Phoenix will probably cost more in the short haul but I feel they're pretty well established and they were real good to talk to.  Had no qualms at all about doing the work even after looking at the car on my website.  I plan to leave it with them for whatever time it takes so it's not like I have to stand around and watch although I'd love to.
