Looking for a good indie shop in Queens/Long Island area

My 2006 4.4i is in need of some maintenance and i need to get this done before the cold weather comes in.

i have an oil leak.
the bottom left side(driver) of the engine is wet with oil.
I have the smoking issue also. smokes when pulling off. Does not smoke at start up.

I am in the Queens JFK area and need someone who has worked on these before with all the known issues.

Someone honest
