Where to take rusted suspension for work in Central Florida

I took my 06 E53 to a local BMW specialist to give me a quote for various things incl suspension.

The car is from up north and apparently so rusted they're worried something will break and need to be welded, for which they're not equipped.

Trying to find recommendations on a shop that can handle it.

I replaced the rear lower control arm bushings on the passenger side years ago and it took me days to get it out, involving a very expensive sawzall blade and a lot of swearing.

I could never get the lower rear shock bolts to budge.

The car can't even be aligned properly.

Any ideas where to go? I was referred to Sicopata Performance, but can't find any info on them and the word "Performance" screams dollar signs to me lol.
