Recommendation for indy in SF bay area.

Hi,

My 04 4.4i's driver side CV boot is bad (60k miles on the clock). Also when doing a oil change, the guy show me there is very mild oil leak from both side of the engine and say the oil gasket of the engine is bad . I am not sure which gasket tho but the guy say this is a common problem on the BMW 4.4 engine and the Land Rover engine and want $520 + parts. The X never wet on my garage floor, but there is oil on the sides of the engine if looking up from the bottom of the engine when the X on the air. The oil change garage I used is a very small one which other than oil change I am not trusting it for any big job. So I need a recommendation for a Indy guy who charge reasonably and do a good job.

I am in the Fremont easy bay area.

Thanks

Took my X5 there to have the codes read when I had the 4x4, DSC, self-lev inactive warning. They ran the codes and cleared them and also checked the voltage and concluded it was my alternator. Eventually I changed the alternator myself but they are honest. Highly revcommend them. I have friends that use them as well.
