Looking for someone to rebuild my front end.

Hi all!!!

The front end of my 74 Swinger needs to be rebuilt soon. I took it to Les Schwab and they gave me a quote of $830.00 which sounded fair to me. After thinking about it I decided that if I can find someone who needs the work or a small shop I would rather have them do it. I have nothing against Les Schwab and they have always treated me well but there are a lot of people with skills that are struggling to make ends meet and if I can help just one of them then why the heck not.
What Im looking for is someone in the Woodinville/Everett/Lynnwood WA area that could do my front end and if things work out then I would also need some other things done as I have the money (Next is to fix a trans leak). Im not looking for cheap just a good mechanic that I can trust and keep going back to.
If anyone knows someone then please let me know.

Thanks,

Edward

JMO, why not pull it apart yourself and just have the shops do the bushings?

I did mine just a little bit ago and it was my first time ever taking a torsion bar suspension apart. Its pretty easy to assemble/disassemble and the only pita are the bushings and you kind of need a few decent hammers for the old/worn corroded parts.(3lb sledge and big deadblow hammer were my go-to's)

And i'm certainly not a professional. Prior to this car i had only done basic tune-ups.
