I used to use highland park automotive.... He does have very good reviews... I must of brought my old Honda there around 10 times for routine maintenance and they fixed it up nice and good. They recommended I replace the shocks and some parts of suspension and I did, which costed a pretty penny. The last time I was there I brought it in for just some routine maintenance and I was told he highly recommended new control arms because they were rusted through and unsafe. He quoted me something like $1500. So I brought it to my mechanic friend for a second opinion since I had no idea. He took one look and said they were rusty but completely fine and solid as a rock. I even took a look myself and they were indeed fine. From then on I got the feeling that they were slowly but surely taking me for a ride since I was a return customer who clearly trusted them and had limited car knowledge of my own.

Just my experience... Your mileage will vary... Pun intended
