Independent MINI Mechanic in NC?

My '03 "S" has been wonderfully trouble free, until now. I find myself in need of a window regulator replacement for my ride. No problem, I say to myself, I'll just schedule it in to the dealer. So, I called them up and got a price quote. Talk about sticker shock! Needless to say I'm now in search of someone who can do the job without draining my bank account. My normal go to guy would have been Dan from Grassroots Garage, but he shut down a few years ago. Anyone have any other suggestions or recommendations? If possible, I'd like to keep the search within 3 hrs of Fayetteville. You can either answer here or send me a PM. Thanks in advance.

G3 Automotive in Raleigh. Chris has done all the non warranty work on both my old R56 and on my current F56. Excellent work for a reasonable price. There's a good pizza place next door, a Steak And Shake across the parking lot and a sushi restaurant a five minute walk away. What more could you want?

Oh yeah, if you're a member of http://www.tarheelminis.org/content.php he offers a member discount.
