Reputable shop for fuel pump replacement?

Hello Fellow PDXers,

I usually take my 2006 JCW (about 109k miles) to Mini of Portland for service, but I'd like to hear about other local shops that people trust in the area to have my fuel pump replaced. I've looked over a couple of the DIY threads and it looks just a bit beyond what I feel comfortable doing on my own.

Thanks!

You can save some money if you are mechanically inclined. Im sure some of the MINIacs could help you.

Any recommendation on great mini mechanics in the PDX area?

s0ren, I've taken both my MINI and C43 to Botta motorworks. They're right near the Pearl district, on 16th and Flanders. Good prices, down to earth guys, etc. Only charged me $175 for the clutch slave on my 05 S.
