Independant Repair Shop

Can anyone reccomend an independant repair and maintenance shop in Orlando Fl.? I'm through paying Dealer Flat Rate for simple maintenance work.
Here is what I was quoted for maintenance items.

Oil and Filter $83
Spark Plugs $180
Coolant Flush $120
Brake Fluid Flush $120
Serpentine Belt $100

To me, these items should be able to be done in about 1 hour but the dealer insist on flat rate per item. I know I could do most if not all items myself, but I don't really have the time to maintain all 3 of my vehicles. Any help would be appreciated.

Even an independant repair shop would charge way to much to do those simple things......I'd recommend reconsidering and finding the time to do them yourself.
