Reputable Shop in Bay Area for ARB Install

Does anyone know a reputable shop in the bay area that I could have install an ARB in my front IFS diff? Install problems are the biggest cause of failure for these things and I want it to be done right.

I will be removing the diff myself and taking in to the shop. What should I expect to pay for the install?

Yeah, I got your PM. I'm going to give them a call today or tomorrow.

That sounds about average, though the arb may be more with drilling a tapping the hose fitting.

I had Marlin (in Fresno) set up my ARBs a few years back. He charged $25 more for the ARBs than for other setups.
