Default Looking for the best shop for my 6/3 in Los Angeles

I have a very low mileage 996 GT3 which I bought a few months ago. Probably b/c it sat much of its life, there are some fluid leaks including coolant, oil, etc. I have a feeling it will require the engine to be dropped. So I'd like to take care of any other preventative maintenance items at the same time, so that it's in top shape afterwards. Including pinning coolant lines.

I am considering taking it to a dealer. If it's worth it to get top quality service from a dealer, and have the dealer receipts to show any potential future owners (not gonna sell any time soon haha), then I would be ok going that route.

But if there are some highly reputable shops around Los Angeles, particularly San Fernando Valley where car is located, with lower rates, then maybe that would be the best option.

I'm looking to get the work done soon, so I can enjoy driving her asap.

Where do people take their 996 GT3's in Los Angeles?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Quick turnaround at fair prices.
