Default Great Indy shop in the Chicago area?

Had the 8 in for a headlight adjustment this week, and I was reminded of some service items from my dealer. I need a new wiper arm,, hood struts, CV boot cover, and Control Arm Bushings (That's all they said, not sure if it needs new arms as well?)

Anyone know of a really good shop in the Chicagoland area? I have one that I used for my Mercedes that exclusively works on German, but they take forever and two days to do the work on your car and get it back to you. I don't think any of those repairs requires them having my car for two weeks.

So I'm on the hunt for an alternative option. Even better if it's in Northwest Indiana! (Cheaper taxes) Thanks guys

Sidenote; I know I need new tires and an alignment as well. Plan on doing that after the CA bushings so the tires are worn evenly. Any recommendations on where to go to buy the tires and get them aligned? Dealer says $224, I know I can get it done for half. Or is it worth it to have Audi do it?

If you're in Chicago proper, I use European Auto Ltd. in lincoln park. My S8 is always the newest/cheapest car they have in

Had good experiences with Spotlight Automotive, and also Rennology.

Spotlight is my preference though. Kevin the owner is a good guy and knows his stuff.
