Default Who here works on Audis as an independent shop? Need some help

May need some help with a propshaft support bearing replacement on good ol' 1990 Coupe Quattro. I can get the part but I can't wrestle with it on a jack stands, nor do I want to anymore, and would rather take it to someone who knows what they are doing but would also listen for some suggestions as I have pretty good idea of needs to be done. Center support bearing for sure and maybe U-joint(hopefully not).

I remember some names here, like Al@CPT?, VHx or V somthing?? Give me some contacts, whoever is competent.
TIA

Default What are you trying to say?

You trust him so much or he won't have time for my car or both?
