Wanted: E30ix shop recommendation

Hi all,

Looking for any recommendations on a shop to do a checklist type inspection, really would like someone familiar with the e30 and especially an ix.  I'm hoping for a shop that do a once over of my 91' ix  let me know what should be fixed (I've turned a wrench a few times but I'm just not comfortable diagnosing issues) etc so that I can tackle what I think I can tackle and then also have them do the things that might be outside what I'm looking to do personally.  

I'm pretty sure it needs:

a valve adjustment (I might take on)

rear wheel bearing-drivers side (I'm thinking I'd like them to do)

parking brake adjustment-tried but didn't succeed so thinking farm out with the wheel bearing

various rust repair-welding (I'm doing)

Fuel gauge short-replaced ODO gears which was successful but since putting the cluster back the fuel gauge reads full all time, its definitely not.-might take another stab at it myself

shifter rebuild-was thinking I'd tackle but being an ix might be out of my zone

new suspension components-probably me whenever I get a change to buy the parts

various bushings throughout-TBD

 

I'm hoping for somewhere/one in Madison area, not trying to drive the car too much until I at least get the wheel bearing fixed

 

Thanks!
