Default Reasonably priced mechanic in Adelaide?

Hi
I would like my front struts replaced as they feel soft and the liquid control arm bushes replaced. Possibly some other odds and sods. I don't have the tooling or time for these jobs.
I called around a few places and received ridiculous quotes. Could anyone recommend a place? (Pm is welcome if you don't wish to post here).

What side of town are you on, and out of curiosity what were the quotes?

North-Western...
It's a bit hard to provide quotes without extensive write up as the amount of work varied. I.e. replacing with oil filled vs dry, replacing all front suspension points vs only the control arms etc... There was alott if varied opinions on how it should be done.
