Default Good Shops in the Columbia SC Area??

I am military so finding a good shop and sticking with it just isn't a thing unfortunately.

If anyone knows of good shops in the area and within an hour or so please let me know.

Apologies if this isn't the right section i couldn't find one that looked to be a better fit.

they hadn’t even come up on my search, it looks like I’ll be using thunder tower Harley to do my work. They have been really helpful and being almost the only place with a dyno boosts them up too.
they seem to be right on track with install costs as well.

I've been to most every H-D dealership in S.C., including those in and around Columbia.
My wife has relatives near Tim's H-D in Anderson, SC and I've been going there for 30+ years.
At first the shop was the typical "shed" shop of the '60's & '70's but they're really grown into a very modern facility and they're noce folks!
