Default Indie near Indy?

Any Hoosiers out there? Got a good local independent shop you can recommend?

I only get through the house 1 day a week (typically Saturday) and don't have much free time when I AM home. This makes it difficult to shop around for a good local mechanic/shop. So I'm just trying to "shop" as efficiently as I can.

Got a 1K service coming up on a 2012 FLHTC and would rather use someone besides the dealer where I purchased it.

Thanks for your time.

If you can get away from Indianapolis a little - you could try Marcum's V-Twin service on State Road 9 in Pendleton. Experienced and professional.

Thanks for the responses.

Not much to pick from but I'll consider both.

Which staff?
One of the previous mentioned shops?

Any other suggestions?
I'd love to find a friendly, competent, and reasonably close shop!
(I'm on the NE corner of the 465 loop)

Pretty old post that was dug out of the grave but I found one of the best Indy wrenches around using Craigslist.
