PNW shop recommendation for servicing & mods (SSK,UCP)

I've seen a few of these recommended shop threads, but looking to get a refreshed recommendation. So far I've contacted Strictly and Eastside Bravarian. Strictly came back almost same price as dealership. I'm looking at Group 2 Motorsports.

I need to have spark plugs and fluids replaced.

Additionally, I'd like to get an Auto Solution Short Shifter Kit and the UCP installed (I may do the UCP on my own after seeing quite a few people DIY it with limited tools), but I definitely don't have any room or access to get under the car.

Any new or old shop recommendations would be awesome. Thanks all!

Derek at AMS auto group in Tacoma. Highly recommend he does all my service if I don't go to the dealer.

For spark plugs, air filters, oil change and cabin filter

Dealer quoted: $2000 lmao said it would take 6-8 hrs
Derek quoted: $650-700 was a little more expensive since I went with NGK spark plugs. Finished in 3-4 hrs

Group2 did me dirty 10 years ago. They're quite popular with some circles, but I can't seem to bring myself to go back.

Just had mine serviced at Signature Independent Services in Kirkland. Spark plugs (I provided), oil change and brake fluid for 1030. Had a quote from Strickly and it was like 1100 just for plugs (not provided).

I was quoted 1300 from various shops and the dealer for plugs! I did it myself for under 2 hours! This was my first time changing the plug in this car! I did not have power tools, either! I had a shop say when we charge from the time we bring the car into the shop to get started!
