Visit forums that specialise in your make/model of vehicle, I bet you will find a good selection of ex-mechanics of the company that makes the vehicle working independently.
I needed a head gasket done in 2011 got the usual £1000 quote from a garage, went online and got an ex landrover guy to drive from Birmingham who did a bloody good job for £450 cash. He even spotted the faulty "new" radiator I'd had fitted !
