Where to get shafted locally?

So lets hear from the common wealth of experience on who does good drive shaft repairs around locally. What I have is a custom Toyota/Spicer CV rear shaft With a bad CV joint. It was made by Tom Wood. When it comes to driveshafts, Tom speaks Toyota very well. I'll send it back to him if needed but was wondering if anyone local has come up to speed in the world of custom 4x4 shafts. I already know about some with the following a past experiences:

Dicks: They're ok if it's domestic and you don't mind random pricing depending on who you talk to.

Driveline Service on Washington: Frequently used by 4 Wheelers Supply but didn't balance my last repair very well and should have replaced the CV while they were at it.

Gloeco: Never used them but have heard good and bad.

What say you?

Howdy! I've had great results with the work done at Mesa Driveshaft on Southern, west of Mesa Dr. I've had them shorten, lengthen, balance, retube bend shaft, make front and rear custom CV shafts for my Piggy, and I'll go back there the next time I have a need.
 
I can not make a local recomendation but Tom Woods has done good work for more than a few people I know. His turnaround is pretty damned quick too.

Locally I have been told to stay away from Dicks and Arizona Driveline or Driveshaft can't remember which.

So I get my drive shaft back from Tom Woods and what do I find in the box?
The latest issue of Toyota Trails! Cool!:bounce2:
