Mechanic for VP44 swap

I'm looking for my injection pump to be swapped. Any members in this local area (Orange County, NY 12589) that can recommend a seasoned mechanic to do this without drama?

Thanks for any input.

I've been looking around at local shops. Whats a good deal? $475 is what I was quoted.

If its a two hours job, (i'm not doubting it), these shops up here are a royal rip off.

That's probably including the price of the VP44.
