NW Ohio area shops

Anyone have any recommendations for a reputable shop specializing in the 6.0L in the NW area? I'm in Bowling Green specifically so closer is better. Truck specifics are 2005 F350 6.0 SRW fx4

Long story short, I took my truck into the Ford dealership in town and they told me I need the turbo taken down and cleaned, EBP sensor replaced, new ball joints and u-joints on the front axles, plus a few other small things I can't think of. They quoted just under $2800.
I bought a warranty from the dealership where I bought the truck for just this kind of occasion. So Ford contacted the warranty company and filed a claim. It turns out that the dealership, when buying the warranty, put in the incorrect mileage onto the warranty contract. They put the term of the warranty (30,000mi) instead of the miles on the truck when purchased. When this was corrected this morning, the warranty company cancelled my contract because my truck was over the maximum mileage allowed for this contract when purchased (115,000mi). So, because the dealership didn't realize my truck was ineligible when purchasing the warranty, and a typo on the paperwork, I was allowed to pay almost $3000 more for a warranty that I never should have been able to get. So I've been jumping through hoops to contact everyone I need to contact to get my money back. I'm hoping the dealership will make this a smooth process and I won't need to get a lawyer involved.
Sorry, that wasn't very short.

Anyway, once my $3000 is returned, I figured if I'm unable to open another warranty contract, this time through my credit union (which offered more coverage for less) and immediately make a claim, then I will get quotes from some local places that specialize in the 6.0L. I'm hoping that if the price difference is great enough, I can either put the difference toward my loan, or pay for some bulletproofing work.
Thanks!

Thanks! That's a bit far for me, but I'll still keep it in mind!

Even late, I still appreciate it! I ended up going to Segur's Automotive in Ottawa Lake, MI. I had my truck towed up there and had the turbo cleaned and the unison ring replaced, new glow plugs and harness, an abs sensor, plus new Moog problem solver series ball joints, tie rods, drag links, the whole shebang.
