Mechanic recommendations in NC

I am in Chapel Hill, NC. I am looking for recommendations for good mechanics in my area. I am only having some glow plug issues right now that will need addressing with winter coming on. My 06 has 105,000 miles. It is stock except for Blue spring upgrade and coolant filter so I'm thinking it's time to start planning for some proactive upgrades. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks For the replies. Are these recommendations from personal experience or hearing good things about trucks unlimited from others? I was hoping for someone closer to me. I will give them a call. If anybody else knows of anymore please let me know. Thanks!!

Rudy's diesel. One of the best shops on the east coast for 6.0 work, by reputation. They are expensive as hell though.

Thanks. I've sent a lot of people there (or tried to). His knowledge, skills, and reasonable prices make it worth the trip.
