where to get drive shaft replaced

Hi, My CV boot was torn and is spewing green lubricant all over creation.
I went to Napa and got a whole new shaft (cuz i heard it was easier). I read up on the install process and decided that I'm too lazy and would rather have a shop on the island replace it for me.

Can anyone recommend a good place to get this done?

thanks!
-Mike

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Vakamon. That's where you want to go. I'm sure others will agree.

Semi true. We would like maybe a 80-20 split between general and performance, and have the long term goal of becoming a subaru specific shop. FYI it's just me and Davin now, no more shop monkeys. Will post specifics on the shop later.
