Looking for Mechanic in Central FL!

Title says it all. Looking for a good mechanic in the central FL area.
I take good care of my machines and I'm looking for someone to do some of the bigger jobs and stuff I'm not qualified for.
Not looking to get just one job done, looking for somewhere to take my bus regularly.

For anyone unfamiliar, I have a 1999 Thomas on a Freightliner FS65 chassis with a Cat 3126B and Allison 545. The engine isn't neglected and is clean and not an eyesore. Low miles/hours. The trans is a fresh reman unit.

I don't have any specific repairs in mind at the moment, but that's probably the best time to find someone.

Gonna paint the bus in a field, looking for someone local.

Still looking around. Need a diesel guy/shop for buses, both mine and friends'. Also would like to be able to take my truck somewhere when I can't tackle a particular job.
Lots of members in FL- lets figure out where to take our rigs.
