Jeep mechanic recommendation on STX

So my wheel speed sensor on my Jeep has gone bad and I am sick of being ripped off by the Jeep dealership at Caribbean Auto Mart. They quoted me $164 for a new speed sensor (just for the part!!!), and online at rockauto.com it is $31. A $130 difference!!! Absolutely ridiculous. So does anyone have a recommendation for a mechanic that would be good at installing the part once it arrives? The mechanic I usually use doesn't do wheel stuff. Thanks in advance for the help!!

We're real fond of Jeff and Terry's, located next to the clothing store that is across the side street from McDonald's, (across from the Federal building) in Princess/Orange Grove area. They took really good care of my Jeep, fair and honest. If they can't do it, they'll point you in the right direction. Sorry no number handy.

Peter and Kevin at Champion Auto in Frederiksted are reasonable and do a great job. Very nice people. I called when my jeep broke down, they said they would meet me at the jeep. They were there, hood open trying to assess the situation before I even got there, vehicle was done next day!

I meant to say Golden Rock. I can NEVER remember that name....always calling it by something else.

Mike at MPH Automotive in Golden Rock has done a great job with my Jeep the past few years. His number is (340) 513-7427. Very trustworthy and reasonably priced.
