New to the Club, looking for a good mechanic in Guelph area.

Hi all,
I am new to the club and just wanted to introduce myself. I own a 2007 Titan Off Road with a leveling kit, K&N intake and Magnaflow exhaust. We also just bought a stock 2010 Xterra Off Road which I am quite excited about. When my wife and I lived in Australia we had a 2007 Nissan Patrol. It was a beast and one the the most fun vehicles I've ever owned. We literally lived in that truck for months, up and down the coast and into the outback. It was set up with a couple inches of lift, snorkel, ARB rear locker, and few other things.
While I am excited about the opportunity to get out and do some wheeling with some of the members of the group, right now I am in need of a decent mechanic in the Guelph area who is familiar with Nissan trucks. I would prefer not to go to the dealership as I know that they have a lot less leeway when it comes to how they quote and charge for work.
My Xterra is having some issues with overly sensitive ABS when breaking and turning right only. I am assuming a faulty sensor.
Also my titan has excessive road noise at all speeds. I thought it was just my tires that were scrubbed out but i did an alignment and had the tires replaced and the noise is still there, maybe even worse. The sound seems to be coming from the front passenger side. Both of the front bearings have been replaced in the last year as well as tie rods and upper and lower ball joints. The ball joints were done when the passenger side upper ball joint let loose leaving the house. When this happened it partially pulled out the drive shaft as well. It has run fine since then but I am worried that something that happened during that incident has caused some issues.
As you can see I have a few issues that I need to get checked out that could add up quite quickly and I would feel a lot better taking my trucks to a mechanic that has been recommended by some fellow Nissan truck lovers.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!!!
