Default Anyone know of any shops to recommend taking my Z to for drivetrain?

I took a corner a little too fast onto the feeder road of beltway 8, spun out my car and smashed into the curb. My back passenger rim is totally messed up. The wheel was sitting at a 45 degree angle due to hitting the curb so hard. the dealership quoted me somewhere around the ball park of $5,700 without even fixing the chips on my rims. Thank God there was no body damage done to the car. The transmission and the rear diff are fine as well as the motor. My wheel hub in the back right is bent, broke a control arm. They say they want to change my rear axle and all this bs that they arent going to cut corners and things like that.... anyways i was just wondering if any of yall know of a place that does not charge $90 per hour for labor. If I could find a shop that will fix the problem for somewhere around 3k Ill do it... anyways let me know.

dam dude....that sux....if i knew anyone, i would let ya know. but just to let you know, alot of shops charge around 90 buck, maybe cheaper, but you also have to think about parts...thats the killer, especially getting them from the dealer...you might be able to get aftermarket stuff for cheaper, i would try that, and just pay a trusted mechanic shop to install. look around, im sure you can drop that 5700 price tag..
