Shop in South Carolina

I'm in Greenville, SC for 9 months work.
Drove down from NY, no problems. Bearing maybe got a little louder.
I'm looking for a shop here to take care of a few issues.
Rear wheel bearings.
Front lower ball joints.
I'll add trans fluid swap to that, as its behaving oddly after the drive.
Does anyone know of a shop that can tackle that in Greenville, or close?
'04 Disco.
Thanks.

You drove a rover from NY to upstate SC for 9 months of work? This is a city where you have to drive 30 min to get anywhere. Even if it's 5 miles away it takes half an hour (woodruff road for example). You're a brave soul.
I keep a spare disco 2 as a parts rig, the little lady daily drives hers so it donates lots of parts to keep it rolling. While it's picked pretty well there's still a good bit left. If you need any parts while you're here hit me up, if I have them I'm certainly better priced than the website used parts suppliers.
I've never used the local Rover shop, called them about programming a new remote entry key and they were not confident in doing so. I didn't want to waste time and money traveling to woodruff road, hells gate, for a maybe we can do it. I run a shop and in the past 20 plus years of doing this for a living I've learned not to put much faith in a shop that says maybe we can do it. They seem to be the only game in town. Other than that I couldn't tell you anything about them. Being around for so long I'm sure they are great at things other than programming a new or used key for a disco 2. I eventually plan on purchasing a nanocom but in our 2 or so years of ownership I've not had an issue that required the 600 dollar purchase. Between the foxwell, snap on and torque pro it's done all the basics I have really needed except keyless entry programming.

I got to know Wes quite well, he has one of the old Testbook machines. He can flash and ECM, had him flash an SAI ECM with a non SAI file - no issues. He has gotten a lot bigger, a lot more guys working there, but a lot of them are old RoverTechs. The work on the old school stuff, which is rare now.
