Dealerships suck, where should I go?

I know that if I go to the dealership to fix a problem with leaking coolant, they are going to rip me off. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I should take my 8? Obviously, my warranty has expired. I live in Sothern Cali, Calabasas.

anyone??

I don't know, all I know is I reversed one day and I heard a screeching noise, and again intermittantly when driving on the freeway, and then I noticed green coolant beneath the front of my car the next day. Im scared to drive it, and really need to get it fixed. I dont really know how to check where the leak is coming from, this is my first real car that is mine to take care of, so I dont really know how to go about checking.

Im guessing it could be a crack in the hose or in the coolant holder itself, but I dont know how to make sure.
