Good Mechanic in Chi. W or NW burbs?

Do any of you Chicagoans from the West (Lombard area) or Northwest (Schaumburg area) suburbs have any recommendations on what Mazda dealers have the best mechanics? I am trying to decided who will look after my 8 the best. I wanted to stick with a Mazda dealership because the Mazda engineers are obviously still de-bugging their design.

I know Schaumburg Mazda has 3 mechanics with 20+ years of experience each. Any positive or negative feedback for Wilkens, Biggers, Schaumburg, etc?

A little bit out of the way but I recommend The Autobarn Mazda in Lagrange.

5700 South La Grange Rd.

No Problems so far. And they are very friendly.

I was told that Schaumburg has great rotary mechanics, but I've heard too many negative things about their dealership as a whole to go there. I've been using Andersen in Crystal Lake where I bought mine and have been very happy, but I've needed nothing more than basic stuff (recalls/flashes).
