Need help in Ft. Lauderdale

Hoping someone can help me. I have a 2003 CLK500 and have an oil leak. Not too much oil leaking on the ground, but sometimes when I'm driving or sitting at a light I get a stong oil smell coming thru the inside of the car. I live in Ft. Lauderdale, FL and am hoping someone can provide me with a recommendation for a good, reasonably priced shop I can take my car to to try and find the source of this leak and hopefully not get ripped off in the process.

NO LONGER ACTIVE
FYI, it's most likely leaking valve cover seals. It's an easy job and should not be too expensive. Just make sure they use genuine MBZ gaskets - there have been problems with the aftermarket gaskets being to thin and not sealing well. The price difference is negligible.
