Looking for a decent shop in Southern Wisconsin to address some issues.

I'm looking for a local shop in Southern Wisconsin to address a few issues on my 2011 GL450.

1) I have an oil leak which I believe is coming from the back (tailgate side) of the oil pan. It was pretty minimal but with numerous starts on some -15 degree days I think the problem has been intensified.

2) The A/C went ouweat the end of summer so this will need to be addressed before summer.

3) I replaced the rear suspension bags along with the front drivers side. Now I get a thumping sound when I hit imperfections in the road. I can't tell if its from that front struts/bag.

4) The SUV go's through remote batteries like a person eating popcorn during an intense movie. I've tried CR2025, CR2032 from numerous brands. I've watched numerous "fix" videos but the issue happens on 2 different remotes.

This is my son's car and we're the 3rd owner (and I know the Carfax wasn't clean). The vehicle has 140K on it. Everything else seems to be ok and I've installed a Kenwood style table for him to have Carplay (and Android Auto when I drive it).
