Recommendation for a good Indy shop in the S.F. Bay Area

My 2009 suffers from the following problems
- squeaking from front right (ABC)suspension, also happens when turning the wheel
- whining of the ABC pump (or pulsation damper)
- battery drain

My current Indy tried unsuccessful to fix all 3 problems (they were kind-a fixed but all came back with a vengeance a year later). So I am looking for a new one. There was one shop in Burlingame (forgot the name) that was highly recommended but when I went there for an estimate the first thing he told me is that I need new brakes (I had changed the pads and rotors 2k miles earlier) so this guy is a no-go
Does anyone have a good recommendation for an Indy on the Peninsula who knows his stuff around an ABC suspension and who won’t rip you off?

OR which of the official MB dealers between San Fran and San Jose can be trusted the most?

Thanks

This may be very out of the way but Marlow Mercedes Werks in Monterey are amazing I’ve been going to them for 7 years honest and priced right
