By way of an update, my fork & shock came back excellent.
The guy seemed really genuine and honest, no BS. The price was fair and he used all genuine parts.
He good with communication, did an evaluation, sent me a quote with some options and then honored the price when the work was done.
He was working from home, doing it out of his garage, but it was a pretty awesome garage, everything was spotless and organized really professionally. So that wouldn't detract me from using him, the whole process was very professional. He returned all the old parts/seals which shows he did the work.
Apart from that, just riding the bike again it feels a whole lot better! Amazing what a difference a service makes!
This guy definitely knew what he was talking about, so I'd recommend using them.
Good luck!
