Looking for a business to inspect the secondary tensioners on my XK8. Any suggestions in the Mpls metro area?

A few people responded to a similar request in this thread:

I haven't had mine in any shop yet so can't make any recommendations in our area. If you have some experience working on cars, the valve covers aren't too difficult to get off; at least mine weren't.

Since they are metal, I believe they are 3rd gen. From what I have read, 2nd gen were still plastic.
