Default Shop to rebuild rear gear gso area

I'm looking for an experienced shop to rebuild my rear end with 390 gears. I'm not interested in a nine inch, 12 bolt etc. mainly trying to get new bearings and gears installed. I'm in the Greensboro nc area.

Seems no one wants to touch it... I guess rear ends are a lost art these days

It's not an art to set it up right with the proper pinion depth,proper lash,and a good reading with gear marking compound,I think it's more the machining of the gears over the years has gotten more important in wear strength and less emphasis on quietness.
shops don't like having to do it twice because of the customers complaint of noise even though everything they did was to spec. I'm not saying you can't get it quiet,just seems more difficult over the years. When I get noise but the wear pattern is perfect,I couldn't care less as I'd rather have a gearset that's not gonna have to be replaced due to wear.

that little bit of a drive could be the break-in mileage on the return trip.

No i haven't.. The only reason i brought their name up because they advertise their business for a North Carolina base car message board call (Horsepowerjunkies.com). If they can't do it,the only shop close is Mayhem Motorsports out of Raleigh.
