Good mechanic/tech in Western NC?

I have a 2001 6x4 Diesel and am needing to find a reputable, honest, experienced mechanic or tech in Western North Carolina - 1 hour west of Asheville, in Franklin/Sylva. Can anyone make any recommendations? I will go an hour or more to find a good mechanic. This could get me into North Georgia or perhaps even into Tenn. The motor is having some intermittent running issue and I believe the trans/brake fluid needs to be changed and the friction additive added, as the brakes are terribly noisy. I might also consider selling this Gator if someone is interested....
