anyone from chicago/illinois area?

my transmission is shot and need to get it rebuilt.im looking for a good and reliable place that does transmission to have them rebuilt and bullet proof it.
its the R100 trans.
anyone know a good place in chicago/illinois/southside chicago area?
i need this thing done ASAP.
i got a quote from a transmission place around me(chicago ridge and they quoted me 1800 for parts and labor with a 12month/12000mile warranty.
the transmission place i checked out seems like a decent place and its been there forever tho ive never had any work done from them.
what do you guys think?

I used to live in the western burbs - I don't know about doing performance rebuilds but Tri City Transmission in Geneva is very well regarded.

just curious...did you ever had any work done from any of this places you mentioned?or any friends that had work done from them?
also...do you know if they do high performance transmission?
sorry for all the questions but i know alot of places that turned me down when i told them that the truck has custom tune and tuned for a supercharger and N2O.
