My 97 needs a makeover, shops in phoenix?

After 10 years and 125k, my paint has peeled completely off the top of the cab, the hood is not far behind, dash is cracked in multiple places, and the drivers seat is torn again (my wife is tired of sewing it back together). I'm not about to sell this truck, mechanically it's the most reliable I've ever had. Cosmetically, it's the ugliest. I don't want to waste money on 500 dollar paint jobs that look horrible in 6 months, I'm wondering if anyone has had good experience with a paint/body shop in the phoenix area that does quality work. Price is secondary, I want it done right. Same goes for an interior shop, I need the seats reupholstered, new carpet, new dash.

If you've had a positive experience with anyone in the area, please let me know. Thank you.
