Need A Reliable Shop

Well we made it to Alaska. Things have gone well with a small problem.
Does anyone know of a reliable repair shop around the Anchorage or Seward area to replace rear seals/brakes in this 96 2500 green machine?
Seems as when I was changing oil at the Auto Shop at Elmendorf I noticed the left rear was leaking. They were replaced just before we left So Cal. Maybe I made a mistake to have put synthetic in the diff. We’re still making the trip to Seward for three days and should be back in this area on Wed. the 13th of July. Thank you JR2 for the advice on the oil change.
