decent trustworthy mechanic/garage

Thinking/hoping its just the gear selector gone on my Ducati Hypermotard, i went out for a little jolly this afternoon whilst the suns shining, it was all working fine, came to go from 6th down to 1st at a junction and found that it wouldnt go any lower than 3rd, its quite a torquey bike so with a little clutch slipping i was able to head for home, after a long straight in which i hit 6th, i went to go down to third and found it would only let me use 5th and 6th, i managed to make it the few miles home with a lot of clutch slipping, there was no noises or clunks or feel through the pegs to tell me anything had gone wrong i just couldn't go down the box
Long story short i have phoned Riders my local Ducati shop they can get me in at the end of July
no way can i wait that long, we have a couple of independent garages in the area (Bridgwater) both of which i've used and come away unimpressed and unhappy with, so looking for recommendations please of good quality/trustworthy mechanics or garages who you would take it to, i dont mind travelling i can put the bike in the back of the van, i would like it done asap though, so please if you could i'd be most appreciative

Sorry, but the two I've had were Bevel drives ...... 
Must admit, I do keep looking at the (early aircooled) Hypermotards .....
