Service questions and need independent shop in Raleigh/durham

Hello all,
I'm looking for a dealer alternative to service. I have a 2012 g37 coupe with almost 30k miles. I'll prob do the 30 k miles at the dealer. Anyone know of a good independent shop in the rdu area?

Do you guys recommend the full factory service or the dealer rec service at 30k?
Earlier wants 500-800$ expending on what services I perform. Seems kinda steep and was thinking about going independent.

Thanks to all for the advice

All you need is an oil and filter change that you can do yourself. The dealer can also do it for you and will wash and vacuum your vehicle while you enjoy their snacks. Sometimes they mail out discount coupons
Replace your air filters (a 3 min job) and your cabin filter. (About 15 min if you've never done it before) both very easy to do.

There are how to's that you can search for.

Good luck

Buy pin jacks at Advance Auto or Harbor Freight and rotate your tires in the driveway. The only thing at 30k you might consider doing at the dealer is a transmission fluid flush and possibly a brake fluid flush if you've never had either performed yet.
