Default Rear Diff Rebuild

Hi,
I was taking the rear suspension apart, and when I took the passenger side half shaft out the slip yoke that goes into the diff slid out with the half shaft. After a few moments of swearing I calmed down enough to realize I prolly need to get the diff rebuilt.

So I was wondering if anyone had used a shop or someone that they had good luck with, or a goo quality product.

also if anyone has had any bad experiences with shops please let me know via PM or Email, do not post in here as I dont want to turn this into a bashing thread.

Thanks
Ed
