Default C3 Repair Shop in Los Angeles?

Does anyone know of a reputable and fair repair shop in Los Angeles (preferably close to LAX airport)? I have a '76 Corvette and the back left wheel makes a scratching sound with every revolution mainly at speeds 10-40mph. I thought the area just needs to be greased but has not helped. Sometimes the area makes a popping sound as well. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I just transferred here for the military and not familar with the area. Thank you!

Most likely the trailing arm bearing going bad. You can buy a rebuilt unit on an exchange bases and just swap yours out. Several supporting vendors can provide one. R&R consists of:

Remove rear wheel
Remove brake caliper
Disconnect parking brake cable
Disconnect lower shock and remove shock mount
Disconnect spring bolt
Remove front bushing bolt

Lots of information available on this forum to do the job.
