Question Good repair shop or somone who services SVXs in NJ

After, having some regular gas put into the car by mistake which caused knocking. The vibration continued for a couple weeks after it was almost totally re-filled with 93 octane. I read up on other threads and it could either be the wheels being slightly unaligned or the U-Joint needs to be replaced. I also have been wanting to replace the radiator for some time, with the PWR I bought a while back and flatter cap included.

I just want to know if there is a good repair sjop or someone here who is familiar with servicing SVXs to do it in the tri-state area. Any info would be helpful.

Thanks and I am now actually getting a pretty strong feeling that it probably is the U-Joint. Considering most of the vibration eminates from the engine area and when I just let it roll in gear without accelerating its jerky. Even though oddly enough, now the shaking has subsided a bit.

Do you think there is a chance anything specifically the U-Joint can actually break if I do nothing about it soon?
