yea all the shops I really know of are around Denver, or the Springs...if that's not too far for you.

It's worth what you are willing to pay. I paid $17.5k for an '06 MR with 113k miles, a burned up clutch, and a respray on the driver's side. But I really wanted a WW '06 MR, so....
Not to mention a friend told the seller how bad I wanted it. LOL. That punk.
I'm still happy with it. No regrets.

Denver is about 3.5 to 4 hrs away from where I'm at. But i am always looking for a reason to head that way. The only problem is, my time is valuable and i don't have much of it. Soo spending a weekend in Denver trying to contact, get my car in, get it worked on, and get outta the shop is highly unlikely to happen.

I recommend Christian at Pure Drive Performance out of Miliken if you are just looking for a tune. Hes a remote tuner but does road tunes for us locals. He tuned my 9 a couple weeks ago and I couldnt be happier. 450hp 400 trq at 26psi on e85. Plus hes an awesome dude. If you are coming from Gran Junction Id say leave super early and make a day of it. It is well worth it!
