This reply is way late however, for Colorado Springs based Land Rover folks, I can provide some feedback. Balta is good but pricey and usually booked. He's worked on my Disco a few times and has been most thorough, my complaint is that he rounds his work up to the nearest hour and at $100/hour it tends to make a difference.
What I really liked about Eric & PPR was that they'd work with their customers to find low cost alternatives to repairs or improvements. Balta's not like that at all.
Aside from that he really seems to know his way around Land Rovers and his shop is generally full hence the difficulty in getting work done when you need it.
I'm trying a different shop called TJ's Auto on Monte View just east of Nevada Avenue. The shop is owned by a former Land Rover mechanic and has stellar on-line reviews. We'll see.
