I have had good luck working with Marc's Marine up in Eagle (just north of Grand Ledge). Has been outboard work for me so I don't know if he does I/O or not but would be worth a call (http://marcs-marine.com/). I would not recommend Bee's up in St. Johns -- over priced and slow. Grand Pointe up in Lansing seems good, but is expensive.

There is a freelance guy in Lansing that advertises on CraigsList. He knows his stuff but comes across a little fly-by-night. He did some work for me on a couple outboards and no issues though. I think his name is Steve.
