Default LS430 Alternator is gone...shop recco in SGV area?

So my alternator has decided to stop charging my battery and since the car is not a daily driver if it sits in the garage for more than 24 hours the battery is drained I hooked up a volt meter to it and found out that its getting between 10 and 12 amps of charge so it has got to get replaced now I know I need help finding a good reputable shop in the San Gabriel Valley area of Los Angeles to replace it, your recommendations are welcomed.

Meanwhile you can get a battery maintainer so that you can keep going.

take it to a good Auto Electric, and have your existing one rebuilt.
