Default touchscreen not working

My navigation unit touchscreen function does not work. Anyone in the bay area knows how to fix this, or recommend a shop? Also, I see Navigation repair services on Ebay, are those any good?

I just fixed my own last week on a 2008 is250 it's pretty easy to do if you're comfortable taking off some panels, bolts and wires. I spent about $45 on the touch digitizer from amazon (yes its chinese but looks and works just like it did before with OEM) and about 2 hours. There's a few good youtube videos out there that show it step by step if you want to evaluate whether you can do it on your own:


Since it's the ribbon cable that gets damaged on these digitizers, I think other people on this forum have used a circuit writer pen to fix that connection but my logic was while I already have all of it apart I'd rather just use a new digitizer for $45 even if its bootlegged. Works perfectly ever since but I guess I'll find out eventually if it actually lasts with the cheap part.
