Service: NNJ/ NYC. Advice on Shocks/Struts/Axle Shaft

Can anyone recommend a good service facility in Northern NJ (Bergen County) or NYC (Manhattan/Brooklyn)? I'd like alternatives to a high priced dealership.
Also I was told (by a front end shop) the following needs to be replaced on my 95 900 Se Convertible with 60.000 miles:
a. Rear Shocks ($120 parts)
b. Front Struts ($185 parts)
c. Left Side Axle Shaft ($225 part)
d. 4 hours labor for a-c.
TOTAL: 850 dollars.
1. Do these prices seem reasonable (as if any repair over 500 for a car w/ low mileage is reasonable)?
2. They are not using OEM parts (Gabriel shocks). Is there a big difference (on my Peugeot the general consensus was nothing compared to OEM)?
3. I've had all 4 wheels balanced and the car aligned. At speeds >65 I feel a vibration, more so when I accelerate. I was told this was due to c) Left Side Axle Shaft. Does this sound like a correct diagnosis. I had hit a pothold at 65mph in the dark and blew a tire.
Regards and I appreciate the advice and assistance finding a reasonably priced Saab shop in my neck of the woods. I'd drive to NYC if the shop were good.
