How to choose a good laptop repair shop?

OK, looks like we need to put both Toshiba R500s in for repair. One repair place has quoted us between £90-£120 for a fix, based on my description of the fault.

However, I can't seem to find a way to find out whether this or any other repair place is any good, and I worry that if when they've got their hands on our laptops they phone us back and say the repair will be more expensive, I'll be left in something of a bind: should I just grumble and pay up guessing that anywhere else would also charge the same, or do I treat it like a bait and switch and try a second repair shop about which I know as little as the first?

So, can anyone recommend a laptop repair place in London, or failing that, can anyone think of what might be a way to pick a good one?
