Got quoted a ridiculous price for a Mini Cooper AC compressor. Is there a decent place in Sharjah that won't empty my wallet?

My 2014 Cooper S has been making this faint rattling noise from the engine bay for a while and now the AC is blowing barely cool air even on max so I'm pretty sure the compressor is on its last legs. Called up the dealership just to get a baseline quote and nearly dropped my phone when they told me the number including labor, like I get that BMW parts aren't cheap but that was just insulting for a car this old. I've been looking around for independent shops that actually know these Prince engine Minis because the compressor location is a pain to reach and I don't want someone learning on my car and stripping bolts or messing up the serpentine belt routing. I stumbled across a few recommendations for Mini Cooper AC Technicians in Sharjah while scrolling through some UAE car groups on Facebook and it got me thinking maybe there's a solid option closer to home instead of trekking all the way to Al Quoz in Dubai. Anyone had their Mini's AC compressor done locally in Sharjah recently and walked away happy with both the work and the price? Just trying to avoid getting rinsed twice, once by the part cost and again by labor.
