In search of an honest auto shop/mechanic that does quality work in the Los Angeles, CA area. Any recommendations?

Currently in the San Gabriel Valley area and have not been able to find an auto shop/mechanic that is honest and does quality work. Prices should be reasonable, not outrageous. Do you have a go-to mechanic? Any recommendations? It does not have to be exclusively in the SGV, I'm willing to drive further if it is worth the trip. Thanks, in advance!

Diagnostic Trouble Code: P0420 (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1))

2016 Honda Odyssey Touring, 75k miles, VCMTuner II installed at 50k miles, NGK Ruthemium spark plugs installed at 58k miles.

A few days ago I noticed loss of engine power when accelerating. A day later, the check engine light turned on. The T-mobile sync up device shows a DTC: P0420.

Could it simply be an oxygen sensor failure? Or does the loss of power indicate the catalytic converter failure? If the converter is done for, I will go Honda OEM. Thoughts? Also, any auto shop recommendations in the Los Angeles area? Preferably closer to San Gabriel Valley.

Thank you, in advance.
