Hi. The only garage I trust with working on my cars is Millar Motors in Kilsyth. I've not needed any repair work done on my Jimny that I couldn't go myself yet but in my 24 years of car ownership he's been my go to garage for major work and MOT's.
Kingpin bearing is a really easy (if time-consuming) job, you should be able to do it with minimal mechanical experience.
As a complete novice, I changed both mine over a year ago, and are still in good running order now after heavy off-road use. There is a step-by-step instruction guide on this website (link above). Buying the parts and a load of tools to do the job still saved me a load of money compared to what the garage would have cost.
