CVT dying --shop recommendations?

I'm fairly certain the transmission on my mini is slipping and am looking for a shop that could rebuild the CVT for me. I live in downtown DC does anyone know of a shop in Maryland or Virginia that I could go to?

So I took the Mini to Curry's Auto in Dulles. The one in Chantilly also responded to my email but they were two of the few. Most of the other places either just told me they would replace the transmission right off or didn't even respond.

Curry's has been great to work with! The people are nice and they communicate well. Sadly, they have not found anything wrong with the Mini. In fact they say that it is normal for it to drive this way based on what the BWM Transmission Specialist are telling them. So, I'm still skeptical that nothing is wrong with the Mini but I'm not sure what else to do at this point.
