Metal in filter

I changed my oil the other day and found a small amount of silver in the filter when I cut it open. Looks like Crome shavings. I only have 65000 kilometers on my 99, as it is only a summer driver the oil is only changed in the fall, 4600 kilometers this season. I suspect that it is the start of an IMS bearing failure. My question is, has anyone had this done in SW Ontario who can recommend a good shop.
