Any head shop can do the job. The problem is, which toolmaker within the shop will do the job.

I had an experience with my Ducai 900 1980. I dropped the goods off, spent 1/2 hr telling the man at the desk how I wanted it done. Drove off and then remembered I had left my cheque book behind. (Was a while ago) Drove back and saw the machinist looking at my head and doing just what I didn't want done. I complained and he gave me my goods back and told me to f... off.

Went home and bought a milling machine. The rest is history as I run a machine shop now.

So the bottom line is, can you trust the person who is doing the job, not necessarly the company. References from others is probably the best way.
