Default Carb rebuild shop

Can anyone recommend a shop to rebuild my Holley carb? I saw many ads in Hemmings and can't tell one from another. I want to retain my original carb and want it to look and work like new.

Thanks
Neil

They're pretty simple, have you considered doing it yourself. Their instructions are pretty good.
Otherwise, any reputable carb shop should have no problem.

Do-it-yourself is pretty easy.

If you want machine work done to the carb as well as a performance-oriented rebuild, check out *****'s Carb and Dyno Shop in Illinois. (They do Greg Anderson's Pro Stock carbs and are very popular amongst the grassroots NASCAR crowd, as well.) Worth every penny.

EDIT: This URL will have to do you until *****'s site if up and running:
