South Bay-ish Suspension Rebuild Recomendation?

Looking to get my Ohlins R/T SUS Mi20 rebuilt, and prob have new spherical bearings put in. Does anyone have a recommendation for a local-ish shop that can do rebuilds? Basically, I'm hoping to save the cost of shipping up to PSi in Sonoma.

Thanks!

I've looked around a couple of years ago and only found motorcycle shops that only service motorcycle Ohlins.

Imho, Performance Shock isn't that far considering the next closest place I know of that services all kinds of Ohlins shocks is in Socal (Brenner Shocks aka Ohlins guy on YT). There's also the official Ohlins service department, but I'd imagine that would be way more expensive to ship.

You can take off work and go drive up to drop off/pick up.

Any machine shop should be able to press bearings into the top hats, I’ve used A&M motor supply in Los Gatos for like resurfacing flywheels and pressing stuff.
