Where to get a distributor rebuilt?

Anyone know of any good shops to get a distributor rebuild in the richmond area?
Preferably with a quick turn around time.

I can't suggest a place to take it, but I'll suggest to NOT take it to Hanover Tire on Williamsburg. You'll come back with more "wrong" with your car than when you started.

Why not just get a new one? It is't all that expensive?

What exactly are you looking to get done? Most repair shops do not do any internal rebuilding of distributors, but if you put up some more info I might be able to get you in touch with some sources in that area.
