Default Need a shop for head work...recommendations?

I tried a search and there was one shop near me, but I called the number proved...and it wasnt them.

Anyways, I need to have a head shaved down to make sure its not warped.
Any good shops around here, or if you know someone who will do it on the side let me know.

head is for a 97 neon 2.0 DOHC. Im in chester. so anywhere within reasonable distance from me, throw them at me.

Thanks in advance.

I was talking to a guy today actually. His name is Mack and apparently he's worked at Nascar on race engines for a few years.

He's at Warren's on Research Road in Midlo/Richmond. Once you enter Research Road from Midlothian Tpke, it's on the right about 75-100 feet in.

CHS..Competition Head Services. He does awesome work and has the cleanest shop you'll EVER see..ever.

He does a lot of work on Top Fuel motors for John force and others so it might take him a few weeks to get around to it ( if the season is still goin on) but he'll do it right.
