Default Suspension rebuild: Need a shop

So, I'm pretty sure I've blown my forks (k8 gix1k). No oil leaking, but there's a forward/backward slop on both forks that wasn't there before, nigh unrideable. They've got some 40,000 miles on them, and I haven't done the maintenance required.

I'm borrowing my brother's bike, I have the forks off of mine and in my living room.

I need to find a shop that can repair these things (change seal, bushing, oil) within this week.

Suggestions?

Cost is a non-issue.

Chad wolfe is a busy busy man. But I'll call the other two tomorrow to see if they can handle this.

Edit: Just spoke to Chad. I'll take the forks to him on Tues.
