Default Can just any machine shop do this for me?

Im going with a set of diamond forged pistons, 3.905 bore. I understand that you have to have the block cleaned up and bored out a little for the piston install. We have a local Machine shop that does a lot of work on race cars, etc, but Im not sure if they have done any LS1 work. Should just any ole Machine shop be able to bore my block and clean it up enough to install the new pistons? Is there anything special needed for the LS1?

Just wanted to make sure I can take it there...

Thanks
