Default good machine shops?

i'm located in southern OR and i need a machine shop that does good work. at this point i don't really care where it is i just need someone who can check my stuff to make sure it's ready to go, and if at all possible, in a timely manner. NorCal would be acceptable too, if there's any down there. no major work to be done, got all brand new parts, staying 346ci, just gotta get everything checked over so i can put it together, and probably mill my AFR's .020". anybody know where i can go? what i can expect for a turnaround time?
