Default Middle GA machine shops

I will be returning back to the states here in a few weeks and will be looking to have some work done. I am still shopping around for a reputable machine shop within driving distance (2 maybe 3 hours) of the Warner Robins/Macon area.

What I am looking to have done:
Clean, bore to 3.800 and install cam bearings in my iron 5.3
Balance my rotating assembly (Wiseco pistons, eagle h-beams, oem ls1 crank, and clevite bearings)

Everything is new, minus block and crank. It is a bare block with just the forward oil plug installed.

I remember asking David or Ron at Vengeance about the machine shop they use, but I forgot.

I used them in the past to clean a couple cranks and heads. I may have them bore it but I have not heard anyone tell me how well they are with balancing. I am not one to be the first to try it if you know what I mean haha

Vengeance uses Grimes automotive in Alpharetta. I have an engine built by them that is about to be put through its paces. Awesome shop to do the build.
