Machine shop recommendations in DFW for simple machine work?

I picked up a set of 243 heads that I want to have milled ~.020 and have a valve job done.

Any suggestions for a machine shop? Haven't been in Texas too long, so it's all new to me.

Calvert and Kim Barr are our go to guys and have been for a while. They've both done some nice motors for us. I'm sure they can take care of you.

Stay the hell away from NTX machine!! Will lie straight to your face about work completed. Told me they milled my heads .030 when I called to double check before installing them on my truck. Checked them myself and they had only been milled .007. Took them to Calvert and he got in done for me. Wayne is a good guy. NTX also has no problem overcharging for parts. $335 for a set of $250 valve springs. Crooks
