It would be better if you would tell us what are the problems. It is far better to do the work yourself with help from knowledgeable forum members.

Unless you have a lot of money to burn. A good shop will cost you $60 to $100 per hour, plus parts, plus taxes etc.

You should do all of your own anaylsis, all of you own dismantling, bring to the shop only parts that need repair beyond your tools and abilities [this is usually just machine shop stuff like boring cylinders etc], and put it all back together yourself.

This is the only practical way except for the very wealthy.

So tell us what is going on and we will do our best to help.
