Default Need a good machine shop in Atlanta area

Well I got a Sohc ZC motor that I replaced the head gasket with a MLS one. Unfortunately, one of the corners is wet with oil so I'm pretty sure the sealing surface wasn't good enough. I had scraped off the old one carefully hoping the mating surfaces were good.

Anyway, I'm going to take everything apart and have the surfaces machined, the cylinders honed, and the valves reground. What's the best machine shop in the Atlanta area to do all this? I want everything done correctly and to specs (I know...I should have done all this while the motor was apart the first time).

I hope this is the right forum to post this...I didn't know where else to put it.

Grimes Automotive had a good review from a Corvette forum saying the guy was very meticulous...which I like. I'm in Northeast AL where most of the automotive guys are hacks so finding a quality shop is important.

Keep up the suggestions if anyone else has them. Thanks.
