Who's the best shop to dimple a Ballistic Advantage nitride AR-15 barrel for me?

I'm looking for very high quality and reasonable turnaround time, hopefully someone who has the right machine and does this a lot.

Thanks.

Dimple jigs are about $25 plus a drill bit.
I have KVP jigs for .625 and .750
I imagine a smith will charge more than $25.

Yep, I also have a Kaw Valley Precision gas block dimpling jig; it's pretty easy to use and doing it yourself is going to save time & money.

Retro Arms Works, John Thomas is the answer. Excellent customer service, work and the fastest turn around times I’ve experienced.

Just going to throw this out there, if you don't already have the gas block, clamping type gas blocks are more secure than set screw types.
