Fuel injector cleaning in Chicagoland?

Can any of you recommend a good place to have fuel injectors cleaned (and tested - not important to me, really, but the placed that do what I need always do this) in Chicago or its suburbs?

This is not for my Porsche, so its in OT. Got a car back on the road after years sitting and it runs like crap because the injectors arent delivering what they're supposed to. Probably due to bad gas - I didn't drain the old stuff (should have, I guess) and just put in a few gallons of new gas and hoped for the best.

This is the kind of thing that seems to run about $100 for four. I know of some places in other parts of the country, but I'd much rather have it done locally if I can.

I have used cruzin performance. It's a send in service, but turn around time was less then a week with shipping...

I've used this guy: www.AccurateDiesel.com - Accurate Technical Services, LLC He's up just North of Grand Rapids, so shipping time should be pretty quick for you.
I've sent 4 sets of injectors to him for cleaning and testing; he always does a good job and provides a flow test report before and after cleaning.
I usually have them back in 4 days; one set came back in three...

Not in Chi town but I sent mine out to MR Injector and was very happy with turn around time and service overall.

Thanks for the suggestions. If I don't get any for Chicagoland (which will, of course, allow me to drive my Porsche to drop them off and pick them up ) I'll use one of these.

The injectors are on my Sentra SE-R, a car that I got new in 1993 and which has been sitting in my garage for years waiting for rod bearings, exhaust work, rear brakes, etc. I drove it for the first time since 2008 the other weekend, and I am thrilled! Even if it still needs rod bearings and runs like crap because of the injectors.
