Anywhere to get precise machining done?

Anywhere to get precise machining done?
Preferably close to me.
But I need to get the center bore of my wheels cut from 60.1 to 66.1
Does anyone work in an automation shop than can do this?
As I'm sure you know, they need to be PRECISE the smallest error here can cause the wheels to wobble and mount like a bitch.
I don't want to spend a fortune and make 2 trips into Toronto.
LMK

Hey Blain, I was going to txt you this but figured it would be easier here. I called my local machine shop and they don't have automation but the have precision measuring tools that would do the trick. The guy I talked to (Gary) said that he would either use a radio drill (sp?) or put it on the lathe if the tires weren't on. He just did a set for someone and they turned out great. He also said that the bore is strictly for clearance and the studs is what holds it on so you shouldn't make it super tight. Anyway, he said he could do it anytime and it would be between 40-70 a wheel. Let me know if you want the details of the shop if you wanted to call them yourself!

Shoot me the number on BBM, I'm assuming they're located in or around Woodstock? It's more on a well traveled path than Toronto is lol
Where are you located again? I'm assuming you actually do the work which would be a big up for me since I actually trust you! Wouldn't mind going out of my way a little to deal with someone I know.

All main roads into our town have been closed for two days now. This happens quite often, so that's another problem here in the winter if you want to get it done.
