To which I can only say: NO don't go to anyone else than yourself!
Don't spent lots of dollars, pounds, marks, francs, yen or kronor 
on someone's labour costs. (Someone who will in the end ruin your
hub by using a multi ton press or a torch!!!) Use the money to buy
the proper Herald/Vitesse/Spitfire/GT6 hub splitting tool from the 
TSSC in Britain! It's only GBP 53 (~USD 87). Remember, You don't 
get much labour time for that sum, and in far too many cases You
will be forced to get another hub to replace the one the pro wrecked
by using professional equipment = brute force and/or heat!
OK So it's just my opinion... But... Been there - done that!
