amp repair in san francisco bay area ML 335

I am looking for a good amp repair shop in the San Francisco Bay Area that can repair a Mark Levinson 335 amp. I have already replaced the capacitors and surge resistors, but the amp is still not working. I know there are 2 official ML repair centers (Texas and East Coast).
Thanks for recommendations.

Thanks for everyone's feedback. I'll start with Trusound and let you know.
I have received additional recommendation:

Does anyone have experience with them?
In regards to Mark Levinson centers: I would prefer an authorized center, but have heard mixed feedback. And when considering shipping + extremely high repair quotes it becomes an uninteresting option.
Thanks,
Dirk

Spoke with Nick at TrueSound - he recommended against a repair other than an authorized center. ".. too many custom parts in the Levinson ..."
I'll keep you updated

Sorry for the late response.

First I spoke with Nick at TrueSound - he recommended to take it to an authorized ML repair center.

I then sent it to:
George Meyer A/V in Los Angeles
12418 Santa Monica Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90025
(310) 820-1113

Good experience with relative low risk
- $60 to determine cost of repair, If they repair this will be credited towards the cost. If not you pay $60 + shipping.

Turn around time including shipping was 3-4 weeks.
Overall repair was expensive, but less so than going via a local dealer. I received the repaired ML back in April and it works beautifully since then. Only regret - I should have send it in earlier
