Need to recap my Classe Audio DR-8 Amps - need suggestions

I recently purchased two Classe Audio DR-8 amps. The amps were barely used and are in mint condition, but I think I need to have them recapped due to being over 20 years old. I am guessing Classe Audio would be the best place to have the amps recapped, but I am not sure. Any suggestions where to have the amps recapped and what I should expect to pay?

Also should I recap my DR-5 pre amp?

Thanks.

You can try United Radio in East Syracuse NY or George Meyer AV in Los Angeles.

FYI: age is not a reason to replace capacitors. When they get worn out the amp will let you know with buzzing and loss of definition in the bass. If they work, leave 'em alone. I'll bet that's what those two will suggest as well.
