Default Any pros in NorCal have experience shaving fenders?

I'm considering doing this myself (I've rolled and shaved before) but pretty busy these days.

I'm wondering if anyone can recommend someone to shave my four fenders cleanly/professionally?

In case anyone is wondering, I am lowered on springs with the following:

19x9 24mm, 245-35-19
19x10 24mm, 265-35-19

Thanks

Ended up shaving the rears myself... came out perfect

Ended up having a "pro" roll the fronts... Not happy

Would you mind telling us who was the "Pro" and what was not done well?

Well the fender has a ripple and the paint cracked. I'd rather not go any further here but feel free to PM me.

And for anyone reading this... I don't know why I keep giving people chances with the rolling. The shaving comes out soooooo clean and as long as you leave at least 1/8" there is absolutely no risk in compromising the integrity of the fender.

NEVER again will I roll a fender in this lifetime. Shaving is too clean, easy, and quick.

After 1 attempt I consider myself a fender shaving expert and it could not have come out cleaner.
