Default Walnut blasting service near New England area

Does anyone know any shop provide walnut blasting service on our IS250 around New England area? I've contacted several shops here and they only do walnut blasting on German cars.

She is a 2007 IS250 AWD, has 115k miles now, still surviving via catch can and Seafoam. I really want to clean the valves since I planned to keep her over 200k. Anyone near this area who can share some thought? Thanks guys.

No, I haven't found any shop will do this for a Lexus in this area. Thankfully my car is running fine so far.
The only thing we need is a vacuum adaptor for the blaster to the 4GR engine. The reason BMW/Mini/VW shops won't do it for a Lexus is that nobody made that adaptor.
Hope somebody can 3d print one and everything will be way easier.

Anybody at northeast knows any shop will do the job please let us know.

Thanks man, contacted them, see if we can get any advise. I think every 250 owner should have this adaptor. Walnut blasting for every 80-120k miles is not bad at all, still a bullet proof engine. It’s such a shame people get rid of this car for a supposedly easy fix problem.
