I have a car with a bolt for the intake manifold broken off in the head that needs to be removed. I'd really like to find a place that can remove the bolt without the need to remove the head or better yet, can come to my garage and do it so I don't have to figure out how to move the entire car. Any recommendations for a machine shop?

edit: The good part is that access to the area is great, and there are no broken easy-outs in there.

Crap. Removing the head on one of these cars is a nightmare and the engine block always needs helicoils for the head bolts, so I'll probably have a go at drilling it out and tapping for something slightly larger on my own.
