How bad are your carbs?
You may wish to consider a less solution first: Sea Foam. All I can say is that **** works! I believe the instructions are 1 oz. of Sea Foam for every gallon (not litre) of fuel in your tank. Best way of doing it is find out what the total capacity (incl. reserve) of your tank is and add the appropriate amount of product. Then fill the tank up with 91 or 94 octane fuel and then go ride through that tank of fuel. Instructions for use are here: http://www.seafoamsales.com/how-to-use-sea-foam-motor-treatment.html#nogo
Buy it for $12 from Canadian tire: http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/4/Auto/3/AutoFluidsChemicals/FuelTreatments/PRD~0387800P/Seafoam+Motor+Treatment.jsp?locale=en
Its a heck of a lot cheaper than a carb cleaning and I'm not the only one who swears by it: http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforu...ile-you-wait&p=1554484&viewfull=1#post1554484
That said if you still need some recommendations for a shop then I'm sure you'll get some soon.

Varsol and brake cleaner. That worked for me. But you'll need one strand of wire from a wire brush to clean the jets. I did it myself. It gives u a great feeling of accomplishment. I'm pretty sure your carbs arent as bad as mine were. My carbs haven't been touched since we bought the bike in 2000. And it was sitting with gas in it for well over 5 years. Bro didn't drain the tank. 
Rosey Toes comes very highly recommended on this forum. http://www.profilecanada.com/compan...0191_Rosey_Toes_Motorcycles_Inc_North_York_ON
You may not need to clean the carbs as much as you may need a carb sync and valve adjustment.
