OIL CHANGE etc ON REAR SHOCK

Hi,
I've got a 1997 Marin "Mount Vision" & on the back is the stock Fox shock with a 20% softer spring. The oil is now worn out & needs replacing.
While the shock comes with 12 clicks on the rebound damping as one might expect those don't correspond with what I need. For dirt use I'd like equivalent to 7 & 1/3rd clicks & for road use equivalent 10 & 1/3 rd click. So I'd like some thicker oil so I can get to "nail it on the head" @ 7 or 10 clicks .
So I'm looking for somewhere I can get a VALUE FOR MONEY service where they know what they're doing sufficient to give it what service it needs & fine tune the shock so I can get it to perform that bit better. ( BTW I live in Sheffield though that probably makes little difference )
Any recommendations & any clues as to how much it might cost? - TIA
Cheers,
Jim

TF Tuned, one of the best companies to deal with (not just bike related) by far. Will be around £100.
Which reminds me, I need to send one of my shocks off.Santa Cruz 5010C

2nd vote for TFT.
To be fair, they all charge much the same price but I had a really good experience with TFT this year.
They will also take calls and happily answer any questions."Ride, crash, replace"0
