bass repair and setup in DC

Any recommendations on repair in the DC area? I live in Charles Town, WV about 25 minutes from Frederick MD. I have a couple of things I've been putting off because I've had such terrible luck with repairmen in the past. I can do small things, but on the bigger items I'd like to find someone qualified that I can trust. i'd love to drop my bass off and get it back unscratched.

Thanks.

When was the last time you were there? I took my amp in three years ago and it came back still not working (it shut off after about 30 minutes of playing), [edited out the details, suffice to say I was not happy].

I love the guys at atomic music and can't say enough good about them. I buy and sell there about 99% of the time, but wouldn't take anything to their repair shop.
