What do you need from the setup? The basics are very easy.
It's Really hard - at least in my area in NY - to find a responsible person to do a setup. Most people doing setups are hacks in a music store that are glad to take your money, let your bass sit in the store for a month, and then rush a hack setup when it's finally time to get the bass out of the store.
If you really don't want to do it, and you find an Expert you're willing to pay for, then I guess go for it. But definitely don't just take it to a music store. Odds are they are incapable of doing a job better than you.
People here could walk you through it, if you wanted to take the plunge.
As for practical advice for finding a good person in your area - go get copies of the music papers. [the ones that are usually free and advertise bars and bands.] In a paper like that, you have a shot at finding a local competent guitar tech.
