Where to get my brakes bled on a Saturday? (Bay Area)

I need to get my brakes professionally bled (suspect that I have air in the MBC when I left the calipers off for too long during the swap) but can't find time on weekdays to do it. I was gonna try AutoHQ, but heard that Kevin is out of town.

Any recommended places to get it done around the Bay Area on weekends? Specifically, East Bay, South Bay, or the Peninsula.

I have done it myself. Even have the vacuum tool to suck out fluid from the caliper bleeder. Done this 2 or 3 times and taking it out on the road in between. It just doesn't brake as it should. I suspect there's air bubbles in the MBC, which requires either a shop tool to suck fluid out from the MBC or have the MBC taken out and bench bleed it. I'd rather bring it to the shop cuz I've already wasted 2 or 3 liters of the ATE Blue fluid...
