Personally, I'd be very cautious in seeking local sharpening services. Some may be professional, or they may be inept and all but ruin your knife. Difficult to know in advance.

Today's state-of-the-art S30V blade, for example, can be destroyed on a grinding wheel.

What you want sharpened makes all the difference. A 10-year-old Uncle Buck folder? By all means.

An expensive, custom blade...don't let it near a commercial knife sharpener.

I use a sharpening system that doesn't cost much more than $200:

It does the job, and I never have to worry about somebody else damaging my blade.
