Default Automotive Machine Shop Needed

I was wondering if anyone had a good experience with a machine shop in NoVa.

I have a full set of brembos waiting to be tossed on, but one of the rears has some damage to the first few threads in the main mounting holes. Like someone tired to use the wrong size bolt. Not too major, but I don't wanna force the screw in. I guess I need to get those first few threads sanded down and can use the remaining threads. Anyone know a place that can do this?
Is that safe still?

- Thanks, I just spit soda on my laptop. Tap and Dye set should fix it if the threads aren't too far gone, as far as safety goes.... stopping is way overrated anyway.
