Default Old-timer looking for mechanic help with maintenance and paint correction, central ohio

Its been a while. I bought my BB new in 02 and it has been sitting unloved for a few years. I have a garage with some other toys that have occupied my time but want to get the old girl back to her pagent glory. I m looking for a local mechanic willing to travel to my place in plain city to do full fluids, trans, diff, radiator, brake job, ?belts, ? hoses and another person interested in cash work for real detailing(paint correction) not nu finish in a bottle. I have a lift and tools i just don't have the time to wrench like i used to and don't have much time to take it in. I can pay cash. also needed is a paint correction guy. much appreciated for leads.

How many miles and when was it last run or even started? I ain't your guy but that info is pretty vital before turning the engine over. Most of that stuff is pretty easy other than the fuel system. Tank and fuel system full of old fuel I'm guessing? I've heard it resembles turpentine more than gasoline.

What about the detailing? I am from the Columbus area and would be interested in getting the outside of my car professionally detailed!
