Several shop owners do decent fittings... try Robert Kahler at Santiago Cyclery (Tustin) or Jim at Sand Canyon Cycles (Irvine).
I've been fitted several times and my favorite fitting, the one I still use, was done by Mark who used to work at Two Wheeler Dealer in Brea. If you give them a call they might have his number. He will travel to your place.
If you are willing to pay some cash for a truly professional fitting, try John Howard in San Diego. Howard, a world class cyclist, does fittings at his facility. See johnhowardsports.com.

FWIW, I just came back from Surf City Cyclery (again!) and found that they do professional fittings. Something about "Body Geometry Fit Certification" and Andy Pruitt. (?)
I know you said this area's far, just wanted to put it out there...

The experience was overall very pleasant and informative, I will go back for a follow-up session which is included in the price.

I was helped by Randy Ice, who founded S.C.O.R. and the Solvang Century. Do not know where he is now.
Brea perhaps?
