I actually live really close to the only bike shop (that I know of) in the county (that isn't Dicks Sporting Goods). I've gone there a few times for simple parts (break pads, tubes), but I'm thinking it's time to bring it in for a tune up. Downside is, and as silly as it sounds, that guy I find intimidating.
Which is DOUBLE silly since his community efforts are laudable. He takes disenfranchised kids to BMX events and things like that. I've been told the various kids hanging about his shop from time to time are the same, and he looks after them since most come from broken homes.
