Probably not, full service bike retailers are barely viable businesses in today's world.

This not a market segment that respects and pays for high levels of technical expertise and precision as a rule.
The dentist who only takes his Porsche to the dealer for oil changes will exhibit no such "cost is no object" for working on his Pinnalized or Speciarello. For everyone "it's just a bicycle" is the mindset so shop rates are low-balled.

If you need a hobby donate your time to a co-op and walk away when you get annoyed and or bored.
