Then dipping might be good.  You drop off, pay, and pick up.  Redi-Strip is 
nationally known and I hope OK today (they ruined the wood in my Model T 
body 32 years ago so I'd never return), but they're expensive.

Local places in this area have generally offered far better prices, with the 
added advantage of dealing with the people likely to be involved in or at 
least directly supervising the actual work.  People I know who've used some 
of the local places love them.  Redi-Strip here, in the Chicago area, is a 
bigger operation (they do lots of industrial parts) and you're unlikely to 
get any personal contact with the guys handling your car/parts/whatever.
