Regardless of how you get it to the shop, make SURE that they don't just slap a head gasket on it! It very possibly has a corrosion problem allowing a leak between combustion chamber and water jacket. A competent machine shop will pressure test the head and if such a problem exists, they can weld it up. They should also do a thorough valve job including valve guide attention while the head is off. Failure to do this equates to a band aid repair.
