I don't know of a specific rebuilder to recommend (I know they are out there, but I haven't had to have anything rebuilt since our local guy retired), but along the lines of what Mark suggested, you could look in the NDC roster (if you haven't received one yet, you should soon) and see if there are any local DeSoto owners to send an email to for recommendations that are close enough for you to drop it off. I think the last time I had one rebuilt (about 10 years ago), it was around $100-150 if I recall correctly.
