Any good small engine shop should be able to service it.
Your title says repair but your post says tune up, yet I’d presume it needs work, as in something’s wrong.
If you haven’t tried it, I’d put a new plug in it, dump the fuel in it, if it’s over a couple months old or regular gas. Throw in some Shell Premium which has no ethanol (alcohol), and if it was still running rough, or not at all, I’d try some Seafoam.
Carb adjust / tune next if you feel up to the task. Next would be a carb overhaul kit, yet depending on the shop cost and my schedule I’d consider taking it in at that point.
Taking things to a shop is my last resort, yet I’ve ruined a good number of things in the past to be confident I can get it done, or know when to quit.
With the internet now a days, you can learn how to give yourself brain surgery, yet if you have the money and don’t have the time or desire a good shop is the way to go.
Personally, the older the shop and guys working there are, the more likely I am to bring my business there.
I have a buddy in the Hat and I’ll see if he has a recommendation.

Lens Tool Repair in the light Industrial area, They replaced a diaphragm and tuned up my old jiffy 30. I can recommend them.
