When I was less experienced at bike mechanics, I took my early 1980s Raleigh Super Grand Prix to my LBS when I had problems with chain and shifting. I was pleased with their work. They replaced rear derailleur and chain, and even adjusted my headset without my asking. Maybe give them a try. The only other time I've used LBS after high school was when I broke a spoke (stick got between spokes and slammed into seat stays), and they did a good job then too.
