I've used North Coast in Carlsbad Ca. for years. I know the owner Richard Shute since my drag racing days when he photographed our race cars for prints.
I actually have 4 rolls of 120 at their shop right now for E-6 processing.

LTI Lightside in NYC has a mail order form and a link to create a mailing label on their website.
Old School Photo Lab in New Hampshire is also good, I send infrared films to them.
LTI Lightside in NYC is very good but specializes in BW only, no color. I've also used North Coast Photo in Carlsbad CA which process both color and BW. For another dollar or two, they will cut the film and insert them into plastic sheets for protection and to keep the film flat. I stopped getting 120 rolls back from processors because they wind up bending to the roll making it hard to handle afterward.
I often use Northeast Photographics in Bath, Maine: https://www.northeastphotographic.com
Another excellent lab is Praus Productions in Rochester, NY: https://www.4photolab.com
Dwayne's in Parsons, Kansas, has developed C-41 135 film for me, but they certainly will do 120: https://www.dwaynesphoto.com
Another vote for DIY. I spent so much money sending film out it was crazy. Turns out 120 film is easier to load onto a reel than 35mm, and by doing it myself I learned how much difference your choice of developer makes. A lot!
The initial cost of chemicals, a thermometer and developing tank was minimal, and the work involved was even less. Especially if you use the bathroom like I do to load the reels instead of a change bag. For $100, you can buy a nice developing tank, chemicals and lots of film.
I use this cheapo Wolverine F2D 20 Super film scanner below for proof scans, it's really fast and really cheap. If you shoot color, then I'd send it out. I've been developing my own B&W film for a couple of decades, color requires more exacting temps and stuff.

I've used Dwayne's ever since I did my "year of farewell to Kodachrome" in 2010 after buying up a bunch at scalper prices as I heard about the discontinuance too late to get it regular retail. I've sent them plenty of C41 and E6. Never had a problem with the negatives or prints or E6, and they return mounted slides for 35mm E6 too unless you request otherwise (or did last time I sent them a roll.)
I shot about ten rolls of 36 exposure Kodak UltraColor in Moab and the red rock areas and Dwaynes made all the red rock green as though it was grass. I had to send all the film and prints back at my cost to reprint ever single photograph. I have never used them since.
Wow! Thanks to all for your feedback. Glad to have options as I re-enter film photography. LTI and Northeast Photographics sound like good places to start since I’m living n the northeas.
I’ll also think of doing b&w myself at some point since I used to develop panatomic-x and plus-x in the mid 70s.
again, my thanks to all!
Hi actually LTI will process C41, just not E6. I like to use them also, they give me a discount as a long time repeat customer.

an aquarium heater is the cheapest solution.
