While I didn't had a Rollei in service with them (but a Minolta SRT and a Pentax 645): Another vote for Service Caméra Pro.

Are his prices reasonable? How's his turnaround time? I need the shutter in my Rolleicord looked at... speeds slower than 1/30th not reliable. Thanks!

The Pentax 645 was $275+tax 2 years ago done by Rene, the Minolta SRT last year was $175+tax and done by his colleague Normand. This one arrived back with a minor issue, which they fixed fast. And some other work, not full CLA on an Agfa Ambi Silette was $125+tax, by Rene.
I have the feeling Rene is doing the more complex or rare models, but not sure. With him it took about 2 months, Normand faster (shipped these two last year together).

They are open only Tuesday to Thursday. Call before you ship to them.

My Pentax 6x7 got a complete overhaul for $350+tax by René, it took two months, early 2022.

Factory Camera in Vancouver did a CLA on my MX-EVS. 2 month turn around. Very reasonable rates. Great guy to deal with.

So it will meet my Zeiss Jena Biotar 80/2.8 for Praktina which they just received today, to unblock the focus ring...

Sorry for a late response. I think it was three weeks and aboutv$200.
