Is there anywhere in San Antonio that I can take my CB and antenna on a weekend to get tuned? I have no idea how to do it l, no interest in doing it. I want to take it to a professional so it is done correctly and perfectly. I'm a pilot/escort vehicle driver. It is imperative that I'm able to communicate narrow bridges and clear lanes for the load.

Can't help you but you might try looking up "electronics repair shops" in San Antonio and see what pops up.

However even if you have no interest in doing it you might want to learn. It is a simple thing to pick up a SWR meter and do it yourself. Back in the 70's when CB were all the rage I could tune a antenna in less than 5 minutes.

I know nothing about San Antonio, but I sure know radio. A local Ham Radio club can set you straight.
Tuning an antenna is EASY. Longer = LOWER frequency, Shorter = HIGHER frequency.
Cut or adjust length for minimum SWR. Buy a cheap SWR bridge online.
If you want to come to my driveway in NYC, I'll do it for free!

I was tempted to write something similar but the OP specifically ruled out DIY solutions. In this case its way too simple - the cost of an SWR meter will be less than the cost of paying someone to do the work. I would add that for close range (pilot truck) work antenna tuning probably doesn't matter. Radio problems are more often dirty connections or bad power. We had a simple rule: If you can't hear me, clean your antenna connections; If I can't hear you, check your power connections.

Try San Antonio Radio Club. It's a ham radio club and they'll know how to tune your antenna. At the frequencies you'll be working with (CB radio band frequencies) trim your antenna in small increments if you have to trim it, ¼" at a time.

We all made a big assumption.
Original poster wanted to know where to get his radio tuned. Chances are, NOTHING needs adjustment at all! Try it first.

Of it ain't broke, don't fix it!
