rivnut placement in Houston

Hi. Does anyone in the Houston area know a bike shop that can cleanly do a rivnut placement for an aluminum road frame?

I've called around and most cannot; a few said they could, even though they had no idea what a rivnut is. I'm staying away from those places.

Did you want to replace a water bottle boss?

BTW. "Rivnut" is a name brand like "Xerox" or "Kleenix" ...

So, if you don't want to buy the installation tool + a bag/box of Rivet Nuts, then try asking those shops, again, if they can replace a water bottle boss that has fallen-out/loosened/whatever from your frame ... and, if they can, what will they will use.
