Are the plates used in the boring,honing or both operations? "Machine shops" around here don't/won't use plates, not even if I buy it. They say all you need to do is "torque down the bolts under a stack of washers, if I want to go to the trouble". I am still looking for a machine shop!
and keep looking untill you find one that won't do it without the plate and Performance Only come's to my mind, since he seem's to be in your part of the country.
