We have at least two hydraulic repair shops nearby. Neither one advertises - or even has a sign out front. I'd guess a person finds them like I did, by asking at the local construction equipment or rental shop. Those places get their cylinders rebuilt somewhere. We are rural, so "nearby" means within an hour drive.
Or it may be that hydraulic shops are on that list of dwindling small repair businesses that used to be in every town. They were mostly one-person businesses that required low startup costs, minimal tools, low rent shop space, and provided a minimal income for a couple of people at most.
Little businesses like welding shops, small machine shops, auto electric (generator & starter rebuid) shops, radiator repair, electric motor rewinding, automotive tune up, AC repair, leather & shoe shops, sharpening shops, watch repair, used tool shops- and more.
