Any recommendations for 223 / 5.56 brass prep services?

I have several thousand pieces of once-fired brass that I'd like to get processed for AR-15 use and am looking for recommendations.

Arthritis in my hands has made this a less than pleasant exercise.

Thanks for your input.

In your case I would consider two options assuming you are either a recreational and / or defensive rifle shooter and you are speaking strictly about "prep" not reloading.

1. Sale the brass - "blasting" economy ammo rivals the cost of reloading today with the cost and lack of supply of components.

2. Cases for the aforementioned purposes do not require a lot of prep. Aside from cleaning them in a tumbler, I would see no need to deburr flash holes, or uniform pockets. All I would do as far a prep is chamfering the inside and outside of the necks. Several of the auto tools on the market designed for this purpose would significantly reduce the stress on your hands. The only other "prep" function that might be necessary is trimming. Again, this can be automated but if you measure the chamber length, you may not even have to trim the cases.
 
Thanks to all for your replies. I appreciate it!

K22 has made a good point that should be clarified. I'm looking for basic brass prep only (full length sized, primer crimp removed, gauged, trimmed and tumbled).

Keep 'em coming.
