How to find a mechanic?

Hi all, looking to buy a bus soon and I'd like to get it serviced in the same city I buy it before driving it home. The bus has an International engine and an Allison transmission. What's the best way to find a mechanic to do general maintenance on this bus? Do I need to find a place that has International and Allison-certified techs, or can I take it to any place capable of doing truck work? I'm assuming I'll need an oil change, fluid check, and bearings/joints greased at the bare minimum.

Thanks!

Basic maintenance like that can be handled by any competent truck shop.
