Locally, I would think that any camera repair shop would be able to clean your sensor.
You might also try your hand at cleaning it yourself. I confess I have not done this, I just got my DSLR last November.

MEMcD Nikonian since 24th Dec 2007Mon 20-Feb-12 08:24 PMHi Paul,
I hope you were using a Giottos Rocket Blower or equal and not a blower brush to clean your sensor.
First the brush bristles can damage the low pass filter above the sensor and two, a blower brush will not be able to move enough air to clean the sensor.
In addition to Repair stations, there are many camera shops that clean sensors as well.
Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!Best Regards,
Marty

You have probably had your sensor cleaned by now, but I had the same problem with my D 50. "OUT, damned spot!"
I bought a cleaning kit from an ebay seller, and, with great trepidation, cleaned it myself. It worked, and I now can clean my own sensor, saving me some $$.
Not for everyone,I know, but an option to consider for next time.

I cleaned mine myself and it was quite easy. I just use the rocket blower now once and a while.
