You can expedite it through the passport office without using a service. They are saying

ROUTINE SERVICE
As of ( Monday August 9, 2010 ), we are processing routine applications in approximately 4-6 weeks from the time of application.

EXPEDITED SERVICE*
As of ( Monday August 9, 2010 ), we are processing requests for expedited service, that include overnight delivery to and from the Passport Agency, about 2-3 weeks door-to-door*.

Anything more than getting it off to them tomorrow or Wednesday or I'd be considering using a service to handle it or if one is nearby an appointment at a passport office.
