Preferably a 'good' dry cleaners.
I've had mine repair my shooting range bag, laptop bag, backpacks, and other
such things. Some repairs didn't look so hot, though that wasn't an issue
to me.
Shop around. A good shop will tell you exactly what they're going to do and
what materials they'll use.

What he said. I had a decent dry cleaner put in clips and such to allow
me to attach my leather jeans to my jacket, and I've used them to repair
zips before now, as well.

If you don't know what you're doing, don't do it. And RTFM.

If it's just the slider you can get a package of sliders at any good fabric
shop for ten bucks or so. I found a set at Jo-Ann Fabrics.
Here's a youtube video showing how to replace a slider:

Thanks. The video was great. Didn't know it was so easy.
