A mac repair shop said that by spilling water on my 16" MacBook Pro, it's fried. I need to recover the data off of its SSD -- where can I find a quality service that will safely remove my SSD from the laptop and install in an enclosure to use as a drive?

And the "mac repair shop" hands this back to you..(?) Their advise is a bit suspect.
What happened to your backups:
3-2-1 Backup Strategy: three copies of your data, two different methods, and one offsite.
You will need to contact the Apple Support for data recovery from a soldered SSD in MacBook Pro. An Apple store is the last hope if you want to recover data from a dead or water damaged MacBook that has a T2 chip.
You can read more about Intel Macs with the T2 chip and all solder compents.
