Any body shop should be able to replace the hinges for ya, I'm not sure about the cost though. Or, you can replace them yourself for $150 - $200 (buying the hinges from your dealer).

You can bore the holes and use larger pins, which should fix the problem. An easier, and cheaper way is to shim the hinges. The doors will still have play, but will sit at the proper height.

I know you can repair the bottom hinge, but the top one has to have the welds drilled out and the new one bolted in. GM gives you a backplate to bolt the new one on. I got mine for about $70 and have heard of GM dealers offering to replace and paint the hinges for around $150-250 per side.
