Hi everyone!

Say, does anyone know of someone reputable that does maintenance on higher
end reels? I have a couple Shimano Sustains that need bearing upgrades
and basically gone thru to get ready for the season. I would like the
reassurance that they are actually a business too and not an individual
working out of there living room, a website maybe would help. I guess
what I'm saying is that if I send my reels somewhere, I want to KNOW that
I"ll get them back.

No one in my area does any reel repair except one guy, I don't think he
does much but squirt oil around the external parts that's it. I took a
reel to him for the same problem 3 different times and I know he never
cracked the case. I used white lithium grease normally myself, and before
I took the reel to him the 3rd time, I put a drop of blue grease in the
crank case and it was still there upon return and he assured me he redid
the whole thing for a 3rd time. No way.......

Anyway, if anyone has an rec's, I would be interested!

Thanx,

Doug
