Can anyone recommend a reel repair shop, preferably in the East Bay?  I have a Bass Pro Shops low profile off-shore reel that really needs a good cleaning and tune-up and it's beyond my skill set and comfort level to take it on myself.  I don't think it needs any parts; just a good cleaning and lubrication.

Thanks,

Martin

I use Alan Tani....He's in Saratoga. Done wonders for the three I have sent him. I had a small abu tuned, cleaned and new drag washers for $30ish

I had a few bad experiences with reel repair, but not with Alan Tani.  The reels come back oh so sweet!
