i am guessing that since they want to send it out, then there are not prop repair people around you. you could look in some of the other regional places and call them about the repair.

i have taken my props to prop doctor in denver, have used a place in Salt Lake City also, but don't remember their name, i will see if i can get it.

could you just ask your dealer who they are sending it to and if they would recommend anyone else?
