 Honsu  does them 

Think he's called real smooth on face book 

He's done a few Stella's for me no problems

We highly recommend Brett for all reel servicing here in Broome.
We were sending our gear back to Shimano however we weren’t satisfied with the quality of their workmanship & it was costly sending them to the Eastern states.
With this in mind we decided to send our Stella 10000 & 20000, Calcutta 400 and Thunus 4000 to Brett and all were returned in perfect condition. They feel as good. He has the passion and know how.
Thanks Brett

I gueess that my clients are spoiled because I don't punch a time clock.

Not saying that Shimano hiccups are the norm but it's not unusual to get the odd boomerang.

Read my facebook page for a couple of recent examples.

Their current parts manager even gave me a like after I gave them the heads-up on an important  parts alteration coming out of the Shimno factory that got by them.
