How often do you service your reels?

Speaking of which can anyone recommend an excellent place for Shimano services in Brisbane QLD?

Ben, I've used Duncan from D and H reel repairs and been very happy with his work. Very reasonable on $$$ too. He stripped my 4500 Saltiga in front of me in about 2 mins. He got it running a mile better than the , ahem, technicians at Daiwa. He knows his stuff!

Mark Harris:
I agree with Warwick here - a noisy retrieve on a Stella is so often the line roller bearing. I have had those go on several Stellas and Twinpowers and it makes for a very noisy retrieve.

Scott Maybury:
I don't service them...but Shimano does about once a year  ;D My bigger reels don't see that much use but it means that I know every time I pick one up to go on a trip it will be in good nick and smooth
