Shimano Australia.

Unqualified repairs and mods can result in your warranty being void.

Your local tackleshop should be able to organise it for you.

You can either get your local tackle shop to organize it or you can download the servicing form from the shimano Australia website which has the details regarding where to send it

Local tackle shop is out. Wouldnt trust them to touch my oldest Jarvis Walker combo.

I usually send my reels down to Bluewater in Perth Brad. Has a few shops with guys that specialise in certain reels so maybe a call to the Scarborough shop to find out where is best.

But if you are going to post you might be better just going straight to Shimano.

I'd just go straight to Shimano, my dealings with a 3rd party haven't been too great.
