I've used Roy's machine and fabrication in the past and was satisfied

Zia posted local which may be your best bet.

Many of the repair shops here in SA will take your prop and have Nettle in Austin rehub. Or, you can ship your prop to them. They have rehubbed one or two of mine, I have been happy with their work and their rates are reasonable.

Was hoping to find a similar shop here.
Will call Roy's on Monday

Thanks All!

No doubt Roy's prop shop recipes all my bravos. Been in business long time for a reason. Sell props too

Called Roy's on Wednesday but they were closing for the holidays.
Called again this morning and met Ed over there at about 1:00.
About an hour later, $150 bucks, and some colorful discussion about politics, how prop hubs work, why my old one is really outdated (sounds about right Confused

), and his Dad (I think Roy) who he lost to Covid last year.
Said his dad was still rebuilding props at 86 before he passed.
Great people, good work, while I watched (and learned), a reasonable price, and not having to wait a couple of weeks for Nettle's.

Yeah, if I need this type of work done again, I'll most definitely use Roy's and Ed.

Thanks for the referral folks!
