In Tucson area, I'd recommend Chirco.
In Phoenix, I'd recommend Wedge. West Phoenix and East Valley: no recommendation.
Machine work: European Auto Machine on 24th Street
Realize that I've done 99% of my own maintenance and repairs on mine for 5 decades.

Well, maybe you can make a couple $$ if the op is in the Phoenix area.
He's only looking for a consultation.

No thanks.
I've actually helped 4 Samba members hands-on, two were positive interactions, the other two way more trouble than it was worth. And no charge.
