I don't no a repair man, but when my level wind acts up on me, I just bring it down to the local tackle shop and they fix it up for me.

There's also Russ at Stryker Rod and Reel in Surrey, Kevin at Express Reel Service in Chilliwack. If you cannot go outside of Maple Ridge/Mission, the best option would be to bring it to a tacklestore, which will ship the reel to one of these repair services for you.

I would suggest Ken at Express Reel Service as he donated a lot to the recent Steelhead Derby. Its always good to support those who support you.
