Tommy,
Your story isnt that uncommon. The guy i goto to have a new tip put on my cue, frequently gets guy's who drive 45mins to sometimes 2hrs, just to have a new tip or ferrule put on thier cue, cuz he does such a damn good job!
Now the guy I goto lives in Michigan, and there are other guys who can replace a tip in the general area, but one of the guys, If he has 10 or 15 cue's to put a new tip on and he only feels like doing 9 of them for the week, since he only does them one day of the week, you get to wait another week.
The other guys, it all depends on if they are working at the time, or are in the pool hall. But the guy I goto has a lathe too, and does all the tips the same, he trim's them up nice and marks the bottom of the tip with a razor so if he pops off a tip he can tell if its one that he has done.
This guy has also, told me of several of the regulars who travel from Indiana, because nobody down there has a lathe or portable tip replacer, or if they do, they've made a Picasso outa thier ferrule or tip when it was done lol.
So yes, doing a top notch job, does go along way for getting repeat business.
