Unless you have an existing relationship with the maker,
or have one of "their cues" in need of repair,
it might be difficult to find a cue maker with time enough to cater to basic repair requests;
like installing a new tip.
If you need something major done, or want a new matching shaft-
that's when a cue maker is essential!
If you just need a tip replaced, and shaft and ferrule cleaned up,
then it's best to visit a local repair person.
I only have 1 person out here in my area that's allowed to touch my property;
that isn't the cue maker personally.
But, I'd trust this guy with any basic shaft repair!
Some of his clean up work has been nicer than the original makers work.
I believe Billiard's Plaza is going to be your best bet. Strictly for convenience sake.
