    I think it has gotten very had to find someone to do that type of work. This you already know. I do know that there are places that still do this. Where I do not know. Even the little shop here that has been in biz as long as I can remember will not re-arch them. Seems they will add a leaf though.

    Well, now we know why re-arching services are disappearing.

    I was the one talking to a place about having my springs re-arched because by the time I have my new ones shipped to me I am looking at about the same price Canadian as I would American.... its only like a 30 min drive from where I live. Gonna cost me approx. 200 Canadian to have them re-arched, have them add a leaf and also remove and install them.... since I have lost the use of a hoist it makes it alot easier to have somebody else do this.....
