I have a some JDM reels ( antares DC, scorpions, speedmasters ) that are in need of servicing. I was told that shimano will not service them, where else?
Give Hi's tackle a call in San Fran. They can service JDM stuff now. I had them do a few reels a while back. Since they can stock JDM, they can also get parts if they need them during repairs.
Try them. Otherwise, there's no one who does it under warranty.
