Default Coilover servicing (Mods please leave here)

I have Apex coilovers & one requires servicing (after hitting a mother of pot holes today)
Who carries this out, Any recomendations ?? & anyone local to staffordshire, What sort of money should i expect to pay ???

It has started to leak Oil past the damper rod.

Thanks

forget it mate, I tried to get a set of 4 done by RC and they said they had to go to Japan, freight cost was going to be around £400 with the same for servicing.

I just got my Ledas rebuilt for £235 all in.

Leda rebuilt my Ledas. You may be able to get it done actually, as My problem with the Cuscos were I had inserts in them, which needed replacing complete. As yours are probably strippable you may find a specialist that can rebuild them. I would recommend the UK importer of Ohlins may be able to help you as they are used to doing rally rebuilds, and I am sure I have heard of someone in the Uk that rebuilds Proflex.
