I can vouch. When I lived in Orange County, I used their services on a handful of occasions. Top notch work.

You could always recone it yourself. It's a lot like amp building, initially takes some knowledge and a little skill. But it's inexpensve and satisfying knowing the job was done right. I get recone parts from Weber.
