Who do you trust to work on your skis?

With Marmot gone, I'm not sure where to take them to get the work done; have not had the best experience with ProSki, at least in North Bend.
I'm on the east side, so driving them to Fremont or Ballard is not ideal, but I can do.
Suggestions?

I find REI staffing to be highly variable.
Thanks, Andrew. I'll check the WildSnow site, but my impression from the spring was that the entire heel piece has to come off the ski and the new piece installed. So either new holes drilled and the old filled, or helicoils.
And yes, agreed, I wouldn't trust REI staff to recommend batteries, much less work on a piece of critical winter mountaineering gear like skis.

If you end up deciding to do your own work (its really not that hard -- at least if you took wood shop in middle school)
Tognar Toolworks is a wonderful source of tools and materials.

Evo has done a good job with the basics for me, if you can tolerate the bro-heavy vibe.

I can't tell from reading the thread what your exact situation is, but nothing about working on your skis is rocket science and I don't trust anyone more than myself. As mentioned, everything you could ever need to learn about servicing/mounting Dynafits can be found on www.wildsnow.com
