X2 on Shimano - Almost all my reels are Shimano and the ones I use most I rotate sending them back for cleaning and service every few years. They do a great job and never once have I had them charge me for any of the parts they replace.
The one thing to note is timing - call Shimano customer service and find out what the current turn-time is on repairs. Depending on season, it can be awhile.
At this link they have a list of reels they still service / have all parts for:

I also second giving Dave at Reel Seat a call - great shop with great guys and great service.
