Local shock rebuild?

I tried searching but came up short....is there any shop locally that can do a rear shock rebuild? I have a 2014 Fox Float CTD w/Kashima. Its only 6 months old but has begun leaking at the seal and makes a squeaking sound when riding, my hope is it just needs a new seal kit. Would rather pay someone locally and not have to send it off to Fox. Thanks.

Just needs an air sleeve service kit. Pick one up at the LBS and watch a youtube vid they are super easy.

Air sleeve services we can do.  Internal damper/oil service better to contact Suspension Experts in Asheville. Smiley

Bike Source in Charlotte will do seals and shocks and I have always gotten good service and advice from them.  In general though, as others have said, the video documentation by Fox online is very good and easy to follow and the seal kits are cheap online.  You can save some $$$ setting a night aside and doing it yourself.  Keep your work area clean and lighted and your tools organized and you'll be alright!
