Was gonna try red dot, as the camera was totally fine until now (although my granddad had mentioned a sticky shutter). Hopefully doesn't need anything special done to it.

red dot on old street? I don't really have anything specific to complain about, I just didn't like the vibe I got. hard to place, but y'know when you feel like you regret going somewhere? it was years ago too. I got my M3 serviced there and as far as the service goes I have no complaints - there was nothing wrong with it just lubricant gunked up and needed a clean. just seemed... dunno. a bit patronising/snooty/pushy. I'd choose to go somewhere else (not trying to put you off - the service itself seemed fine, just oversharing...)

Not a first hand recommendation as I've not had mine serviced yet, but I was recommended aperture on rathbone place for my iii.
They charge £120 for leica service & £200 for shutter replacement.
Red dot are loads cheaper though... £80 for a service.
