Collar Check
$95 / ~35 min
Measure bore, ferrule OD, and adapter stack. You leave with a written call: recollar, reseat, recut, or leave it alone. The $95 comes off a Sleeve Swap if you book that job the same week.

Prices are for shop time and the joint, not for a new head. Adapters and ferrules are billed at cost on the ticket. A Full Bore credits $60 if you later restem the same head within sixty days.

Hold a collar checkReseat
$185 / pour + morning
Pull, clean, clock, epoxy, recollar, and next-day torque on an adapter that still has a round wall. Humidity hold is included when the cabinet says so.
Hold a sleeve swapRecut
$320 / recut + set
When the wall is oval or a garage through-drill needs to be made honest. Includes consult on bore-through versus tip-in, recut, and a proper film. Not a same-day job.
Hold a full borePlumber, slant, or flow-neck restem on a neck that still has meat. Conversion between neck styles is a separate conversation and often a no.
When you drop a head after 2:00 PM and the cabinet is already fat. The hold is the honest path. Skipping it is how sleeves walk on the first humid fairway.
8:00 to noon only. Inspect and recollar, no structural pours. If the wall needs a recut, we park it for Monday. This is not a leftover weekday Sleeve Swap stuffed into a short morning.
