He is one of the best camera repairman I know and is very reasonable in his prices. A CLA for a M6 will probably cost somewhere around EUR100-150. Unless of course there is really something wrong. When Doing a CLA he can upgrade your finder to a non flare version for a few Euro's more. I'm not sure were you live but sending a camera is not that expensive. On the other hand when you are in te USA there are several other options. People mentioned here are DAG and Sherry Krauter. But other members might have more suggestions.
