Electric motors repairs

Is there a place repairing electric motors?

It seems my radiator fan is in great deficit in town.

try a starter alternator repair shop
i'm sure the windings aren't toast so its probably bushings or something
but if they are you can try a rewind shop

It seems to me that radiator fans on many VW's and Audi's are the same -280mm, 300W, interchangeable. The part # is the same - just the last letter gets changed between years and models - the plug is the main difference.
Average price of $60 on eBay.
The first fan (ACM) had paper sticker "Germany" on the body; This type of sticker one could produce on any printer.

yeah for the amount of trouble it would take to repair it replacing it probably would be a better bet
