You need to find a reputable independent shop and buy the fan from parts shop, or a good independent shop will have their own parts sources for more reasonable prices. Either that or; drive it to Florida to get Steve to fix it, or wait 'til Spring and get Donnie do it when they have the grand opening<g>.

Good luck,
