I'm looking for a place to get my Matco torque wrench calibrated, anyone know of a place in the CIncy area?

Everyone keeps tellingh me to get in touch with Matco, but from prior experience I have found that the tool truck companies could give a damn about you if you don't work at a shop they deal with. Regardless i emailed Matco and am waiting for a response.

I have found no real evidence of a place that calibrates torque wrenches for the public in the Cincy area. Matco told me to send it to their warranty repair center in WV, everyone seems to consider it more of a repair which seems odd as much as they are supposed to actually be calibrated. I did find a place in North Dakota that will calibrate any torque wrench you send in for $25, you just have to ship it to them. I forget the website addy, but it came up on a google search.

I'm just gonna use this Matco as is. It can't be *that* off and I'm not doing anything too major. If I was putting a bottom end together yeah I'd have it calibrated.
