Blower Problems - Help

[NWOhio]

We have a Showstopper blower that is approximately 7 years old.  I just lost a motor and Showstopper wants $109 for a replacement.  Has anybody ever had any luck getting a motor fixed?  I did find out that both Showstopper and Sullivans will take my blower in on trade for a new one.  What's the thinking on blowers?  Is Sullivans better than the others?  How long have blowers lasted for you?  Appreciate any experiences and insight you can share.

I would imagine both brands run the same motor I help Scott Sinnamon with Sinnamon Show Supply 100 bucks isn't bad for a motor but they are a pain to change especially the front one I have changed several motors and you basically have to totally disassemble the entire blower to change a motor
