Try Don's Hydraulic Services, Abbotsford, 6048507136.
Call first as he will likely be able to tell you over the phone if it's worth repairing.

I checked with a friend whose small business has a number of hydraulic jacks and he says:

a) The larger hydraulic repair operations won't touch a hydraulic jack because they can't legitimately charge you what it's worth to do the job. By the time you put the jack on the bench you're already down $100 and you haven't done anything.

b) If you're feeling ambitious and have the time, you can purchase the required seals and other materials at locations like Princess Auto.

c) In all probability the real answer is to just purchase a new one. It's probably cheaper in the long run.

Ditto on Don's Hydraulic's - I've known him for years and he will absolutely tell you if it's fixable or not. Also has used units for sale, varying inventory. Close to the track and he's usually there on Saturday's.

:D
