Back in the days of road EV conversions running forklift motors, I used to 
hear of hobbyists having those motors rewound, usually after abusing them 
on the dragstrip.  

However, I've never had much luck taking smaller motors to motor shops.  
They were focused on industrial motors and wouldn't even look at my mower 
motors.  

I did have success with auto electrics shops.  That was just bearings and 
brushes, never rewinding, though it's probably worth a try.  It may be 
expensive.
