Default Getting servos fixed

I recently had my savox throttle servo go out. I have had this servo for a few years (as the receipt states). I contacted Savox to see what their story is about servicing this servo. Their statement was "they only do warranties". Warranties meaning any servo purchased within a year.

What a bummer. My question is how do I go about fixing this. Sorry forgot to mention it is something electronic. The servo is locked to one position.

Are servos now just a dime a dozen? Do you just toss them out like old AAs when they have had their day?

I am still a little stunned that there was no resolution on the phone and here I sit with buying a new servo.

Any thought; on what servo to buy for 1/8th scale nitro throttle and steering servo (for buggy & Truggy)
- something with a service plan. Keep me committed with some support. Or is the RC companies changing their moto to the rest of the world. "Make cheap stuff and lots of it. So when it breaks it's cheap to replace". Not if you are replacing it all the time.
- something that doesn't lead my wife on that I have an addiction. We are talking price
- something durable.

What's everyone using (throttle & steering; be specific)?
How long have you been running it for with no problems?
