I just recently discovered that the focus ring on my 50mm Summicron is nearly locked. It can't be adjusted with one hand anymore. There is stiff spot right on the center of the focus range. The camera lives in a messenger bag wrapped in a towel and it goes everywhere with me, everyday. The bag has been dropped and the UV filter is dented in. Yesterday I discovered another dent on the filter and now the focus ring is pretty much frozen. I called Leica in NY and they gave me the 800 number for the repair facility in New Jersey. Has anyone dealt with them? I'm curious about customer service and pricing & if anyone knows of any other reputable place in the US that they could recommend. Thanks in advance.

Many members have dealt with Leica NJ including me. They are OK. It might take a while for your lens to come back though. There's a large number of threads devoted to independent repair technicians on the forum, use the search engine with a small number of keywords and you'll find them.
