Err.. Shutter Problem!

THE last time I clicked on my Nikon D300, it created two exposures. Image left, shows a shutter malfunction and at the LCD shows ERR for error  every time I press the shutter release button. Most of the time it wont click or lucky, if you have three successful frames before error occur. A have a friend encountered the same error but on a different Nikon body, Nikon D60. It happens with the D3 and Canon DLSRs. It is a shutter actuation game over even my cam just shot 25k.  I've browsed the internet to find solution to this dilemma. And I'm searching for the cheapest. 
   Let's face it! Nikon service center will charge you Php9k up to get the shutter run good. Man, that's tight. The last time I brought my Nikon F SLR (a film camera) and make Nikon replace its shutter, it cost me Php4,500 for each shutter, and that was in 2003. Some friends from photography forums suggested Mang Ady Balce.  In my search, Mang Ady never advertise himself, people recommend him through word of mouth or blogs. Google his name and you'll see everything about him.

Shutter and mirror didn't synchronized. 
22 years in service
Mang Ady is a camera and lens technician, repairman, handyman... name it! He's the MacGyver of cameras. He is fixing cameras for 22 years and counting. Mang Ady woked with Fuji Film Quiapo and now working solo.  I had my fingers crossed and let him fix my precious D300.  I told him "do whatever you can to save my cam or else it will I'll make it paper weight". To make it short, I brought it Wednesday got it Saturday and payed Php2,500. You can even have a chance to chit chat with him and other photographers who come and see Mang Ady to have their gears fixed.
