Default Bad vibration damper?

Eh...so I just found out the vibration damper on the car needs to be replace. Noticed a slight wobble in the crank pulley and had my shop (I work at a dealer) diagnose it for me - 4.5 hours but the part is only $40.

How does a vibration damper go bad? Seems to be in a place where it would be very difficult to get dinged by anything. Also, how worried should I be about about the rest of the motor? The car runs great - no misses or noticeable vibration...just a bit concerned now.

Lastly, anyone in the Tampa area know of a good shop to do the work? My tech said he wasn't all together comfortable with the install (comforting).

Thanks again to everyone for their help

After calling some local Chevy dealerships I may just be paranoid. Spoke with one "Corvette specialist" who said they all wobble a bit and as long as the car didn't miss not to worry about it. "Keep your money" - when's the last time you heard a dealer tell you that

Anyone else have the same issue?
