Yup, if it isn't badly damaged, like holes distorted (FUBAR).

BTW, I've had our tandem wheel rebuilt 2 times with the same hub, about 2 or 3 front wheels on old hubs and 2 rear wheels on used hubs. Hubs are most of the time reusable if not badly damaged.

If a shop tells you diferent, they're trying to soak you for money.
