Well, I had my BC and Regs in the shop for the annual service and to get a valve on the bc replaced (factory recall). I get a letter in the mail yesterday and its a promotion from another dive shop. Wonder how they got my name? Well, they bought out my normal dive shop. The people that is taking it over, I did not care for at there other shop. So I went down to check on the gear nothing had been done to the equipment since Dec. 14. OK. Now it gets good. I go ahead and pick up the equipment because I dont have a good feeling about the people working on the equipment. Probably nothing but I go by my feelings. Since this shop is so close to home I asked how much the air fills would be now. Well they went from $4 old shop prices to $7 new shop prices. Come on now $7 for a air fill. Any way there is another shop about 20 miles away that have very good people and a good rep. Ive been wanting to switch over to them but wanted to support my old dive shop guy. With the old shop out of business so to say. I went to the other shop. Guess what, I have Genessis gear, They do not work on Genessis gear. But they did check the reg for me and said it needed to be over hauled. Didnt charge me a penny. So now Ive got to find another shop to work on my gear. Fun, Fun, Fun ticked off about my guy going out of business and not letting anyone know. I suppose Ill end up mailing my equipment somewhere to be fixed. Talk about scary.
