One more episode in the reg warranty saga...
I was wondering what the exact procedure is to get the new Mares extended lifetime warranty for two sets of regulators bought in 2005. I asked my LDS, and the owner told me they took care of that: I had nothing to sign, nothing to pay, all I needed was my booklet properly filled out every year.
I thought I had at least some paperwork to fill out (and pay $35 per reg), but the owner was adamant. He said Mares made a big deal only for regs bought in 2004 and previous years.
I don't think a "trust me" policy is appropriate when it comes to the devices I breathe from. Am I, or am I not, covered by the new warranty? I really like my reg, but getting a straight story from my LDS is becoming quite a hassle...
