Mares Reg Service in the Netherlands

[blues]

My regulator (Abyss 2006) needs an overhaul before I leave for vacation in June and I need advice for a service centre in Netherlands. I live in Rotterdam and I'd appreciate fellow divers' experience with any service centre in the area. An authorized centre would be great but anyway my octo is Aqualung and therefore I don't mind.
I already checked Mares website. There are several centres which seem also to have mares lab certificate but I'd appreciate any real life exprerience.
Is there a service centre that anyone would suggest?
Thanks in advance.

Uh-oh - getting your reg serviced just before a vacation always seems the best way to start your vacation with a faulty reg. Dive shops seem to break regs more efficiently than wear and tear ever does...

Just make sure you do a couple of dives between servicing and leaving for vacation.

I'm back from vacation. Barry thanks for the warning and sadly, you were right : ( Apparently the transmitter was flooded, the reg is OK though. I was afraid of a failure due to the service but I did not have much time to test it before I left. Anyway, now we'll see how the LDS will handle it.

Finally, today I've received a call form SubLub that Suunto replaces my transmitter due to the maintenance failure.
So, bad things happen but I hope this will end happy.
