I get charged $150+ To get my first and second stage rebuilt. I read this is because apeks locks down the parts to dealers only. Is a dealer my only option? I’m good for it in my tech setup, but for classes I need something more affordable that I can rebuild myself. What are my best options?
 
I have and can get OEM Apeks kits, tools and service manuals. Apeks would have to be one of the simplest regs to service especially the first stage. I can help. Message me if you want, offers there. Cheers.
 
If you’re looking for kits and don’t have an inside connection, your best bet is buying from European dealers on eBay.

If you’re fine with non OEM kits, the either NESS (as linked above) or Scuba Gaskets carries kits.
 
or switch to another brand like hog/deep 6 that offers the repair class much more readily. reality is that the kits aren't really that hard to find.
 
If you are reasonably handy then Apeks are very simple to work on. The rebuild kits can be sourced online as others have pointed out and there really isn't much to them. Most of the job is replacing o-rings. :)
