After I had some trouble with me regs on our last trip due to the crew handling them incorretly, I took my stuff to our LDS ( yes I try to support them "at times"). to get a good through and through on them. Now, mind you they are Dacor, so I know there might be some issues with parts availability, but as long as I only need o-rings and seals I should be ok for a few more years. Now comes the rub. The LDS called me back and told me that they would have to send it out and that it would cost 85.00 plus parts to get it overhauled! I just received a flyer from another LDS that is about an hour away and they are overhauling for 18.00 per Reg. I, like the fool I am, agreed to continue with the first LDS, I am starting to wonder why they had to send it out, when they do in shop overhauls as a norm, and why are they charging so much. I asked if there was a problem with the regs, and they said they didn't even open them up, so I might have to go ask about all of this. Don't get me wrong, I am not interested in having a "cheap" overhaul done, but 85.00 + parts seems a bit steep. What do you think. Maybe I should get into the Reg overhaul business? After a couple of overhauls like this It would be cheaper to buy new regs, though I love my old reg.
