Just got my regs back from servicing today (different shop).
$50 for parts
$25 for each stage (1 primary, 1 secondary, 1 AIR2)
Total cost: $137.58
Sounds good to me. Thumbs Up. :thumbs_up:

My costs for regs and BC $86
Times three because my kids have their own kits!

Try and do a mail in to Divers Direct in Florida. They have a quality checklist on line that tells you what they will do and modest published prices and they honor warrenty parts. Keep your BC clean and dry inside and out when your dive is done and learn to air test them yourself each time you put it on. Also some regs only get inspected every other year by design.

no offense, but that was in New Orleans?
I mean, IS there any
place cheaper in America?
...just asking..
I might be ready to move there, lol. Honestly---I have settled in to service about every year and a half to two years and then just get a new mid-priced regulator, sell the used one for whatever you can get. If you run the numbers, I don't see any other way to justify it.
I service my regs every few years, "few" being used liberally if you know what I mean. 
Hence, I never considered forking over a couple hundred on maintenance a big deal.
I like $137.58 MUCH BETTER, however. The tech even desensitized my AIR2 the way I like it. Gave me a little box with all the replaced parts, too. I heard that *better* shops like to do this to show their customers that they put the work in. Cool beans.

As for New Orleans being *cheap* to live in, most cities in Texas one-up it in that regard. Much better roads, too.:11:
