I bought a new zeagle reg from a retail store that was going out of business. Since they were going out of business (and clearly had not sold much product for some time), I wasn't surprised to not find them on the list of authorized dealers at the time I made the purchase. I would expect that Zeagle dropped them from the list when they didn't produce enough volume.
Here's what did surprise me about the list of authorized dealers - when I search (via the zeagle site) for one in my area, and then call them to confirm that they are authorized to do repairs/service:
These are just the names I checked out. Disappointing. I was hoping to find someone listed as authorized who actually say that they are authorized and are interested in doing the work - in my area. Shouldn't be a big deal since I live south west of L.A.
Here's what did surprise me about the list of authorized dealers - when I search (via the zeagle site) for one in my area, and then call them to confirm that they are authorized to do repairs/service:
- Pacific Wilderness - listed, but tell me they are not authorized. They had no interest in pursuing the discussion.
- Eco Dive Center - listed, but send their stuff to Aqua Lab, and Aqua Lab says they are not authorized
- Malibu Divers - listed, but their site indicates that they are not authorized (actually, their stuff is sent to Malibu Scuba Repair, and that site indicates no Zeagle authorization)
- Ocean Adventures Dive Co - listed, but they say they send their stuff to a third party for repair (they seemed uncertain if the third party was authorized)
- Zeagle Express - their site says they are authorized, but they are not listed as such on the zeagle site.
- Scuba Toys - finally, a site listed as authorized who also say they service Zeagle regulators! According to google maps, they're 1441 miles from my house, that'll be a long drive! Maybe they'll let me wait while they do the work?
