recommendations for Apeks regulator service

[dogdrjohn]

Anyone out there have any recommendatins for a service center for Apeks regs? I want someone that does quality work and doesn't charge a small fortune. Last service June 2005 cost me something like $270 for 5 stages - 2 first, 2 second, and octo. I was told each stage needed a complete kit as individual parts were no longer available from the manufacturers. Is the anybody around that might do it for a more reasonable charge? Not in any hurry as I will not be diving for a few months. Probably just service the Zeagle (by Apeks) Flathead/TX100/airsource combo that is my primary system and gets the most use. I used to bring the Zeagle/Apeks Tech 50 as I backup - and needed it on Turneffe Atoll when I discovered a small leak in the first stage of the Flathead after they were both serviced last - but don't like the extra weight of two regs.
I don;t mind shipping them if the price and quality of service is right - at least the local place fixed the leak (pinched gasket) when I got back for no charge.

I was going to recommend Tech Diving Limited also.

At the bottom of their home page they list their reg. repair pricing.
I don't know if they service Apeks or not, would have to ask them.

EDIT - talked to them on the phone, they do Apeks warranty work. If it is not under warranty for the parts, they will add on the cost of the parts. They also O2 clean the regs.
