Regulator inspection/refurb costs?

[Scared Silly]

although am curious to know what Atomic owners cough up.

The guy that services my AA regs is a real PITA. Strips a reg at the first sign of corrosion, seals them then complains about using more damn lube than a porn star, demands a beer when they are done. But they breath oh so nicely so I guess it was worth all the money spent on tools.

You seem to know a lot about porn stars......

San Francisco Bay Area, $30 per stage is the going rate. Add kits for each stage if you don't have free parts for life.

$35.00 per stage plus the price of the kit, which is typically around $20.00.

I had a conshelf (two second stages and a first stage) serviced last June for $160 ($35/stage + parts)at one shop. I had a quote to service a similar set this previous February for $143 ($30/stage + parts) at another.

I'm in Virginia, and the shops are 90 miles apart. ~$150 seems to be the going rate here. I regard both shops highly. The first stage tends to cost a bit more. I suspect that is because of the cost of the high pressure seat.

I use these guys or VDH. Scuba Regulator Repair - Scuba Equipment Dive Gear Best Prices

I don't ever recall parts being very expensive. Certainly not worth yearly service just to maintain "parts for life".

I was quoted $300 for a service on an Atomic Aquatics B2 sealed first and second stage with Z2 octo...!!!
While they are indeed great breathing regs this was a major instigator in learning how to service my own gear.
My Dwyer 2-0-2 magnehelic arrived on Friday
