I'm in the process of changing all my regs to HOG ( 6 more to go). Why? Service. I can get parts for my HOG's, I have a factory cert for another line that won't sell me parts. So what good is it other than it gives me a background in reg repair. I've seen too many shop rebuilds and services that were for crap. I'll do my own thanks for the peace of mind. Now my stage and pool regs may not be HOG's. But I will go with Edge for those because of the same policies. MY other regs are high end and very good. But there is no good reason for me to have to jump through hoops to get parts. If there were I could see it. But why should I pay for something I can do myself. If I did not have the tools or knowledge and did not want to do it that would be one thing. I don't change my own oil because I don't have a garage, ramps, or the time. And I have three places that send me coupons for 19.95 oil changes with a tire rotation! That is worth me not having to get dirty. But regs that I can do at home, dry, warm, in front of the tv- No I'm not paying $20-$30 per stage plus parts ( some are out of warranty) for something that takes an hour or less if the regs have been maintained as they should be. And I can have them when I want them. Not wait 2 weeks or more.
From the tech end people that do their own regs that know how are great. I didn't have to worry about some boob bringing in a reg that was never rinsed since the last vacation a year ago and expect to have it done in time for them to catch their flight in 2 days. If you are going to have someone service your regs bring them in before you need em! And not the day before.
