Wanted to write a quick review of a local hydro shop I tried out for the first time recently, Welcome to Total Tank Service. I was pleasantly surprised by the service I received.
I've been watching this guy post on Craigslist for a while now, and I typically don't like dive shops that advertise on Craigslist. But, turns out this guy isn't a dive shop, he just does hydros and fills, and he's dirt cheap!
His charge for hydro, vip and air fill is $20, cheaper than a hydro at most fire extinguisher shops I've been quoted as a walk in customer!
His shop, which is shared with a guy who builds custom fishing rods and stainless steel fillet tables, is tucked in by BassPro in Fort Lauderdale. He keeps odd hours as this is a second job/business for him, but he's flexible and replies quickly to texts or emails.
What really surprised me when I picked the tanks up was the color print out reports from VisualPlus and a PSI form. He indicated that he could get a report from the hydro shop as well but that he didn't typically ask for it unless the tank failed, and he showed me the form from a 6351 tank that had failed hydro.
I've been taking tanks to Dave Zappala in central Florida for years, but this guy is half the price, and the service still seems good.
I have no comment about his tumbling or o2 cleaning services, but for hydro, he seems like a great, value priced option.
