Anyone Know Who Does Diawa Reel Repair
 
I have an Emblem Pro 5500 and a Nautil 7500 that need a good once over. Any suggestions close to Boston?

You could always get them to me and I could give em to Stan. I have to bring him mine as well.

Don't send it to buckos. They will clean it and give it back to you broken

Try Monahan Marine in Weymouth MA.

I had a daiwa saltist i tried rebuilding, Twice. Got it fully assemled and there was one issue i could not correct.

They rebuilt it after i hacked it two times.

If you find out let me know I have 2 electrics that need repair and I'm not sending them to buckos

FWIF, I sent 6 EMP5500s to Daiwa over the winter for a general rehab and cleaning. They came back feeling (not looking by any means) brand new! They found some issues and upon my approval, repaired them. It took just a few weeks for all 6 to be returned. I want to say general rehab/cleaning is $25 then charge for parts.

Where exactly is "to daiwa"?
When you search online it defers you to buckos

Contact Steve Cook at angler.consulting@gmail.com or call him at 401-743-2200. He's located in RI but will also repair/service reels that are shipped to him.

Buckos sucks. My buddy swears they re attached a side plate on one of his abus with a drywall screw...:: my washing machine could do a better job of cleanin and fixin a reel than they do. Cost me $100 f'n bucks to service my saltist conventional and it still was f'd up afterwards. Should have just bought a new one for another 80 beans

The daiwa us website has the address. They go somewhere in california. They do a nice job and, assuming your saltiga doesn't need a new drive gear and piniion :smash:, the price is usually pretty reasonable. I got a ton of stuff done to a whisker 2600 this winter. Think it cost $30. I was going to throw it out, but decided to throw it in the box with the saltiga. Came back like new.

Just what Zimmy said. Go to their website. Address is there. Or you can google "daiwa reel repair". Second hit is a PDF for their service form with all the info

Not sure what happened over there....possibly a combination of Mike caring less about what's going on at the bench, hiring help that's clueless??

Back in the day he got the job done...he's even lost what little personality he ever had.
What a shame, almost seems like when his uncle passed on 2nd street, both places tanked.
Both Stanley and his wife were awesome...tsk, tsk....is all I can say.

It's too bad I didn't know about all this stuff. I literally sent the reel to Buckos and then went off line for a week.

Thanks for trying to help guys.
