I got mine back 3 weeks ago and they hit me up for $55 extra. The reels were nice and clean and feel smooth. If they did not list drag washers on your repair invoice then they did not replace them as they are $3.50/ea and are not covered by the warrantee.
I had Penn washers in mine (intentionally) and they replaced them at the $3.50/ea plus $2.50/ea for the stainless washers. I could have replaced them myself for free because the original owner sent me a bag full of Rulon washers.
