Don't want to risk a long turnaround this time of year.
I needed something else to worry about.

i called them for an extra top knob for my VS250 and had it in 3 days. They did a great job on my reel. The list of parts they replaced was like 36 or 37 different pieces.

Sounds like some of you guys are cutting it close, season is just around the corner.

If I was ever lucky enough to have a VS and needed service it would go back the day after the season ended.

I shipped my VS250 to VS via US Mail. I insured it for $1000. Cost like 8 or 10 bucks. I was hoping it got stolen. I could have bought 2 used VS on EBay.
