Shimano Reel Service Experience

I was thinking about sending my reels to Shimano and I’m curious what experiences y’all have had. Should I reconsider and go to a guy? I would do it myself but I’m not comfortable trying to work on three of my reels which are $450 plus.

The Reel Dr did a great job on my MGL.

I have had great warranty service from Shimano. but for regular maintenance, I use others.

I've used REEX-X but he told me he was retiring, so I figured I may as well find another dude. I went with DVT. what I got back was magic. I wanted to run inside the house to toast some bread, because what I had in my hands was BUTTER. I had sent him one Shimano MGL150 and a Daiwa SV TW.

he had to replace a worn bearing (on the Daiwa) and he included the old one in the box coming home as proof. price was super reasonable, and I expect to send him a few more this winter.
