Hi Guys,
Initially I would confirm nearly all manufacturers recommend an annual service as best practice, as some of the previous posts have referred to especially in regard to the firing mechanisms on automatic jackets. If it is of benefit to members of the Forum I am willing to offer a 15% discount on the stated charges on my website across the board.
As for the actual service, it includes a thorough check of the webbing/straps, 24 hour inflation test, inspection of the automatic salt cartridge, if appropriate, weighing and inspection of the C02 tank, testing the firing pin, and washing the jacket with a mild detergent to get rid of the worst of the mildew/grime. This is standard procedure for the vast majority of brands. I would then email a report to you before proceeding further
The basic cost is £16 per jacket, less the proposed discount, and if the C02 or bobbin need replaced we can do this after consultation with you as that cost depends on the type of jacket. Delivery and collection can be arranged by Fedex courier if required but contact me first for details as the cost varies considerably depending on your location.
The turnaround time for a service is usually about a week or so, but if you are in a rush we would obviously try and get it done in a shorter time for you.

In the future if there is sufficient interest, a drop off point may be established.
