I have Shimano Talicas (4) Avet raptors and 2 speeds (3 total) and 1 Okuma metalloid.  Alan is too far for me to send my reels.  I want find a reliable, reasonably priced person in OC.

I know Longfin in Orange...Shimano in Irvine...and there's always Avet where ever they are located.

I cannot attest to their service.

Flat-rate box is just as good as driving somewhere and picking it up with today's gas prices as well.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Not sure I understand?

At Flat Rate USPS shipping for all of your reels -- there would be little or no difference if you were shipping it 300 or 3000 miles.  Most of us have received 100s of packages through the Post Office -- with no issues.

What is you actual concern?

I do a lot reel servicing for the guys out here and can help you out easily, also I have a good turn around. I live in LA and am in OC quite often if you want to meet. If instead you want a very reputable company, I can recommend

I will say sending it to Alan is the best way to go! I cant think of anyone better!

Thanks guys.  I will try sending some to Alan first.  I was looking for someone local in my area.  Just came back from a 1.5 day.  Whacked 3 bluefins 20-30lb range.

Reel speed is OC. Local and nice on the bluefin. What port you go out off?

Sounds like you don't need repair, just service. Check out the boards here and do it yourself. YouTube is a good place to find tutorials too.
