Reel Repair? Vancouver Island

[kaelc]

Anyone have a good place to service and repair lever drag reels on the island? Shipping my 2-speed TLD's to the US to shimano seems like a lot of work.

Anyone ever use https://reelmagic.ca/past-work/ this guy? There was someone on Vanalman as well... not sure if it is the same guy.

Thanks,

Yes same guy, Wayne Campbell services all lever/level wind reels.
I had my Tekota serviced, and a few parts replaced for $35

X 2. I never had a reel serviced by him but I did call last month and he walked me through fixing a reel. Great customer service. Would definitely use him in the future.

There's a guy in Port Hardy who does reel servicing as well - can't recall his info but it's in my phone somewhere.

Cheap and good - good and cheap

Nice guy too.

Thanks guys. Between @Hardy Guy and a Scottish scoundrel with Campbell as a last name I should be set!

I have had a few reels fixed up by Wayne at reel magic. Super great to deal with and very fair prices.

Country Rod crafting is my go to. He's trying to sell the business but still operating for now

Shimano Canada is the best place to send your Shimano reels They do a good job and the price is $35 all parts included Plus postage I have send my Tyrnos reels there They were ready for recycling and they came back working like new

Most of the small guys don't have the right parts and are good for reels that need a good cleaning

Also vouch for Wayne with reelmagic. I gave him 4 older abu garcia 6500s that he brought back to life in a big way, awesome to deal with and very fair pricing.

Mike just repaired 3 reels I had dropped off to him. He is heading to the interior for a while now so won't be doing any reels till he gets back if he is still continuing the business in Nanoose.
