Macster said..Not so convinced about Moti. His outfit damaged a valve on a kite I sent to him to repair and then said it was impossible that he broke it and that it must have been me that did it. He did however offer to fix it for another $100 if I sent it back to him... If he was nearby I would have gone and seen him face to face, but pointless arguing over the phone.
Just to add balance to the thread for future reference I had a similar experience with Moti.
Mine wasn't a valve, he simply fixed a L.E tear but left the smaller tear next to it. Claimed it was a nick which turned into a tear when I pumped it up (Can happen) except I didn't pump it up because the tear was so obvious when I got it back.
His website says he tests all kites and keeps a picture before sending back but when i asked for the picture he said his phone had died and it was unavailable.
Long story short he wouldn't fix it without getting paid for another repair and it was a solid month before I was using that kite again..
No hate or malice just balancing a thread which will get googled by the next guy who tears his kite.
