Had 2 repairs from Moti Levy Kite Repairs.

He does quick turn around.

3 year warranty on repairs
And
Has a free courier to get your kite back to you.

Basicly, fill in the repair form, send it off, wait a few days and it's back.
Based in NSW, but bestin the business in my opinion.

I do not work for Moti Levy either.

Agree with Ragzilla...

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.

Sail repairer at Nautical supplies in Darwin. Did my 15m envy when it exploded sitting on the beach..
have had a few repairs done there and he does all the Darwin crews kites. If you only get to Darwin on weekends i can drop it off for you in business hours.

Add repair tape on both sides... sew around the edges of the tape and your good to go.

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.

Disclaimer - don't know Moti from a bar of soap.

The thing about "balance" on an internet forum is similar to elsewhere in our society. Those that had bad experience are the ones who always shout first and shout the loudest. I wonder how many good experiences people have had with Moti that are not commenting on here to give true indication of his customer satisfaction?? So those with bad experiences (and all businesses have that) think a balance is to have a one-to-one ratio reflected.

It would be interesting to hear his (or hers) side of the story, but I'm sure he's too busy servicing his 99% of happy customers.
