Title: Bye Bye Minelab! Post by: Chef Geoff on February 05, 2016, 03:05:22 PM Well from Europe anyway!
I've just seen on the web that Minelab are closing down their European depot in Ireland as of next week it seems to have come as a shock to Minelab users so unsure how long it's been planned but their email addresses in Ireland are already returning emails undelivered. I know, or think, Steve is now back as the official repair agent but how warranty repairs will work I'm not sure, it's certainly not the way to go to gain customers :-\ Title: Re: Bye Bye Minelab! Post by: david995 on February 05, 2016, 03:11:31 PM steve did some work on my explorers last week, that was private he was working as a private business then and he was great to deal with i might also add.
Title: Re: Bye Bye Minelab! Post by: Val Beechey on February 05, 2016, 03:23:18 PM From my experience of Steve I would think he will still do work privately. Unless, of course, he's tied into a contract with Minelab that restricts him
I s'pose all will become clear in due course. Title: Re: Bye Bye Minelab! Post by: Chef Geoff on February 05, 2016, 03:26:00 PM He is brilliant in fact once he had repaired one of my Explorers so fast I thought it had been returned by mistake, as you say he is the "agent" for Minelab he doesn't work for them as such ;)

Oh well thats competition for you high wages wanted, customers want low prices now you will get low prices with higher repair costs one thinks ??? Title: Re: Bye Bye Minelab!
