Thought the following firms deserved a mention.

Frank Alviti balanced me a flail rotor a couple of months ago. They're 100 odd miles from me so not practical to drop it off and fetch it another day nor would it stand a haulier. We made a plan together for me to drop it off and they'd make sure a man and machine were free so it could be turned round while I waited.
All at a sensible price too.

David King electronics sorted the joystick out on my matbro. I couldn't afford to be without it very long so again we made a plan for me to get it to them on a certain day and they'd have a man free waiting for it. It was back and working perfectly within 3 days.
They've also done me 2 wrapper control boxes this week. 1 came back with a few niggles but a quick phone call and all was sorted. One of the more helpful firms I've dealt with

Lastly Graham Edwards trailers.
Called in last week to order a trailer. Wanted a few bits making differently to standard. I got their best price first time and no extra charge for the alterations. Nice to deal with a company that actually listens to what the customers want

DKE almost legendary status and for good reason. Not sure what happened on the trade stand, but I've found David himself is always happy to talk and is a very pleasant chap to deal with.

I couldn't let this thread pass without mentioning Chafer. I was only thinking yesterday about it in fact.

Kev (service manager) in particular is so helpful. You can just call him up if you've got a problem, he's always friendly and happy to chat through , knows the machines inside out and is genuinely pleased to hear from you. I couldn't ask for better!

Some manufacturers I found just aren't interested and make you feel like you shouldn't be calling.

I'd start a "bad service" thread if I were you. That way we could have one thread of praise, and another highlighting firms that could do better.

Have not used them personally but spoke to them at lamma as they were packing up and were polite keen and helpful. A lot more than some are at shows.

Bateman sprayers legendary service!

Peacock and Binnington at brigg look after our challengers they are 120+ miles away from us but look after us and give much much better service than dealers 5 miles away in the local town!

Allmet driers always exceptional service but believe that they are no longer running a service department, has any one else heard this?
