Thought I would start here... So I've got a Shimano Sahara 1000. I bought the original (I'm on my second one) less than a year ago, problem is, I can't seem to find the receipt. Now I realize Shimano has an excellent replacement policy and that it's free before one year but I would like to get it fixed before my weekend getaway next weekend in Green Valley Lake. Last time I drove to Irvine to the factory and dropped it off personally. My work order got lost or something and I had to call to ask them to get on the ball. I was supposed to have the reel back in "2-3 days" and it took more like 2-3 weeks. I'm pretty sure it just has some sand in it but I'm willing to pay to have it cleaned by someone with more dexterity than myself. I drink too much coffee and will surely lose a screw or ten. Does anyone know of a good place to drop off a reel for maintenance where I won't have to wait around for shipping? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks guys and gals.
