|
| The most common questions I receive concern Parts/Servicing of Garcia Mitchell reels. |
| I will, therefore, post the most common questions. I welcome your input, and will also post appropriate answers. I hope this page will develop into a useful tool for all you Garcia Mitchell reel owners. |
| It is up to you, however, to determine the validity\accuracy of the answers I receive and post. |
| I am posting links & advertisements to registered businesses that service these old gems. |
| I am neither to be held liable for any issues of dissatisfaction resulting from information I post, nor dealings between these businesses, and those who choose to patronize them. | ||||
| I will try to post the feedback I receive, in an effort to
identify anyone or business that compromises the quality of the service I
am trying to provide to you. I will also try to keep you informed of those
individuals or businesses that are, as I am, trying to make your Garcia
Mitchell fishing lives a happier one.
I
am sorry, but I do not have much in the way of spare parts. I am a
collector of reels, and neither commercially service them, nor manufacture
or provide parts. However, as you may be now, I have struggled to both get
reels repaired, and to obtain parts. Here is a link to Mitchell.
Once there, follow the links to Service Info, then Service Centers.
Many of the service shops listed have old parts, or comparable new parts
to fix the old Mitchell reels. If that doesn't work, here is a link to Abu-Garcia,
try them, too. Both are subs of Purefishing
Corp. On the bottom of this page there are links to a couple of
shops I have had success with. |
