 Poster: A snowHead
|
Can anyone recommend me a decent Ski Tech who isnt too far from the Warrington Area who can be trusted with a PTX repair and some servicing. I dont trust Slush and Rubble with PTX.
Id send them to Jons but carriage and collection might make it uneconomic

marksovereign, have you considered going down to Jonsskituning and doing his course? i did it last year after biting the bullet and getting my own skis. he takes you through pretty much everything and if your skis dont need it you get to do it on a practise pair that he has. Honestly if the damage hasnt gone through to the core Ptexing is pretty straight forward.
there is a place called Rivington Alpine near Chorley (I think he moved to some new premises since I went to his old shop, but still in that area) Google it will come up. I got boots there about 18 months ago the chap who owns it called Graham I think seemed very knowledgeable certainly fantastic boot fitter and I pretty sure he does ski servicing also.
Good luck but really think about getting yourself to Skijon, I have more than got my money back in saved ski servicing.

You could always try the altis ski repair service in Warrington 
I repair / tune 7 or 8 pairs of skis probably twice a year. That's not a great number, I know, but I don't do them in a hurry and all my mates keep giving them back to me.
PM me if you want to pursue.

Another vote.for Ventura. Chris really knows his stuff, but this time of year he is very busy.
