Report
Dropped off my cylinder to have new seals put in and was told it would be done within 24 hours. 3 days later i had to call them and it wasn't even started. 2 days later picked up cylinder and was charged way more than i was told. Installed cylinder and after 24 hours its leaking. Bad customer service and bad pricing, terrible repair.
