The last straw for me was when I called to see about getting a new string on my PowerMax. They told me that I would have to “drop it off” and pick it up in a week. Mind you, this was in April so not like just before hunting season. i live over 2 hours from the shop so I asked if I could make arraignments to drop it off when they opened and pick it up before they closed that day. I was told no. I finally got to talk to the owner and he agreed to it. Dropped it off for a new string and “full” cleaning and tune. They called me a few hours later and said I was all set. I went and picked it up. I used their indoor range to shoot a few before I left. I then saw that it had not been cleaned. When I asked about it, I was told there was a mix up and I would have to leave the bow as that tech was gone for the day. The same tech that oiled my QAD rest and ruined it. I decided I needed a backup bow and then thought to myself, you can’t do any worse than the “tech”. Two new bows later and haven’t had anybody but me touch my stuff. I even changed the limbs on my Helix.
To be fair with a lot of bows you need to have them in hand to get the correct string and cables. I wouldn't count on someone telling me over the phone what it has, or if the stickers on the limbs match what is actually on the bow.
Some (darton) are hard to get once you have in hand and you really need to pull and measure.
