I tend to concur.  My history with leica service in Canada began with
Wild-Leitz (nice, they mailed me a free users manual when I bought my first
used M4-P), then Queen Street Camera (terrible, and they eventually went
broke), then Leica Canada (a subsiduary of Leica USA), who were OK with
Reinhard M. in charge of service, and now finally Kindermann.   Kindermann
seems by far to be the class act of the bunch.
