Being new to Spain, I went to the only authorised repairer I could find. i
was told 40 days. I moaned a bit but took it. I got an estimate on Feb 19th
(3 months!). The dealer does sod all except to keep reminding me how lucky I
am to be able to get a 20year old camera repaired at all and perhaps I
shouild take my business elsewhere next time.

very easy to communicate with. My M6 meter was dead, and the local Leica
dealer sent my camera to Denmark. Two days later I could call the repairman
on the phone, to decide what to do and get the estimated repair cost. The
whole meter was replaced, and we agreed on a full CLA as well.
