He is very reliable and an excellent craftman. I am from Singapore and have no problem getting my Ms CLA. I use FEDEX - it takes a day there(surprisingly) and 3 days back. Don't send it by ordinary post because FEDEX handles the notorious customs. Just declare it as "Photographic gears for servicing". No hassle so far. Do a CLA and you will be surprised at the brightness of your viewfinder. I just did my beloved M3 and its absolutely fabulous. I am going to send my M4 in soon for the winder coupling so I can use the rapidwinder. In Asia, I wouldn't even recommend the Leica Authorised Repair - I want Leica to listen. "The distributor service over here is terrible".
