I can vouch for both of them. Sherry needs no introduction, her work is first rate. I sent the CL to her since she had worked on it for the original owner. Steve's storefront is an hour's drive for me, so that enters the equation in my case. His work was exemplary, and he committed to a 4-week turnaround on the M-4 and finished in 3. He was careful to explain what he would be doing and took the time to give me a tour of his shop. It was, to say the least, impressive. I would not hesitate to use either.

A friend of mine managed to figure two non-funcional M3 bodies (stack shutters, problematic frame counters (do not reset), cocking operation, RF misalignment, ...) and we're considering sending them for a good CLA (or shoudl I consider complete overhaul in our case). I have been checking several options in US, such as DAG, Youxin Ye, Steve Choi, Sherry Krauter quering al of them by email their estimation and turn around times. Most roughly estimated within approx. 220-275 US$ (if no major repair is necessary) including labor and parts, there were though somewhat cheaper options also. I have heard good things abour DAG, Sherry, however know very little about Youxin and Steve. I'd appreciate your opinions about the latter two, and Youxin in particular. I'll be grateful for any experiences with them, are you satisfied by the quality and promised turn-around times ? Was the communication with them prompt ? Thanks, Alex ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
