I sent Fred my 40669 pump on June 4, 2021 for a full restoration. He acknowledged via email it arrived safely on June 10th. On Sept 14 I sent an email just checking on progress. I did not get a response. On Feb 1 Fred emailed to let me know my pump was getting sent out FedEx and gave a tracking number and I got it 2 days later. I was very happy with his work.
One thing he mentioned over and over is that he does these in a minimum of 20 per batch and generally does 2 to 3 a year. He said it takes quite a bit of time and that my typical wait could be 2-3 months or longer. Mine was 7 months. I did not mind as I never felt he was a scammer or a guy who would not come through.
I felt he was very straight forward about this and never did he over promise anything.
I would use him again. It was $250 plus $25 return shipping.
He did mention a quicker turnaround if I did the survivor rebuild with just new internals.
Sounds like he just dreads working with his plater.
