Re: $99 re-pad service?

Hey Paul:
Point taken and you are of course correct. I know John and Patty at Tappin-Weir (as a matter of fact, I played with Patty for a whole season) and they do absolutely top of the line work. But they do not charge that kind of money ($850-$900 Can.) for some pads and a regulation.

I will not speak for the U.S. but up here to be a licenced auto mechanic takes 5 years of college plus apprentiship, and you provide your own tools, plus pay rent and taxes for your garage. I did not forget anything, up here that is the price of doing business.

As per Tappin-Weir, they are in Toronto, which is the equivalent in Canada of doing business in downtown New York city. My repair man is in London Ontario, so to your point, he does excellent work, but does not have that kind of overhead.

Thanks for responding, and I appreciate your contributions to this bboard.

Blake
