Mike Stark Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I had to send in my old FL-18 to get the motor replaced. It was delivered to them on Wednesday morning. I got a call from Vexilar Wednesday afternoon with a quote for the repair. Got my FL-18 back today! I was pleasantly surprised to get my unit back today. Can't beat a one day turn around! Thanks Vexilar. monstermoose78 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Vexilar. Mike that is outstanding. Did you send it to them or drop it off right with them and then pick it back up yourself? Aren't they on West Old Shakopee Rd and you in Ely or did one of there service outlets do that for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Stark Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Leech,I mailed it to them from Ely through the USPS. They sent it back from Minneapolis through FedEx. Edited December 18, 2015 by Mike Stark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZacAttack0201 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Hands down best customer service I've had with anything boating, fishing, hunting or outdoors related. My FL-18 got smashed up last year and it was fixed incredibly fast and fairly inexpensive. I had been looking at Marcum LX-7's as my next unit, but with how awesome Vex treated me, next unit will be an FLX28. I can't say enough good things about these guys!

Mike, from Ely down to the cities repaired and back up to Ely in one day! Have you been in the Boat House to much waiting for the ice?

JIvers Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I can't comment on Vexilar's customer service.I have had my FL-8 for sixteen years, and I have never needed customer service on it. Falling off the back of a truck, tumbling down a frozen bank, getting doused with water outdoors on days when it was well below freezing--it just keeps running.My Vex is on its third ice transducer, and its second set of battery wiring, but the sonar itself runs as well as it did when I first got it out of the box.

jig4em Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I sent my 18 to them in early April just to have it checked out. It's probably 12 years old. I got a call that everything checked out and the brushes weren't even halfway used. They cleaned it, lubed it and shipped it back. Total turn around a week.

hunter83 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 all 2015 flx-28 are locking up at certain depths. vexilar tech said they are working on the issue. hopefully they figure it out soon because marcum is knocking at my door . paid good money for this brand new unit that didn't work for first time use.

I had the same experience, sent in my FL18 because I thought it was getting too loud, got a call from Vexilar that everything checked out fine, sent it back -- no charge!!!
