Tim definitely does great work. He's fixed a couple of my kites over the years, including a North that Al-kite-ah split in half. :shock:
Came back good as new.

I recommend Keith from Advance Sails in St. Pete. He is local.

I had some French Canadians come into the shop with two broken Eclipse Kites. Looked like warranty. Called Keith and he said to send them down. He fixed the kites while they waited and didn't charge them a dime. The Canadians, Dimitri, and myself were blown away with such great service.

I have never had a complaint with one of his repairs either.

good to have a couple options..
i have only gone to keith for the few i've need.. super quality work..

but...

his schedule does not always allow for a quick turn around.

depending on your needs, good to have multiple options...

Maybe we need a sticky with a listing of all the local kite related services..
shop phone numbers and addresses, kite repair options, etc..

Very true Brian, he sometimes can get busy as he repairs more than just kites.
