Laflex - Linhof Service

[JDW22]

I'm returning to LF after a hiatus of nearly 40 years. Accordingly, I've recently acquired a Linhof Master Technika 2000 and want to have a CLA performed to insure it is working up to factory specifications. I've recently become aware of Laflex in California. Supposedly, Laflex bought the Marflex tools/equipment when Martin retired and passed away.

Does anyone have comments or experience with Laflex?

Following. I've seen his work on Instagram and received a flat rate price for a CLA without parts replacement. Looking at what they do, I'd say it seems worth it. I'm wondering if anyone else has experience with them as well.

I'd also be interested in hearing any reports about this. Martin serviced both of my Linhofs and once I had a finder repaired at Nippon Photo Clinic in New York (a bit of an ordeal, since they had just started servicing Linhof, but they got it right in the end), and last I checked, Precision Camera Works in Chicago was doing authorized service for Linhof. I don't think I've needed anything Linhof since they started handling Linhof repairs, but Bob Watkins serviced my Arca-Swiss B2 tripod head several years ago, and it's been working perfectly ever since.
