well at the beginning of the season, i bought some armada AR7's and when i bought them, i had them mounted that week. when i brought them back in to get mounted with my FKS's, they never asked me where i wanted them on the form or just asking me at all. they set them 5 cm back from center and i wanted them set at 1.5 cm back from center. i was in a hurry when i dropped them off to get them mounted because i was going to get a haircut in a few min nearby and they kindly escorted me out and said it would be done when i get back. they had my # and email on the form on the ski when it went back to the shop. the tech took them back and the other 2 people in there walked us out. they claimed to have run out after we left because they never asked me where i wanted them mounted at. they proceeded to drill the holes and when i get back and pick them up i didnt really give them too much attention to exactly how far back they mounted them back. i got home and when i took them out of the car, i noticed that they seemed to be back unusually much. i measure the skis and find out they put them 5 cm back from center and i was pretty disappointed to see that on the form taped to my ski, the box that says where i wanted the skis mounted was blackened by pen. when i brought the skis back. they offered me a $100 gift card to compensate for the mis-mount and the $50 i payed for to get them mounted in the first place as well as a remount with the original holes being filled.
so i take the offer and just today, my ski popped of after landing switch on the handrail and when i picked the ski back up, the heel-piece shook against the ski. the back 2 screws had ripped out of the ski and i was mad because i knew this meant i would already have to go to my 3rd and final mount. so the shop tech at my mountain (different store) had taken the binding off and was pissed that someone would drill into a plug that that person had just made. when the tech at the store where i got these mounted plugged the holes drilled the new holes, he drilled into the new plugs that he just put in.
really want im wanting to know now is what to expect when i go into the shop tomorrow and ask whats the deal with this mount. i asked my friend at the mountain what drilling into or near a plugged hole does and i feel like the shop is at fault for doing that. he said that every shop tech should have the common sense to never do that and i should have new skies refunded to me because of there mistakes and what my dad says,"unprofessionalism" in the past few mounts dealing with them.
my friend at my mountain even told me straight up that he will not mount those skis anymore because of the amount of holes in the area where i want them mounted.
as pictures go the middle two holes are the stripped ones and the other 4 holes are just fine. the two plugged ones are in the back and the new holes are just fine up front as well.
+k for serious answers of what i should expect
-k for hate
