Mounted Wrong

I was at a ski shop and I needed my skis mounted so I did and it ended up that when they were finished it wasn't the mount I wanted. I told him to mount as close to the center as possible. He must have taken that in a different way because I just have a regular mount on my skis now. I am planning to get them remounted. Should I do anything about them doing it wrong? Or was that just on me. And if I get it remounted is their any way to fill in the hole where the previous bindings were? Thanks in advance.

Why would you say as close to center as possible? Why not just ask for center

Mention that they didn't mount them how you wanted if you go to the same shop. They might just do it again for free

First off- I don't mean this in any dick way but this is your fault, unfortunately. If you leave a mount up to someone else's interpretation, then you will not get what you want. Your directions were very unclear.

What you should do to avoid any confusion in the future is mark directly on the ski (either on a piece of tape or directly on the top sheet) a horizontal line where you want your boot's midsole placed. The midsole of the boot is physically indicated on middle of the boot's shell. This will ensure that no misinterpretation can be made and if a mistake is made during the mounting process, the fault will be with the shop/technician.
