Silva Service

My 6 month old Silva S10 developed a display problem after a particularly rough trip back to Plymouth from Newton Ferrers last week. The VHF functioned fine, but the display was blank.

On monday, i posted it back to SILVA

It arrived late Tuesday Morning

I got a BRAND NEW replacement this afternoon (Wednesday) delivered to work, from silva at no cost.

Thanks to Silva for really outstanding customer service, its nice to know that there are still some companies that actually care about the customer .

Silva seems to really turned a corner in customer satisfaction.

I bought a Silva S10 from the LBS back in 2004. I never had a problem with it...Ever. Earlier this year I heard that they where recalling a large batch of S10's and that they had changed company they used to build/assemble these products for quality reasons.

As a result I recieved a brand new S10 DSC Radio in January, so a big to Silva for changing their ways.
