Author Topic: How is Southern Cal Cinetech to deal with? Justin West Master Film Handler Posts: 271 From: Peoria, IL, USA Registered: Jul 2001 posted 11-24-2004 09:21 PM                     I was just wondering if anyone on the forum has ever dealt with the company, Southern California Cinetech Services, Inc. 1361 Calle Crisantemo Thousand Oaks, CA 91360-1702 Phone: (805) 492-5005 Fax: (805) 492-8228 info@socalcinetech.com They advertise CE red readers but they only take money orders and checks, no credit cards. I have never dealt with them before but they seem pretty reasonable...are there any positive or negative dealings out there, that you could advise me of? Thank you all for your assistance.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-24-2004 10:49 PM                     Well, first off any dealer that is worth 2 cents will be equipped to take credit cards... primarily for the convenience of his customers. To me a dealer that doesn't is not operating in his customers best interest..... Secondly... if you are on a VERY tight budget get three quotes before deciding where to buy. Also inquire as to the return policys on special order items and so on and so forth. Aquaint your self with those dealers policys before diciding... That should make it easy for you to decide who to buy from. Mark @ CLACO  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

My friend and fellow Las Vegan Dave Huskinson works for them doing tech calls here. One of their real/reel specialties these days is theater air conditioning. They're good people.
