Signed on 21st February, 2018 by Steve Motarski
I have dealt with John before,this time he excelled himself 3 reels turned around in 24 hours,he even managed to repair one that I had had to bits myself (I made a right mess of it).

Yes he knows what he is doing.Yes he does the job quickly.Yes he is very reasonable with his prices. BUT the biggest thing is that I trust him and am therefore happy to recommend him to anyone.

Excellent service I had a good quality reel saved from the bin which was re vamped and returned within 48 hrs for more than a fair price, you cant ask for more that....

Thanks John, sorted my sticky fred crouch trotter centrepin. So much better and great value. Quick turnaround and a phone call to let me know plus free advice on maximising its potential. 10 out of ten . I'd use you again and recommend your services to anyone . You clearly have the knowledge and skill.

Sent in 3x fox reels for service and repair ( very few service companies will touch em!) , Reelvalue did an excellent job in double quick time , really can’t believe how cheap as well, all three together cost as much as some companies charge for one ! Very happy customer here !

Thanks again John for another fantastic service on both of my Abu Soron reels! Always a gentleman and so fair with your pricing, always a pleasure to part with my money☺.

Greetings John, I sent my TFG Centre Pin to you back in August for a repair to the clicker. I used it for the first time today – perfect (though I caught nothing except possibly pneumonia). Whilst fishing I suddenly realised that I had not confirmed receipt of the reel when you returned it, nor thanked you for your swift and courteous service. I was mortified and resolved as soon as I got home to send this email. So thank you John, it was a super repair and the turn round was exemplary. I am only sorry it has taken me so long to do what should have been done immediately.

Shopping online can be hazardous. Speaking from my first experience of dealing with Reel Value I am absolutely delighted and fully recommend them. They more than lived up to their name of VALUE. Experienced, professional and quick service, thank you.

Sent in an Okuma reel for repair. In our email correspondence I described the problems & John accurately broke them down. The reel came back in impeccable condition. The process turned into a bit of a saga - my payment by mail got mislaid by the PO (too heavy, took 2 months to return to me) and then the returned reel somehow took a detour from the UK to Canada en route to Ireland - surreal!! John is very kind & patient. And he knows his stuff.
Thanks, John.

thanks for a speedy service to my okuma reel. excellent service as I have come to expect. hihly recommended.
Signed on 8th January, 2018 by michael sullivan
What an outstanding service! I sent two faulty Scierra salmon fly reels to John just before Cristmas and he had repaired and serviced them both and returned them to me by 28th December. I am absolutely delighted and would highly recommend Reel Value to anyone.
Many thanks.

Fantastic service from John. Repaired and serviced an Abu 6501c3 for a very reasonable cost and had it returned to me in N Ireland 4 days after I sent it to him.
Highly recommended
Signed on 2nd December, 2017 by Marty McDonald
Absolutely brilliant service.
Sent 3 Tibor reels, all serviced and returned promptly at an amazingly low cost
Very happy to recommend.
Many thanks John

Sent my Okuma reel on Wednesday and got it back by Saturday. Fantastic service and very reasonable cost. I think many anglers like me who are not technical would have written their reels off in this situation. Many thanks John
Signed on 25th November, 2017 by Stuart Watts
Just had 2 very old Abu Multipliers serviced by John, they were returned within a week of posting and now look immaculate, will definitely be using the service again.
I also had a long conversation with John about sea fishing and the best line to use on one of my smaller reels, he definitely knows his stuff.
Signed on 15th November, 2017 by Matt Howarth
Had what I thought was a major issue with one of my Pro Logic alarms. John however put me at ease when I spoke to him, so I sent it off to Reel Value for repair. The alarm was returned promptly in full working order and at the price I was assured it would be.
Excellent service all round. I highly recommend this company.
Signed on 30th October, 2017 by Ian Sketchley
Fantastic friendly and very good value service from John. Nothing was too much trouble. Very glad I didn't upgrade my old set of alarms now John has repaired them!!
Signed on 21st October, 2017 by Ian Huckle
Sent my 4 Daiwa sportsmatics off to John for servicing,one needed a repair to the main drive gear which he managed to do without replacing the part.Well impressed and will definately use the service again.

Sent John 2 shimano 4000 series reels both had some hammer. Returned in quick time like new. Don't buy new unless you've tried this chap first. Nick Sutton
Signed on 16th September, 2017 by Nick Sutton
Another reel serviced and returned in quick time. Great job as usual 👍
Signed on 5th September, 2017 by Rob Butler
I was given John’s details by a friend who talked me out of new reels but to get them repaired and serviced. John not only carried out the work but also turned them around in 24 hrs for my holiday. This man is a ‘True Gent’ and I couldn’t recommend him enough to all from good advice, repair, service and anything fishing
Thanks again John - Matt Jellis
Signed on 22nd August, 2017 by Matthew Jellis
One of John's competitors recommended Reel Value - which in itself says something very positive - and when I spoke to him, he could not have been more helpful. Sent off my reel & he fixed it, sent it back almost by return & then charged a singularly reasonable fee that included the postage back. Couldn't have hoped for better service at a better price!
Signed on 17th August, 2017 by roger stephens

Signed on 12th August, 2017 by Cliff cullen
Sent my Okuma Interceptor to John with bail arm problems. The reel was returned in double quick time repaired and serviced for £13 including postage!
He kept me informed of progress and explained what had happened to the reel to cause the problem.(Also some good advice on not using the bail arm auto closure.)
Excellent efficient and friendly service. I will recommend Reel Value to anyone requiring good old fashioned customer service at a superb price.

Top class service once again from John, I can't recommend him highly enough and his prices must be the lowest around.
Signed on 10th August, 2017 by David Singleton
Emailed John about my reels saying I needed them back with in 2 weeks. He emailed back saying he could do it but he was on holiday the week after next so would need them asap. Sent them to him. And they were done with in 2 days.He did grate job and even found the time to call and discus the work when he took payment. We endid up talking all things fishing for the next 40min. Grate guy, very knowledgeable and a grate price. First class 👍🏻

Sent my Daiwa Windcast 5500 to John for service and repair, as it was making a strange sound and was vibrating when turning the handle. John found the cause and managed to repair the issue at a very low cost. The reel arrived back in protective packaging and now works perfectly. Excellent service and a very reasonable price - I will be sending my other 3 off for a general service in due course!
Signed on 26th July, 2017 by Dave Lorek
Posted my Daiwa Saltist multiplier on Monday morning. John phoned at 10.40 on Tuesday morning to tell me that it was all fixed and a bearing replaced. Very reasonable price and arrived back in the post this morning. What amazing service and we had a nice chat too!

Had a damaged Scierra Fly Rod which I was unable to get a replacement section as the model was discontinued. Contacted Svendsen Sport who supply Scierra rods in the UK but they were unable to help. However their Customer Service gave me John Wadsworths details and the rest is History!! He repaired my rod as good as new at a very reasonable cost. I have fished four times with and have not blanked!! A very professional service that I would recommend to anyone with fishing tackle problems. Many thanks John.

Was recommended Reel Value from members of the pikers pit forum. Made an enquiry to John re fixing a reel and sent it off to him for a service and repair.

John called me to tell me what was wrong and what he had done to fix it. Well it got returned and its better than new.

Superb service from start to finish. Highly recommended.
Signed on 30th June, 2017 by Jason Skilton (website: http://ananglersdanglinglog.blogspot.co.uk)
What a man! Fixed two reels which I thought were heading for the bin and at a great price. Excellent turn around too.
Would highly recommend John!
Signed on 29th June, 2017 by Ken Maclean
Excellent service - John was helpful and provided useful info over the phone. Items received quickly by registered post, packaged perfectly & exactly as ordered! Would highly recommend!

A friend recommended John's reel servicing to me and I was so glad they did! My 20 year old abu multipliers that have taken so much stick over the years lure fishing for pike came back silky smooth and run like new! Thanks John!

Sent John my Shimano reel, more than happy with the end result. Highly recommend him, pass his name on to others as he is the man we all need for our repairs.
Once again John many thanks for repair, Stephen
Signed on 11th June, 2017 by Stephen M
A really good and competitively priced service . Reel was repaired, serviced and back to me within a couple of days. Highly recommended.
Signed on 11th June, 2017 by Simon Locke
I can't recommend John's services highly enough,i was given his number by a tackle shop after both of my okuma sea reals failed after a weekend fishing trip, I had given up on them and was looking at a renewal cost of £150 pounds, John repaired them and they were returned for just over twenty pounds. I have recently sent three very tired shimano baitrunners for repairs and service, again excellent value and customer service is second to none, many thanks James.
Signed on 9th June, 2017 by james dean
Many thanks to John for his fast and efficient service. He dealt with the repair to my Okuma Trio BF30 at a very reasonable price and was extremely helpful and friendly. I would certainly recommend his service and will definitely be using John in the future.
Signed on 9th June, 2017 by Tony Wood
This man is amazing, two faulty Shimano 5000 GTE & RE reels, One with faulty oscillation the other the handle jammed solid within the body.
Sent off and returned within a few days looking like new and fully repaired and serviced. All this at a charge of £25.45 which included the return postage.
Highly recommended. :)
Signed on 9th June, 2017 by Phil Smith
Once again John came to my rescue. I got to buy an old JW Young Rapidex centre pin. Some 60 years old. It spun about 4 times then old age had it gasping. Contacted John, who said send it in. He takes delight in having classic reels on his work bench. Within a few days it was returned, cleaned and sprightly and spinning like top. He is an amazing man, and full of Yorkshire integrity, and what good value.
Signed on 7th June, 2017 by joe palmer
These people really do know what they are talking about fantastic service and at a very reasonable price. I will be using you guys again sometime soon thanks for all your help.
Signed on 5th June, 2017 by Tim Huddlestone
A great thanks to John, I bought a new cheap reel off an auction site which after use I thought was great. I tried and tried to get some spare spools to no avail then an email to John, yes we have them in stock genuine and others that fit all at a great price. I rang him Tuesday mid morning and paid over the phone. They were dispatched the same day and arrived Thursday morning what else can I say superb service. Thanks again
