This was the first time (and last) I had to deal with Swashdrive about a machine issue I was having so this was my only customer service experience with them and it was very negative. There are plenty of other awesome machines out there by builders that take care of and appreciate their customers and aren't douche bags about selling spare parts to even deal with these guys in my opinion. If I'm going to lay down $600 for a measly little tattoo machine then I better be able to get simple parts for it no questions asked.
