I have had my detector sent in for repairs for over 1 and 1/2 years now . someone from Tesoro did call my house my wife took call but she dident know anything about my detector so she was no help to them or me. but that told me they do have it . does any one know any info on how I may be able to contact them to retreave it even if it is still broken may be able to send it to some one else to repair it . I have called only to have a answering machine tell me it is full .

Maybe get on google earth

got to Tesoro address

go to street view

see what businesses are nearby

look up their phone number and call them and maybe they'll leave your message

and try snail mail....

just thinking out loud....

The company is out of business and now closed.
Vince, the owner, is trying to sell the factory but for the last several months he has been in there attempting to repair machines that were sent in for repair before they closed.
By himself.
The answering machine has been filled and unuseable for many months now and that probably won't change.
You were lucky, yours was repaired and ready to ship back but you were unlucky when you didn't tell your wife about it and a second time when he left a message that you missed and when it was much easier to communicate with him.
Now it's pretty much impossible.
Every once in awhile someone posts they just got their repaired machine back out of the blue, maybe that will happen to you but without having a verified return address maybe it won't.
He is spending his own money on the return shipping and I bet he might have a whole pile of repaired units like yours with owners he couldn't connect with that might take hundreds of dollars to get back to their owners...I don't think I would take the chance and lose that money if I sent them out without verification of addresses if I were him.
Nobody seems to know if he is still repairing and returning them or if he is how long he is willing and able to do it.
He tried to get to you twice now, three times might be a stretch for a guy with that much on his plate but you never know.

Maybe you will come back around and get a call one day, third time's the charm.
Good luck.

Try getting that kind of service from some Chinese made equipment.

Super!

 

[digger27]

Glad it worked out.
So often when companies close down it doesn't.

If I was Vince once I got all the warranty work done I would just downsize to a smaller shop and just repair Tesoro's. He could probably make a good living just keeping the thousands of machines going. I'm thinking about buying another one right this minute...lol.
