    I'm not so sure about the Shimano warranty anyway. Took my 18000SW into Barrajacks a few years ago as it had a lumpy wind in the handle. Was told the gearbox was stuffed and It was full of water. No idea how that happened other than a little bit of spray while trolling and warm water sponging when it got home each trip. But was told it wouldn't be covered under warranty. Several hundred dollars later I had the reel back like new.

    Makes little difference if you send it to them or get an authorised repair place to do it, warranty is limited, forget the actual year time frame, Shimano make all sorts of gear, from cheap and nasty, to very high end, depending on your intended use (and bank balance) what you need/want to buy.
