Repair Services

Description

Repair services are generally offered for US-Made Torpedo Bags, which is the vast majority of the +/-15,000 Torpedo Bags floating around. Most people shouldn’t expect to need this service for many years or at all, if the existence of this page gives you pause.

Please send a photo to us first, before sending the case, because sometimes it’s cheaper to buy a new bag than to repair the un-repairable. We will advise after seeing the photo. Foam/liner replacements can usually be done for $60, while most other repairs are less than that. This can be an extremely smart way to get another 5-10 years out of a Torpedo Bag. It’s an especially good idea to repair an expensive leather bag, since they keep looking better the older they get, and it would be silly to give up that patina if all you need is new foam.

We bill in $40 increments (30 minutes labor), and add for materials later, if needed. To start, place and order for $40, and send the bag to us (Don’t forget! Email photos first!):

We won’t have a final price until we complete the repair. We will bill you for the balance, and will return the bag once a payment is received. The shipping charge you’ll see on this repair “down payment” page will get your bag sent back to you — you will still need to send it to us.

Our priority is to keep your case in circulation at a low cost, so customers should not be expecting a new bag — the idea is to give an old bag new legs, but it will still be an old bag. We do not try to make money with this service, just break even, as we simply want to maximize your original investment. Our cases are always made to last a long, long time.
