I got a phone message, my homeowners is covering it, they will go after the repair shop so... I am in the market for a lightly used BCS in the New Hampshire area.
Sorry to hear that. I don't think your homeowners will cover your machine offsite unless you have a separate rider for off-property coverage. That should be on the shop owners insurance and that is the first question I'd be asking him.
If you request it in your homeowners for offsite coverage they will.
Update, on sunday a brand new 722 will be delivered to my home from New Haven Power equipment. Because I have a very petite wife who insists she will use it , it will have electric start.
