My flatmate and I just got a 7'slate table. The tech broke it down, moved it(30 miles) set everything back up and leveled it. paid 300.00. I talked to 4 techs in total and prices ranged from 275-400.
Southwest Texas, El Paso area
TX don't have any pool table mechanics!
And what kind of pool table do you own if i may ask?I am not really quite sure where you got that information, do you live in Texas as well?
From a logical perspective do you really think the 2nd biggest state in the country by population doesn't have any professionals to work on pool tables?
There is a list on azbilliards of mechanics, which includes mechanics in Texas, although the list only includes members on this forum who have specifically asked to be added to the list.

I would think you are trying to add to the conversation mate, so I am wondering maybe I misunderstand the meaning of mechanic. Maybe the "tech" I had wasn't a "mechanic", so I rephrased my post for clarification.
The person who broke down the pool table, moved it(30 miles) set everything back up and leveled it, charged us 300.00. I talked to 4 "techs" in total and prices ranged from 275-400.
The "tech" I referenced is from a store front local billiard store, where all they do is sale and repair pool tables. He has no other job other than moving recovering and replacing tables cushions for a living for the store and locals business such as Clicks.
May I ask what part of the country you live in and the cost of having it professionally installed?

RKC, the guy just joined, so he probably doesn't know who you are. He probably assumes you're just another internet hack and not one of the top table mechanics in the known universe.I'll consider the fact that you must not know who i am..
And for what it's worth, store front mechanics are the least knowledgeable for the most part, to call and have work done on pool tables.

DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
Easy RKC.
No kidding! Instead of answering a simple question from a new forum member or simply clarifying your unneeded remark, you come in with the same auto-fellating bull crap you always do. You may know tables better than *most*, but you sure as hell don't know how to simply interact with people.

It's like he sits and waits for the opportunity to jump on people any time anything about table mechanics comes up. I enjoyed hanging out with the guy from tampa who did my table, I can't imagine having to listen to this guy and wouldn't want him in my home if this is how he treats people. Maybe that's why the benefit awhile back cell so flat.
:thumbup: I wondered if I was the only person who got that impression.
