Trouble with AP repair service
Heres the skinny:I bought my ROO about 9 months ago. It stopped keeping time well so I took it to my authorized dealer and they sent it to AP for repair. This was on 5/30/13.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with AP and their repair services. Am I getting screwed here...cuz it sure feels like it!

Can anybody shed some light on this?Thanks!
