Where did you buy it? If its from one of the official NZ dealers then approach them especially if it is a warranty claim. I doubt very much they will be able to fix it but they should take the responsibility of sending it to the US for repairs. But they won't be interested if you brought it from somewhere else.

If you brought it from a US company online then send it back to the main Garrett Factory:
Garrett Metal Detectors
1881 West State Street
Garland, Texas 75042, USA
Email them first.

I have found Garrett US service to be extremely good and fast.

So are: Detection Solutions Ltd & NZ Metal Detectors Limited

But unless the item was purchased from them, they will not be interested in any repair work. Sales not made in the US can go to either Germany or the US for repairs. There was an authorised repairer in Aust as well but I'm not sure if they still are.

Best thing is to just email Garrett US and ask them.

Garrett US is very good they do repairs and servicing but you have to pay freight both ways.

I got given a Pro-pointer by a member here (Cheers Tony) it had a faulty speaker and vibrating motor.
I contacted Garrett US and they offered to repair it for a small charge or send me the parts, I asked for the parts and they sent them for free.
Very happy with them. Hilda was the lady I dealt with.
