I know both Kokatat and OS Systems do repairs on their own suits for less than that, but I don't know if they will touch another manufacturer's suit. Wouldn't hurt to ask. Rainy pass is the only place locally I know of that will do zipper repair.

100 bucks for a neck gasket? Yikes!

I'm pretty sure Charles at OAC will replace a neck gasket for less than $100.
He doesn't do zippers though.

For neck gasket, try Leavenworth Mountain Sports. There is someone out that way that does good gasket work for much less. I'm sure you can find someone driving out that way to drop it off. Not sure about gasket.

a neck gasket is pretty easy to do yourself if you want to save money.  there is a great step-by-step you tube video out there.

The dive shop in Anacortes does gasket and zipper repair. I think they were charging $25.00 to do a neck gasket (well worth it). They have several sizes and thicknesses of gaskets in stock
