I'm self employed so going out of town for a month wasn't an option for me when it was time to get a new guide. I researched programs and found FIDELCO, and it was a perfect fit for me. I've been really happy with the support that I get from FIDELCO. I opted to own and it's been a good five years. He hasn't slowed down much but I like to get where I'm going, and I haven't slowed down much myself, so it works out good.
