For a service to be valid it has to have a service label from the original manufacturer only obtainable by their authorised service agents, so regardless of competency and willingness if your supplier is not an approved service agent of the manufacturer of your fire system and cannot access the service parts and obtain the service label then they will be unable to give your extinguisher a valid service - not their fault. Most ectinguisher manufacturers will only appoint a company as a service agent if they are stocking distributors of their fire systems and smaller distributors can only usually justify stocking a single range, hence can only service the extinguishers they stock.
