I picked up 3 Curado 70 K’s for $100 apiece over the weekend. They’re allegedly 2 years old and look brand spanking new. The handle sounds loud to me and I plan to tear them down a bit over the weekend, clean the oil & grease out of the bearings and gears, then regrease and oil. 
I’ve watched a couple YouTube videos and those guys break the reels down until there ain’t two parts left attached. Is there a real need to go that far with it? If there is, I’m gonna take it to someone and have them do it so it don’t end up costing me a fortune to repair what I screw up! TIA

Personally I’d fish with them before I took them apart, then if no problem detected clean gears and bearings and relube them.

That sounds like a hell of a deal.

It depends. If the reels have been fished hard, then yes, once a year at least. If not much usage like your case, then no, a simple re-oil on bearings and re-grease on worn gears would be fine.

@Delaware Valley Tackle will make each one perform brand new

Without seeing them it’s hard to determine how much attention they need. If they’re really “like new” I’d say just fish them. At some point a deep cleaning is advisable but there’s nothing wrong with interim service (which we now do as well). Go only as far as you feel comfortable. Let me or us here know if you get stuck or need help. Reach out anytime you need service.

I thought it was too. The poor guy ripped all the muscles in his right arm/shoulder and had to switch up and how to cast and reel left handed.
