List of Charges for Repair Services
General Remarks about charges for services:
- no minimum charge
- no charge for inspecting and assessing an instrument for repair
- the charge shown for each Level of Service applies only if the work described in that section is requested and performed. The customer is free to specify that not all of the work be done in which case a lower charge will be negotiated and agreed to. Equally, the customer may ask for extra work to be done in which case a higher charge will be negotiated and agreed to.
- sometimes defects are encountered which were not apparent when the instrument was inspected and which only come to light when it is dismantled. If this happens, the customer will be promptly told of the extra work needed and the extra charge. The work will not be carried out until the customer approves of both the extra work and the extra charge.
All charges :
- do include GST
- do not include the price of parts used in the course of repairs - an estimate of which will be given when the instrument is assessed for repair
- include a 90 day warranty against defective parts or workmanship.
