Repairs

Regardless of the warranty coverage a repair is attempted to be completed on the same day.  Early morning appointment might be necessary.  Same day repairs are not available on Fridays or on the last working day before a vacation or a holiday.  Make sure to inform us of the type of repair needed.  

The time required to perform a repair cannot be determined precisely until we are able to examine the piece and assess the damage. There is also a possibility that hidden issues will be uncovered or the process of repairing will unintentionally cause a problem.  Any unintentional damage caused by a repair is a client’s responsibility.  We will not be responsible for any loss or damage caused by a repair. In a case where a cost of a repair might exceed $100 we will ask for you consent first. Work will not start until you give us a green light. Upon completion, cleaned and inspected by our quality control team it will be sent back to you with a carrier of our choice.
