Greg's Electronics Repair Services
(We Service What THEY Sell!)
In 2008, I am changing my business focus for better
efficiency. Greg's Electronics will concentrate on high quality after-warranty repair
service to all makes of computers, and sales of high quality desktops, laptops, and
servers. Service to some home and farm electronics will also continue.
Repair services I offer:
- most brands of big screen TVs and video projectors
(dead sets, poor picture problems, convergence issues, tuner repair, etc.)
- mid to high-end home audio equipment and speakers
(amplifier repair, speaker refoaming and crossover repair, receiver repair, etc.)
- all brands of computers
(virus and spyware removal, hardware repairs, reformatting, data backups, upgrades, laptops and towers.)
- some farm electronics (sprayer controllers, planter monitors, electric fence controllers, etc)
Repair services for all small audio video products has ceased as of this year.
This includes:
- televisions smaller than 25"
- DVD players purchased elsewhere
- VCRs
- portable audio equipment, including radios, 'boom boxes', and CD players.
- personal audio equipment, including walkman/discman-style stereos, and MP3 players.
- All CRT-type computer monitors
- digital cameras
Q: What will it cost to have my unit looked at?
A: Estimates for computer repairs are free, and no deposit is required. Detailed technical diagnosis reports do have an associated charge if you wish to repair the machine yourself.
A: For any items other than computers, a $10 deposit is required
on every job in advance. It is refundable upon repair, and goes towards
diagnosis time, any long distance phone or fax calls for parts inquiries,
technical support, etc. ($10 usually does not even cover 25% of these costs
on most jobs) If you do not wish to have repairs performed, but want the unit
back as-is, a $25 fee applies, to cover bench time for diagnosis and
reassembly. Units that are brought in for repairs but are found to be in
working condition are checked over and test run, and a $25 fee applies.
Q: How do I know I'm not going to get a bill for more
than the machine is worth?
A: Simple. I don't want to do work that I'm not going to get
paid for. Nobody is going to come and pay a $250 repair bill on a $200
TV. Besides that, I have to sleep at night! (This question seems silly to
me, but it pops up with such frequency that there must be a genuine
concern.) You can virtually always get an estimate before repairs are
finished.
In very rare cases an estimate cannot be done before repairs are
performed, such as for a unit that has been dropped, or subjected to
smoke or water damage. In such a case, a "ball park" figure can be
provided, but not an accurate estimate. Such situations are extremely
rare (less than once a year) and you definately would be informed
in advance.
