Amplifier repair charges

All amplifier repairs will incur a minimum charge of £25; this includes our bench fee to open it up do some tests to find out what's wrong & the labour time involved to fix it too, if it takes less than an hour.
Please do not bring your amp to us if you are not willing to spend £25 finding out that it's not economical to repair.
Our labour rate is £25 per hour thereafter, if we feel that the amp is going to be uneconomical to repair or is going to cost more than a maximum budget you have given us, or a new replacement, we will contact you.
Minor components are included in our hourly rate but more costly items such as valves or transformers etc are not.
We guarantee to undertake all repairs correctly & only use reliable parts that wont fail quickly.
We cannot guarantee that other faults will not emerge elsewhere on the equipment once it has left our workshop. In the unlikely event that we cannot tell you what’s wrong with your amp there will be no charge.
Please note it is very difficult to give quotes on amp repairs, as usually by the time we know what’s wrong with it we have fixed it.
Your name address, telephone number, email address (if applicable) will be required before any work can commence.
A description of any fault(s) is always useful & please notify us if another technician etc has already looked at the equipment!
All bills will be settled on completion of work to your satisfaction (see payment details below). For assistance, or help with any queries, please contact us.

We accept payment by cheque, cash or PayPal.
