If the technician discovers a problem during maintenance, will it be repaired?

If the technician discovers a problem during your maintenance service, they will provide you with an estimate for the repair, which includes both parts and labor. Should you choose to proceed, the technician can often complete the repair during the same visit and will collect the repair fee afterward.

In cases where the repair cannot be completed that day, we’ll work with you to find a convenient date and time to return and finish the job. Our goal is to ensure minimal disruption to your schedule while getting your appliance back up and running as quickly as possible.

One of the key benefits of routine maintenance is that it helps catch small issues before they become bigger, more expensive problems. By addressing these minor concerns early, you can avoid unexpected breakdowns and extend the lifespan of your appliances, ultimately saving on costly repairs in the long run.
