Service Department Rates:
Standard Rates: R275 per 1/2 hour
Urgent Rates: 375 per 1/2 hour
Minimum Assessment Fee: R200
Service Department Terms and Conditions:
1. Due to the highly technical and specialized nature of repairs, we regret that we are unable to provide an estimated cost or time duration beforehand. However a service representative will contact you should the repair EXCEED the following thresholds:
* Non-Valve Repairs: R 825.00
* Valve Amplification Repairs: R 1800.00
1.1. In the event that the aforementioned costs are not acceptable, a handling fee of R200.00 will be charged.
For example: If an item costs R150 to repair, the Service Department will repair the unit without contacting you for approval, as it’s less that R825. However, if it costs R1000 to repair, a Service Department representative will contact you to clear your approval, as it’s above the R825 threshold. If you choose not to go ahead with the repair, you will only pay R200 for the minimum assessment fee.
2. No repairs can be carried out under guarantee unless the original proof of purchase is produced.
3. Please note that the guarantee will be null and void if, on assessment, the unit has been tampered with.
