Important Service Information
For on-site, at-your-school service, a minimum of 14 pieces of equipment must be serviced. This can be a combination of microscopes and balances. This can also be multiple schools in a district combined in one or two locations within close proximity to one and other.
All major repairs and/or replacement parts (eyepiece, objectives, bulbs, etc.) are an additional charge (upon approval). We will not however "knit-pick" and pad your invoice with miscellaneous additional charges for minor repairs and/or minor parts such as screws, washers, slide clips, etc. Typically, if you know that nothing is physically broken, missing or burned out, there is a very good chance that the base per scope service charge will cover the entire job.
The more specific information that you can provide us prior to your equipment being serviced will help ensure that we arrive prepared as best possible to complete the job. Information such as equipment make, model, estimated age, specific problems, missing or broken parts can be very helpful.
