Important Service Information
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. Emailing a few pictures can be worth a thousand words!

Unfortunately, gas price forecasts do not look good.I have seen estimates for $4+ per gallon prices this summer (when most school service is done).To help compensate for this increased travel cost, I have decided to do the following:
Leave service prices the same as previous years.
Schools within a 100 mile radius of our zip code 45373 will have a 14 piece minimum for on-site service.
Schools beyond a 100 mile radius of our zip code 45373 will have an 18 piece minimum for on-site service.
Distances will be calculated using Google Maps “Get Directions”.Use zip code 45373 and the zip code of your school to find your distance then hence your minimum quantity required for on-site service.
Schools within a district can be combined in one or two locations of close proximity to obtain the minimum number.
If you do not have the minimum pieces to be serviced for your school location and still want the service, you will be billed for the minimum number X $22.00 ($308 or $396 depending on location).
