Repair Prices
I'm revising how I handle my pricing since things were overly complicated before.
Diagnosing the issue with your instrument or gear will always be free.
I charge $100 per hour for repairs based on 15 minute intervals
(so if it only takes me 15 minutes I'll only charge $25, $50 for a half hour and so-on) for labor.
This is basically the same amount I was charging before, just not pages and pages broken down
per instrument/equipment. Most repairs take 2 hours or less.
No repair is too big or small and I won't charge you $80 for a 10 second repair
where all I did was adjust a screw. (I wouldn't even charge for that to be honest).
part of being a local shop is, I won't charge if there isn't actually anything significant
wrong.
Parts costs will also be the responsibility of the customer.
I don't usually mark up parts, other than for sales tax if I got
the part wholesale, or to round up or down to the nearest dollar for ease of transactions.
All repairs come with a satisfaction guarantee, I know often instruments
for schools often sit around unplayed for a while after a repair,
so if I missed something related to the same issue, I'll look at it
no cost to you.
I also price match other local repair shops, if any repair I quote
would be cheaper at somewhere in the greater Seattle area that's drivable
(within reason, we're not talking road trip here) from my shop, I'll
match their price and even change the price here to match.
