saving the Earth from electronic waste
After we check the stereo, we will provide estimate of parts and labor first. Should you wish to proceed we will complete the repair and inform you to pick up. The minimum charge will be credited to the total repair cost and the balance will be charged when you pick up the unit.
To improve the efficiency, we have a go-ahead amount for each product category. If the repair cost is less than this amount, we will go ahead without contacting you. If the repair cost is more than this amount, we will call you first. The go-ahead amount is not a flat rate. We will charge the actual repair cost but not the go-ahead amount. It is more to speed up the repair process thus to save time for both sides.
When you bring in the unit for service, please also bring necessary accessories, e.g. remote control unit, system cables, power cord, etc. If the unit was under warranty, please also bring the original copy of the bill of sale. A valid bill of sale should show the store name, date of purchase and the model number of the unit.
We provide in-home service for TV repairs and sound system installation checks. The service call charge is $60 in the city or $90 out of town. The labor rate to check installation is $50 per hour. The minimum charge is one hour labor. If you don't have time during the day, we can arrange evening or weekend house calls. There is no extra charge for evening or weekend house calls. If you require in-home service, please contact us to make an appointment.
If you are dropping off the vehicle to repair car stereo problems, please call us first to make appointment. Some car stereo problems can be diagnosed and repaired on the bench. Others have to be done in the vehicle. If you are not sure, please contact us first to determine.
Pursuant to the Possessory Liens Act of Alberta, goods left unclaimed for 30 days or more will be subject to storage charges and may be disposed of without notice after 180 days (6 months).
Written warranty is printed on the bottom of each repair invoices. Limited Warranty: This warranty only covers those parts which we replaced. We do not warranty the parts in other portions of the unit. The warranty period is 90 days for parts and 30 days for labor from the date the unit is picked up. Future service on portions of the unit, other then those repaired by us, will be charged for at our regular rates.
Out-of-town customers can ship the units in for service. When you ship the unit, please use the original box with its fitting foams. If you use a custom box, please pack the unit carefully to avoid shipping damage.
Please note for in-warranty services, the units must be shipped-in in its complete original package, otherwise a handling fee will apply.

A valid bill of sale should show the store name, date of purchase and the model number of the unit.
