As a guide, the time taken for Standard Repairs is 10 working days upon receipt of the goods but on occasions, for operational reasons, this cannot be guaranteed.
For Non-standard Repairs the time needed to complete the repair cannot be determined in advance due to the nature of the repair/faults necessitating further diagnostic and investigation work. Ordering specialist parts and components may introduce an additional time delay.
Sometimes after extensive investigation and testing no faults are found with the unit a No Fault Found Fee is charged for the time spent on the unit.
