Service call and diagnosis
A technician comes to your home, tests the appliance and finds the failed part. The fee is quoted before the visit is booked.
- 2
Parts
The part that failed, priced on the written estimate. Replaced parts are yours to keep on request.
- 3
Labor
The work to install and test the part. The estimate shows one total for the job, so there is no meter running.
- 4
Written estimate first
You approve the total in writing before any repair starts. If you decline, you owe only the service call fee disclosed up front.

What the law guarantees you
- Service call fee quoted first. A service dealer must quote the charge for a service call before making it.
- Written estimate before repair. You must be given a written estimate that includes the total price before the repair starts.
- No charge for unauthorized work. You are not liable for any repair charge you did not authorize. If more parts or labor are needed, the new total has to be approved by you first.
- Replaced parts returned. Replaced parts must be returned to you on request, except parts that are unsafe, toxic or exchanged for a rebuilt part.
Pricing questions
How much is the service call?
The service call fee is quoted before the visit is booked, and you get a written estimate with the total price before any repair starts.
Is the diagnostic fee applied to the repair?
Ask when you book: the service call fee and how it is applied are confirmed before the visit is scheduled and shown on the written estimate.
Will the price change after the repair starts?
Not without your approval. If the technician finds that more parts or labor are needed, you get a new total and decide whether to continue.
What warranty do I get?
Every repair comes with a warranty on the work, written on your invoice.
How can I pay?
Payment is due when the repair is completed. Ask about accepted payment methods when you book.
