Q. I really love Galco but I found a lower price from another company. Can you match competitor's repair quotations?
A. We want to keep your business. If a lower price is encountered please call to discuss options. Other repair companies may not have the same quality test systems, repair capabilities, technical support or comprehensive warranty policy that Galco offers. It is important to consider the entire value of the service you are considering.
Q. Will you be able to tell me what you found wrong with my unit?
A. Yes, a detailed repair report from the technician is provided with every standard repair. The report will include details about the type of failure, components replaced, and tests performed.
Q. What if my item is not exhibiting my reported failure symptoms during your repair?
A. In such cases we assume that the problem is intermittent in nature. Galco will replace common wear components that are most likely to be the cause of failure or intermittent symptoms. We then test the item extensively. We work extra hard to guarantee trouble free operation of your item and will work closely with you because it may indicate that an external problem exists. Rest easy, knowing that your repair will be covered for 18 months by our bumper to bumper warranty.
Q. I am unsure if an item is good or bad, do you offer test only services?
A. Please contact customer service by phone (800) 575-5562 or email sales@galco.com with any questions or special requests and we will be happy to review all available options with you.
