Choosing a repair company is easy when nothing is broken. It is much harder at 6am with trucks waiting. The best time to pick a repair partner is before you need one \u2014 and these twelve questions help you do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Credentials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Are you licensed for this work in my state or city?<\/li>\n\n
  2. Can you send a certificate of insurance naming my company?<\/li>\n\n
  3. Are your technicians factory-trained on my equipment brand?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Response & availability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. What is your average emergency response time to my address?<\/li>\n\n
    2. Do I reach a live person after hours?<\/li>\n\n
    3. How many technicians cover my area?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Pricing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Do you give written quotes before starting work?<\/li>\n\n
      2. What are your call-out, hourly and after-hours rates?<\/li>\n\n
      3. What warranty do you give on parts and labor?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Track record<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Can you share references from similar facilities?<\/li>\n\n
        2. How do you handle a repair that fails again?<\/li>\n\n
        3. Where can I read independent reviews of your work?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          How to read reviews properly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Look past the average score. A 4.6 with 80 reviews and thoughtful replies to complaints is usually a safer bet than a perfect 5.0 from six reviews. On Repairior, check whether the business is claimed<\/strong> (the owner manages the profile and receives your quote requests) and whether it carries the verified<\/strong> badge.<\/p>\n\n\n

          We stopped choosing on price alone. The cheapest quote cost us three return visits and a lost weekend of shipping.<\/p>\nFacilities manager, Dallas distribution center<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n
