To stay competitive in the industrial repair industry, you have to have fair prices on repairs. You also have to guarantee the repair with a lengthy warranty to give additional value. To compete against Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), you have to offer solutions that are attractive in regards to price, efficiency, and value in order to lure customers away from the expensive “replace with new” cost.
At RepairZone, we are very price-conscious in what we charge our customers for a repair. We look at past repair prices and do an average to come up with our posted prices on our website. Our repair prices, overall, stay between 20 to 30% of the cost of new. Along with a 1-year warranty and a 3 to 5 day average turnaround, these are big advantages for us versus our competitors and the OEM. The same goes for remanufactured products and our exchange program. Two more options that save our customers a lot of money.
Finally, repairs allow our customers to hold on to existing equipment longer, thus stretching their initial investment even further as opposed to re-tooling their machines. For example, a 10 to 15 year-old Allen Bradley 1391 Series drive shows superior uptime versus a newer model. Replacing with new could be postponed until well into the future. In This example, the newer drive has required far more repairs than the older one, plus the older drive may show a steady or even decreasing frequency of failure with a steady decrease in maintenance costs.
