Disclaimer
It is the customer's responsibility to perform final inspection and verify accuracy before using any repaired gage.
The customer will most certainly want to know the extent of any reading errors which have to be taken into consideration when using these gages for precision work.
Although the gages may leave our premises in top-notch condition, we can not be held responsible for gages going out of calibration during the stress and turmoil of shipment. This applies even in cases where calibration certificates are supplied.

Free Quotes
Send your instruments along with shipping papers requesting a repair quote. We'll be able to e-mail you a quote as soon as the instrument arrives. Be sure to include your e-mail. Keep in mind, a repair can proceed faster if quotes are not required. With the exception of the fixed repair costs listed above, we will not make any repairs in excess of 40% of the published cost of a new instrument without obtaining the owner's permission.
