What is a Standard Repair?

A unit which has symptoms and faults with which we are familiar and can be repaired using in stock quality components and fixings are known as a Standard Repairs and can be carried out with a quick turn round time.

<Back To Top>

 

What is a Non-Standard Repair?

A unit which has symptoms and faults which will need further and extensive diagnosis on the lab benches is referred to as a Non-Standard Repair. The repair will be carried out using in stock quality components and fixings but in some circumstances components may need to be ordered. Customers will be contacted if this introduces a delay in completing the repair.

<Back To Top>

 

What happens if my unit has no fault ?

Sometimes after extensive investigation on the lab benches no faults are found with the unit. In these circumstances we contact the customer to discuss the situation. It helps to know all the symptoms and circumstances that are producing the faults. There are many other external factors which could easily lead to wrong fault diagnosis by the customer. It is often the case that we repair units with the pairing of control panel and fuse boards. A No Fault Found Fee is charged for the time spent on investigation.

Will the repair have a warranty?

Can I drop off and pick up repair?

Items can be dropped off for repair. It is important that your repair item generates an ORDER NUMBER from AE web site. Please fill in the details on the order form. It is best to contact us in the first instance so that we can advise you about convenient time for drop off. Once the repair is finished we will either return the unit by post or contact you about pick up date time. Further information click here.

Can I bring my Caravan or Motorhome to you?

Apuljack Engineering is a specialist electronics business working out of labs and engineering offices. Apuljack Engineering does not have a traditional garage/workshop like dealers who carry out habitation checks/services. In certain circumstances it may be possible to visit us with your Motorhome by prior arrangement so please do not hesitate to contact us. In practice we do not do on-site long-term repairs. If in doubt about your needs then please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss the issues.

How does your collection service work?

If you have chosen our collection service then we will arrange a collection from your chosen address and charge you for the service.  Collections are made Mon-Fri and between 07:00 and 19:00 - we are unable to specify a time for the collection.  We will book the collection for the day requested but collection dates are not guaranteed.  If collection does not occur then the customer can contact us to arrange an alternative day. We will email you a label for the parcel that you must print and firmly attach to the parcel. Customers must ensure that the parcel is correctly packed and labelled before the collection day.  If the parcel is not available for collection, incorrectly packaged, a restricted item or over sized (contact us if you are unsure what this is) then we may be charged excess charges by the courier which we will pass on to you.  We do not offer any form of insurance for this collection service.
