Question and answer
Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.
A. Emergency breakdowns in the middle of the job.
Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?
A. When searching for someone to complete repairs to a piece of equipment it is mandatory to have complete serial numbers as well as model numbers and production dates.
Some manufactures change design and or components 3 or 4 times in a single build year.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. I believe it is better to do the job right the first time instead of having to do it twice. In this industry the exposure to liabilty is so large there is no room to cut corners.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. The challenges of not only diagnosing the problem but also locating the parts needed to fix the machine in a timely manner. Under most circumstances the down machine is causing numerous employees to go home without work.
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. Is my machine worth fixing?
This depends on several different factors. What is the long term plan for the equipment? Do you use it on a daily basis and how often is it breaking down? Are you operating yourself or do you have employees operating it. (tearing it up when your not around).
