General
Ackley Tech Services charges mobile labor fees per hour to ensure you get what you pay for. Most dealerships and service centers charge a "flat fee" which sets a standard number of hours or minutes to complete the task. If the service is completed in 10 minutes, and the standard rate is 2 hours, you pay the technician for 2 hours! Your RV is a big investment, and it (and you) deserve a service done right the first time. For older RVs with heavy corrosion, multiple owners, or unknown DIY work, it is important to note that stuck fasteners, non-standard wiring, and custom installations may affect the time it takes to perform a quality service.
Estimates
Appointment times are estimates and may be impacted by prior calls. Estimates are based on average times to perform a given service, and actual time and materials will be invoiced. All RVs are different, and manufacturer defects, corrosion, owners' alterations, and other circumstances may alter the amount of time and/or materials to complete a given service. Ackley Tech Services is not responsible for damage caused by age, embrittlement, or wear during normal service or repair procedures.
Warranty
Customer agrees to be responsible for all charges regardless of warranty coverage. In the event customer wishes to bill a warranty company we will make a reasonable effort to provide a detailed invoice & photos, as well as speaking to the warranty company if necessary, while we are on site at the time of the appointment. We do not accept 3rd party billing unless paid at the time of the appointment. Each customer is responsible for their balance, at the time of their scheduled appointment, once work has been completed. Each customer is responsible for understanding the terms and conditions of their warranty contract, what is covered, and what will be reimbursed to them.
Inventory
Please keep in mind we are a mobile service and cannot stock every part that may be needed due to limited space. Depending on what needs repair, parts may need to be ordered or sourced locally. Time spent sourcing a part locally, at the time of your appointment, will be billed at the applicable labor rate. In the event of a needed parts order customer agrees to pay for all special-order parts, and a follow up repair appointment could also be necessary. Follow up appointments may require an additional Dispatch Fee - if this is applicable, you will be notified at the time of the first appointment.
