Scope of Work

A preventative maintenance (PM) agreement provides your fitness facilities with a regular servicing schedule for preventative maintenance, along with a provision for making repairs.  During each PM visit, The Dealtech Fitness Repair Comapny's trained and certified technician will inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust, perform operational diagnostics, and troubleshoot potential problems with your equipment.  Repairs considered to be minor will also be made.

Frequency of Visits

The optimal frequency of visits is based on a number of factors including the age of the equipment, the type of equipment, the physical environment, and expected use. For an unsupervised, moderate-use facility with commercial equipment that's more than two years old, quarterly PM service is typically recommended. In an upscale community where the members are less likely to misuse or abuse the equipment, semi-annual service should be adequate. However, what will be lacking is a more frequent verification that all equipment safety features are operating properly.


The optimal frequency of visits is based on a number of factors including the age of the equipment, the type of equipment, the physical environment, and expected use. For an unsupervised, moderate-use apartment environment, with light-commercial equipment that's more than a year old, quarterly PM service is recommended, providing you with the most effective balance of cost and care.


The optimal frequency of visits is based on a number of factors including the age of the equipment, the type of equipment, the physical environment, and expected use.  Assuming moderate use of new light-commercial equipment in a well-maintained facility, semi-annual PM service should be effective.

The optimal frequency of visits is based on a number of factors including the age of the equipment, the type of equipment, the physical environment, and expected use.  In a hotel environment, where utilization is fairly low but customer safety and satisfaction are critical factors, quarterly PM service is strongly recommended.


The optimal frequency of visits is based on a number of factors including the quality and age of the equipment, the physical environment, the expected hours and type of use, and management's objectives. For a moderate-use facility with commercial equipment that's several years old, quarterly PM service is typically recommended. This appears to be aligned with the company's objective of providing a quality exercise environment for its employees.

Repair Labor

If you determine that service is required because of a malfunction in the operation of a piece of equipment, you should contact The Dealtech Repair Company.  If it is determined that a technician must be dispatched to your facility for problem diagnosis and/or repair, the cost for this service will be billed at the trip and hourly labor rates specified in the agreement.  Of course, if the failing equipment is still under the manufacturer's labor warranty, you will not be billed for any charges.

If the nature of a problem warrants you taking a unit out of service, The Dealtech Fitness Repair Company's goal is to be on-site at your facility within 24 hours and to restore your equipment to full operation at the initial service visit. 

Customers with preventative maintenance contracts in place will be given priority response and service.


Parts

Only original equipment manufacturers parts will be used for repairs.  Although in many cases specific parts may be available through third-party suppliers, these may or may not be of equivalent quality and reliability.  Typically, exceptions will be made only for repairs to older equipment, where the goal is to extend its operational life as cost-effectively as possible. 


If we purchase a part to repair your equipment and the part does not correct the problem, you will not be responsible for the cost of that part or the associated labor for installing it.
