The Flat Rate Program Eliminates the High Cost and Confusion of Industrial Equipment Service

Flat rate applies to VCR's, Monitors, Domes, Cameras, Lenses and Pan/Tilts.

Why Flat Rate Pricing for Industrial Equipment Repairs?

A recent poll of our customers has pointed to the fluctuating and often high costs of industrial video recorders as being a major concern. In response to our customers concerns, LRC has instituted the first, fully qualified, flat rate pricing program for industrial video recorders.

What is flat rate pricing?

In it's simplest terms, it is a way for you, the customer, to avoid being nickeled and dimmed to death by the cost of seemingly endless lists of repair parts and labor. You pay one price dependent upon the level of service your industrial Equipment requires with very few exceptions. There are four levels of repair with Flat Rate pricing for industrial Equipment repair. They are: Cleaning, Update, Over-haul and Rebuild.

Why Flat Rate Pricing for Industrial Equipment?

Flat rate pricing helps guarantee the cost of the recorder repair before you send the unit in for repair.

Flat rate pricing means quicker turnaround for your repairs

Flat rate pricing also allows our technicians to get busy fixing your machine instead of losing valuable time waiting for estimate approval. Without the need for estimates the overall turnaround time can drop by four days or more (based upon estimate response averages). This means higher satisfaction for everyone.

Less Confusing

LRC includes both parts and labor into one rate for the repair of industrial Equipment. Standard parts, labor, troubleshooting and testing are all included. With 19 years of experience and over twenty thousand recorder repairs behind us, you can count on LRC to provide you with the latest innovations and programs to increase your CCTV profits and cut down on your CCTV stress.

Technical or Mechanical Troubleshooting

In the event that a recorder requires technical or mechanical troubleshooting, this will be done at a rate of $70.00 per hour plus parts. This amount will be added above the cost of one of the four flat rates (Cleaning, Update, Overhaul, Rebuild). In the event that a unit requires only technical or mechanical troubleshooting and/or repair, but not an Update, Overhaul or Rebuild, the unit will be billed as a Cleaning with additional time billed in fifteen minute increments at a rate of $70.00 per hour plus parts.

All technical and/or mechanical repairs that are done in addition to a rebuild will be called or sent out to the customer in the form of an estimate prior to the actual work being performed or billed by LRC.

Cosmetic Repairs

Cosmetic repairs will be billed in addition to; Cleaning, Update, Overhaul, or Rebuild. Cosmetic repairs will be billed on a straight parts only basis unless the part being replaced adds more than thirty additional minutes to the normal repair.

In the event that a cosmetic repair requires more than thirty minutes of labor, the additional labor will be billed in fifteen minute increments at a rate of $70.00 per hour. Cosmetic repairs will not be billed in excess of one additional hour of service.
