The basics of a more worthwhile service experience
TV service has progressed throughout the years from extracting your own vacuum tubes and carrying them down to the pharmacy to make use of the tube tester, to the current LCD and plasma TVs measuring two meters from corner to corner that have no consumer accessible parts. Home TV Repair has evolved from a technician using a ‘tube caddy’ to very skilled people who have a wide variety of hand tools and test equipment.
Gradually the malfunction rate on electronics dropped significantly and the price tag plummeted at the same time. Currently the consumer electronic makers have driven the price down to the point that malfunction rates actually are increasing more than where they were a decade of two ago. It's not at all unusual that consumers give us a call about a 15 year old television which functioned faultlessly that entire time. Despite the fact that it is recommended that television sets that old are not fixed, the quality of the newer product rarely match the older workhorses.
Because of the plummeting price tags and quality a reasonably big percentage of cheaper consumer electronics goes directly to the land fill after minor obsolescence or malfunction. For the higher priced televisions that malfunction, repair is often your best option. Your local Television repair shop has kept up with the latest technologies and is ready to take care of your service wants.
At minimum partially as a result of reduced manufacturer's warranty reimbursements by television makers a new type of television service man has immerged; the ‘trunk slammer’. The Urban Dictionary defines a ‘trunk slammer’ as:
“Derogatory term for a contractor who has minimal skill, experience and equipment. Trunk slammer implies the contractor works out of their car trunk, with no office or licenses and they will likely be difficult to find if the client is not happy with the work.”
Let me add to the previously mentioned definition that trunk slammers rarely are covered by workman’s compensation or financial responsibility insurance coverage. Without being insured, any accident while in the customers home falls in the homeowners insurance coverage. More serious than that, if the trunk slammer technician hurts himself inside the customers home, the owner of a house may perhaps find themselves footing the expenses for an extended term disability.
Hard cold reality is that the trunk slammer tech may not just swindle you, damage your home or ruin your television, they could destroy your whole life. These individuals usually have pretty programs and large advertising budgets since what they are not paying in taxes, licenses, test equipment and insurance coverage can be spent on advertising. Through the years there have been a few effective Television repair operations which were run out of a really well outfitted trucks. Basically a rolling TV repair shop. However there was just a few throughout the entire U . S . and I am unaware of any in the Chicago Metro region. Nonetheless, TV techs that do not have TV service shops, office staff members to answer the telephone, or a business license, I recommend you steer clear of them.
