| NOTES |
|
| Charges |
For
'No surprises' pricing, let us quote! We can be pretty sure
it will fall within 10% or so. If we find something we didn't
expect, we will call you for approval. |
| |
Please
note that labour and materials charges will apply for all work
done up to any point. |
| |
Deposits
may be required on some large jobs. |
| |
Storage
charges at $2.50 per day charged on instruments left over
30 days. |
| Scheduling: |
We
do our best to get your instrument back by your expected date,
performing musicians especially. However, delays do happen (even
for us), so we cannot guarantee date. Please let us know if
it is urgent. |
| |
We
always call to let you know when work is complete. |
| |
|
| Warning: |
Not
responsible for defects in pick-ups or parts not purchased at
Rufus'. Labour charge stands. |
| |
$30
minimum charge on all jobs. |
| |
All
work guaranteed. We stand behind all of our repairs, if the
claim and time frame are reasonable. |
