For more than 30 years we've been repairing a wide variety of electronic equipment. These days, the cost-benefit of repair versus replacement comes down to a simple question: Can the unit be replaced for half of the repair cost? Of course there are a variety of items which can still be repaired economically. Occasionally the only option is repair, like the gentleman who brought his 1957 Cadillac radio in for a complete rebuild. Obtaining a duplicate radio was nearly impossible, and he was restoring a vehicle to its original condition. We were able to meet his needs at a reasonable price. These days, our electronic repair department focuses on commercial equipment that few other firms want to touch. We, on the other hand, consider the opportunity "fun" and rewarding. We frequently find it easier to explain what we DON'T repair than to list all the items we have, or do, repair. We DON'T repair CB Radios, Copiers and Fax Machines, Ink Jet Printers, Toasters or Kitchen Appliances (there are some exceptions to all of these items, so you'll never be treated like a second-class citizen if you call and ask!) Representative Services The City of Ocean Shores found themselves in a real pickle when two traffic control lights for a school needed serious repairs. The company who sold them the signs was less-than-cooperative when it came to service and it was impractical to ship them to the manufacturer for repair. TechLab was able to step in, learn the engineering behind the signs and restore them to operating condition. A school district in Grays Harbor was paying significantly high prices for a service person from Tacoma to come to service an electronic control system for their heating and cooling. We studied the manuals, learned the system, and have been able to provide their service and repair at less than half the hourly rate of the Tacoma boys. Working with our Two-Way Radio department, we routinely perform repairs to the paging and two-way radio system belonging to Westside Communications.
