At City Appliance Repairs, we are committed to providing a professional and reliable repair service. Please read the following policy carefully before booking or proceeding with any service.
1. Call-Out Fees & Diagnostic Charges
All call-out fees, diagnostic fees, and labour charges are non-refundable. These fees cover the engineer’s time, travel, expertise, and the diagnostic process, regardless of the outcome.
2. Repair Outcomes
Appliance repairs are carried out to the best of our professional ability. Due to the nature of appliance faults—particularly intermittent, electrical, or age-related issues—successful repair cannot be guaranteed.
No refunds will be issued if:
The fault reoccurs after the visit
The appliance develops a separate or related fault
The appliance is deemed beyond economical repair
The manufacturer or supplier no longer supports the appliance
3. Parts Supplied & Ordered
Special-order or non-stock parts are non-refundable once ordered. If a part has been fitted, it is also non-refundable.
Any manufacturer warranty on parts applies only to the part itself, not labour or call-out fees.
4. Customer Cancellations
If a booking is cancelled with insufficient notice or the engineer is unable to gain access at the agreed time, the call-out fee will remain payable and no refund will be issued.
5. Misdiagnosis & Customer Information
We rely on information provided by the customer. No refunds will be given where incorrect or incomplete information has affected the diagnosis or repair outcome.
6. Statutory Rights
This policy does not affect your statutory rights under UK consumer law. However, once a service has been fully or partially carried out with your consent, you acknowledge that the call-out and labour charges are non-refundable.
7. Acceptance of Policy
By booking an appointment, requesting a repair, or allowing work to commence, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to this No Refund Policy.
If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact us before booking.
