Workshop terms:

Equipment and data risk: PCQ will take all reasonable care to mitigate risks for data loss but cannot be held liable. Devices left in our care are left at your own risk.  For your peace of mind: we are fully insured and have a banking grade monitored Category-3 alarm system and CCTV. We do not offer a “No-fix No-fee” policy as we believe all repairs can be done, unless it is uneconomical to do so, and we will advise you promptly and honestly in the event and we may assist with lowering charges-to-date depending on time-spent -or- provide an offset against replacement equipment.

Additional charges: Should your repair require more time or parts PCQ will always discuss/confirm any options and seek consent to prior to proceeding.

Labour: Time spent/charged for is a estimated “attended time” for an engineer to have worked on your machine.  We do not charge for bench time.  For example diagnostics may require 4-6 hours to complete, this will normally take 15 minutes to be setup and for the results to be checked and we only count the engineer time.

Major data loss or infection repairs: For ease of the client and reduced repair fees/time PCQ will aim to repair a system as it stands rather than perform a re-installation.  This has the benefit of all programs/settings/preferences being as you had it before your fault developed.  The downside is whilst PCQ will take all reasonable care to test/check for any problems if major repairs have left issues we will try to assist you remotely (remote support) or if it continues to be an issue suggest a “Backup/Format Clear/Re-Installation” of your system at a additional, but reduced fee for time and licencing cost.

Disposal: Should any hardware require disposal PCQ reserve the right to advise of fees as it would be classed as commercial waste. In respect to hard-drives and data storage, PCQ can offer a purge-service but always advise clients to retain storage devices themselves (and to personally destroy). If you choose PCQ to dispose of your electronic waste, we only use registered waste-handlers which provide data-assurance as per ICO standards.
