Getting things fixed

Article Abstract:

Consumers with a television, video recorder or CD player needing repair can approach a multiple retailer, independent retailer or independent service company, but prices and the standard of service offered varies. A survey shows that independent repairers generally charge less than the large retail chains and that customers are slightly more satisfied with the standard of repair. The choice of repairer is generally restricted for products that are still under guarantee but customers are advised to shop round if repairs are needed to a machine that is out of guarantee.
