i. All parts, on all jobs, are charged at recommended retail price. Any work required above and beyond standard servicing will be charged at the standard labour and parts rate. Our service charges, which detail what is covered in a service, are available on the counter and on our website at www.jenkinsgm.co.uk. Please note, the first service is NOT FREE OF CHARGE. And a repair is not a service.
ii. We do not service machines between April and June other than in exceptional circumstances.
iii. Servicing is menu priced and available on the counter or on our website www.jenkinsgm.co.uk and therefore no estimate will be given, unless work is needed in addition to the service.

i. All machines booked in require a booking in deposit of £50.40 for hand held or domestic pedestrian machines and £99.60 for all other machines. This is to allow us 45 minutes to prepare an estimate for hand held and domestic pedestrian machines and 90 minutes for all other machines. If the time taken to estimate the machine takes longer, you will be contacted to see whether you want us to continue with the estimate, this will be charged separately.
ii. Should estimated cost of repairs be deemed too expensive and your machine be deemed uneconomical to repair, you are able to retrieve your old machine, however the deposit will be retained by us.
iii. Estimates should be accepted or rejected within 72 hours, in order to avoid storage charges.Note – if you do not want to continue with the work having been given a price, there will be an additional charge should you require your machine reassembled.
iv. Should the cost of the job be less than the deposit the difference will be refunded.
v. If we estimate the cost to be under £100 on hand held and domestic pedestrian machines, and £200 on all other machines then we will complete the job. If you require an estimate under this amount please advise when booking in.
