Re: Updated labour charges from the Indesit Company.

They’re all heart…
Re: Updated labour charges from the Indesit Company.

Now that is the best definition of ‘hopeless optimism’ I’ve seen this year.Since when do anything they make last this long :rotl:
Re: Updated labour charges from the Indesit Company.
I suspect these fixed price repair prices will continue to excalate, as each time they raise the prices, fewer customers will find them attractive, except where they perceive the fault to be expensive. This in turn will drive down completion rates, increasing the average cost of the repair, so prices will have to rise again to cover costs.

Doh! Just this week passed on two WMA bearing changes to them. Might end up having to do them myself after Xmas now 🙁 .
Mike.Re: Updated labour charges from the Indesit Company.
Most of the chargeable calls are also sold a D & G policy usualy abot £60 plus a couple of boxes of descaler £20, not a good deal if it is only an out of balance or a blocked pump and nothing major.

But anything over eight years old is likely to be before Indesit got their hands on the GDA products so they will last a lot longer than the messed up rubbish since they took over. I’ve just rebuilt a WM washer and it is lovely.
RobRe: Updated labour charges from the Indesit Company.
Was really thinkin about the chances of your average current 200 quid Indesit being saved at 8 yrs, but if you throw enough parts at it i guess anything’s possible 😯

RobTo be fair, I did a bearing and heater change on an otherwise perfect WM72 last week, so I know where you’re coming from.

Can someone please explain to me firstly what benefit there is in calling out Hotpoint to fix a 5 to 8 year washing machine for a fixed labour charge of £114.99? Secondly does that include VAT? And finally, if the repairs needed to fix the appliance were deemed by their engineer as being uneconomical, does the £114.99 charge still stand or do they reduce that call-out fee? 😕

That is the reason I never tell customers about the Indesit guarantee, £114 call out + £60 d and g policy + £20 descaler. Every job I do on these machines comes in cheaper than troubling the customer with the guarantee.
As for some of you guys doing jobs for £16.50, that just makes me sad to think people have to work hard for that.
You have to have brass balls to ask someone to work for £16.50, I would expect to pay any tradesperson considerably more than that.Re: Updated labour charges from the Indesit Company.
The indesit work only accounts for about a third of my income now, if i have a slow time with my own work i usualy still do okay between the two, also when i get shafted by them touch wood i have so far always had enough of my own to make it up, anybody trying to survive on them only usualy end up F£${e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}$^ed, it is about 6 or 7 years since they looked at the rates they pay Franchise engineers. how many increases in spares and and service charges have they made in that time i wonder???????????????????????????????????????????????
