Clarifying the Repair/Quote Process

I want to keep this simple.
  • Tools with a RCL of under $200 dollars we do not give quotes. (RC's feel that if the customer isnt' willing to spend up to that amount, they prob really don't want it repaired and it wastes our time and theirs)
  • RCL's do not include tax or shipping, (typically a flat $20 shipping fee, $7.08 fuel surcharge and then whatever tax will be needs to be added to the RCL
  • Absolutely cannot do a repair without a credit card and pre-approval amount if the tool is not under warranty, if you need a goodwill repair, have your RM contact BOB SALAMANDRA head of tool repair for approval
  • Home Depot store tools not under warranty will not be repaired they should be sold before the warranty expires..ie lightly demo'd.  If the warranty expires, please follow HD scrap process and demo in another tool.

Tool Type and Generation

As you know Hilti launches waves of new tools every year.  A couple of years ago Hilti starting attaching generation 02 to the new tools coming out.  The old tools were designated as 01 first generation tool.  It's important when either calling for a warranty check or filling out a tool repair form that you designate the generation of the tool.  It will be on the sticker...ie TE 3000-AVR 02
To help us expedite this process in both repair so we don't have to guess and in warranty checks, please help us by having the ATC or NON ATC/AVR and the generation already figured out.

Hilti Banners

I've gotten several calls over the last few months about you guys needing some banners, my question is what size would be ideal for you guys and where would you display, I've seen requests from the ceiling overhead basically pointing the way or on a pole by the tool corral so when people walk by they know they are by Hilti?  What would be most useful for you guys.
