Re: Should I repair my own tanning salon equipment?

I have seen so many poor repairs by salon owners of simple problems it isn't funny. Yea most people can reconnect a burned wire. But 90% of the time the re-stripping of the wire cuts half the strands, or the terminals aren't properlly tightened, or wires are left exposed or too close to each other, etc, etc. And that's if the salon owner even repaired the original issue in the first place.

I think most salon owners know, or should know, their limitations. If you're "mechanically inclinded", then go for it. Otherwise, be prepaired to pay someone like me for 4 hours instead of 1 hour, like my customer did yesterday to diagnose, rebuild, and retube his Mystic that his employee's husband tried to fix and messed up.

Or, also had a customer recently try a simple thing like changing a lampholder on an Ultrasun. Problem is is that they shorted out the wires and ended up calling me out anyway.
