The Total Cost of Equipment Ownership: Equipment Repair – When Enough is Enough

Knowing when to replace equipment can be more challenging than any other part of the equipment life cycle. It may seem that repairing a piece of equipment is less expensive than purchasing new equipment all together, but before you start the repair process there are several things to consider.

For example, are you aware of the cost associated with parts that may be required to fix your equipment? More importantly, how long will it take to have the repair completed? Have you repaired this equipment in the past?

J.A. King has years of experience with all types of precision measurement equipment. Our experts have developed a risk reduction matrix which helps you determine at which point it becomes more cost effective to replace that equipment, rather than pay for another repair.

Take a look at the final part in our series “Total Cost of Equipment Ownership” to learn more about our Risk Reduction Matrix and click on the button below to talk with a J.A. King team member about your equipment!
