“Some companies prefer to do all service themselves. Some set it up so the customer needs to go through the dealer to deal with service issues. Some have really set it up so that the products are easily serviceable by the end user. Where do you think the SpinOlution products fall?”
Excellent Question, Amy. We use all the methods of repair service that you mentioned in your question at SpinOlution.
For major repairs or updates, customers can call Mike, the Owner of SpinOlution and mastermind behind the wheel design, to walk thru the repair
Customers can also ship wheels / parts to us for repair whenever they prefer.
For overseas repairs, we usually work thru those over the phone / email to save the customer shipping costs.
For minor repairs and maintenance - your dealer can walk you thru that process.
We have both a Facebook Group and Ravelry Group open for discussing any issues you might have with all our dealers and SpinOlution spinners.
For routine maintenance, we offer videos & education online for how to best take care of your wheel.
Simple repairs are usually done by customers. Replacing flyer pegs, gluing magnets, and dis-assembling heads from flyers are repairs / routine maintenance that you should expect to do sometime during the lifetime of owning a SpinOlution wheel. We have several videos on our YouTube channel that cover the simple repairs. And many spinners enjoy learning how the wheels are engineered!
But if there is a repair that you do not feel comfortable doing yourself, you can always pay to ship the item to us for repair - no matter how simple the repair is. We don't mind repairing items for you. We just need you to pay for the round-trip so we can get you up and running again as quickly as possible.
