TV service has progressed throughout the years from pulling your vacuum tubes and bringing them into the pharmacy to utilize their tube tester, to today’s LCD and plasma TVs measuring 2 meters from corner to corner that have no consumer accessible components. Home Television Repair has progressed from a technician with a ‘tube caddy’ to professional people that have a wide variety of tools and test gear.
Gradually the malfunction rate on consumer electronics dropped considerably and the price plummeted at the same time. Nowadays the consumer electronic makers have pushed the price down to the point that malfunction rates actually are increasing more than where they were a decade of two ago. It's not at all unusual that customers give us a call about a 15 year old TV that functioned flawlessly over that entire time. Despite the fact that it is recommended that TVs that old are not fixed, the caliber of the newer device rarely match the older workhorses.
Because of the falling selling prices and low quality a fairly large percentage of less expensive electronics goes right to the land fill after minor obsolescence or failure. For the higher priced TVs which malfunction, repair can be your best choice. Your neighborhood Television repair center has kept pace with the latest technologies and is ready to take care of your service wants.
At minimum in part as a result of reduced manufacturer's warranty reimbursements by television manufacturers a different sort of television repair man has immerged; the ‘trunk slammer’. The Urban Dictionary defines a ‘trunk slammer’ as:
“Derogatory term for a contractor who has minimal skill, experience and equipment. Trunk slammer implies the contractor works out of their car trunk, with no office or licenses and they will likely be difficult to find if the client is not happy with the work.”
I can add to the above definition that trunk slammers rarely are covered by workman’s compensation or financial responsibility insurance coverage. Without insurance, any sort of accident inside the customers home falls in the homeowners insurance policy. A whole lot worse than that, if the trunk slammer technician injures him self inside the customers home, the homeowner will probably find themselves footing the expenses for a long term disability.
The hard cold reality is that the trunk slammer tech might not just rip you off, damage your home or wreck your TV, they might ruin your whole life. These people frequently have pretty sites and large marketing budgets since what they are failing to pay in taxes, licenses, test equipment and insurance coverage can be spent on advertising and marketing. Over the years there have been a few successful Television service operations which were operated from a really well equipped trucks. Basically a rolling television service shop. However there was just a few across the entire United States and I am unaware of any in the Chicagoland region. Nonetheless, television techs which don't have TV service shops, office personnel to answer the phone, or a business license, You ought to stay away from them.
