Product Repair

About repairs.

For GRS products purchased prior to 2005, please call for parts and repair availability.

If you find your GRS machine isn’t performing like it once did, it might be time for service or repair. Here you can find an outline of our in-house repair process and a general estimate of repair cost for serviceable machines.

Please see our documentation below on repair fees.

* All estimates include listed parts and labor and DO NOT include shipping costs, which are paid by the customer. Some repairs may be covered if product is under warranty. Please note that OIL CONTAMINATION of any GRS machine voids the warranty. If GRS finds that your machine requires more than the outlined servicing and the repair cost will be more than the general estimate, we will contact you to inform you of the additional work and cost.

Questions?

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask us about your repair.

In order to have your machine repaired or serviced, you must first call our Technical Support department to request an RGR. To contact us, please call 1-800-835-3519 or 620-343-1084  Ext. 256 anytime Monday – Friday, 8 AM – 5 PM CST/CDT.

You may also send us a message through our Customer Service form and we will contact you. If sending a machine in, please include foot control and handpiece(s) for testing / inspection.
Ask about our current workload and turnaround time for repairs.
