Average Repair Cost by a Gun Doc?

Freeze · August 31st, 2011, 15:47

Hey, I just want to ask the quick question of:
How much does it cost for a gun doc to diagnose/repair your gun? (Please tell me the cost for a small repair and the cost of something like an overhaul...)

Yes, I used the search tool.....
I just want to know how much it costs on average....

$20/hr usually costs me about $60 when i get my stuff sent in.

Freeze · August 31st, 2011, 15:52

is that like a small repair or something larger?

MultipleParadox · August 31st, 2011, 15:56

Why don't you contact a gundoc near you and ask for a quote about your specific problem?

Brian McIlmoyle · August 31st, 2011, 15:56

Figure on $60 average for any repair

Freeze · August 31st, 2011, 16:02

ah ok...$60 sounds ok....i was cruising threads and I saw a guy say that he paid around $125 for an overhaul...so I was kind of scared....

R.I.T.Z · August 31st, 2011, 16:06

also remember cost of parts

Freeze · August 31st, 2011, 16:07

ah...true.

But I don't think that wires or shims cost a lot O.o

Gears might hurt.....my wallet -_-"

What kind of repairs are you looking at? Some so called "gun docs" don't charge much, because they haven't really got a clue as to what they're doing. Some others really know their shit and charge 80 to the hour.

Shims are cheap, a KA trigger assembly can cost $35.

Just looking to fix the "click but no firing" issue and properly shim the gears so that I can use a freakin 8.4v battery instead of a LiPo...because LiPos tend to overheat. A lot.

Amos · August 31st, 2011, 20:33

I charge $25/h + parts

Renegade) · August 31st, 2011, 20:35

Hmm Ive been undercharging... Case of beer is my fee, but then again, that is for friends..

Doesn't matter. Repairs are charged by the hour and you pay for parts.

Freeze · August 31st, 2011, 20:54

hmm...ok, now I have an idea of how much I need to pay....

Thanks all!

pestobanana · August 31st, 2011, 20:58

By the "click but no firing" issue, do you mean you pull the trigger but nothing happens?

I got a set of shims for 3 bucks, I got cheap VS shims from AirsoftDepot because i don't see the difference in shims. If a gun is lipo ready, shouldn't that mean it can easily take 8.4?
