Must-Haves in a “Near Me” Repair Shop
- 🧪 Structured diagnostics (power, electronics, mechanical, performance) with a written plan.
- 🧠 Model experience — CT-series vacs and ROTEX/ETS/DTS platforms behave differently.
- ✍️ Approval first — no repairs started without your OK.
- 🛠️ Warranty — workmanship guarantee on the repairs performed.
- 🖇️ Parts transparency — pads, brakes, bearings, boards itemized.
Red Flags to Avoid
- ❌ No diagnostic fee or report (guess-and-swap parts).
- ❌ Vague pricing (“we’ll see”) and no written approvals.
- ❌ “One-size” fixes for suction loss/vibration without root cause testing.
- ❌ Won’t state warranty terms in writing.

What We See Most (and Fix Right)
CT Dust Extractors
- 🌬️ Weak suction → bag/filter/gasket/port leaks vs. motor wear
- 🔁 Auto/Tool surging → socket sensing, selector, or control board
- 🔌 No power → Plug-It lead, switch, or internal protection
ROTEX Sanders (RO 150/125)
- 🐝 Vibration & halos → pad/brake/bearings balance issues
- ⚡ Speed control faults → module/board checks & replacement
ETS / ETS EC / DTS / RTS
- 🛞 Pad slip or poor hold → worn H&L, brake glazing, hub wear
- 🧲 No start or surging → switch, cord, electronics
Book diagnostics when: basic checks (new bag/filter/pad, cord swap, lid reseat) didn’t solve it; Auto/Tool won’t engage; vibration persists after pad/brake; or you smell ozone/see heat marks. Diagnostic is $79.99 (labor only) and is credited toward your repair if you approve. We don’t service tools still under manufacturer warranty—use the official process if covered.
