In most cases, yes, but it comes down to whether your equipment has been damaged, and if it has, how badly.
Unfortunately, certain repairers do such poor work that I may decline to look at the equipment they’ve touched. Why? Because the damage inflicted by certain individuals often renders further work difficult, not viable or even impossible in the worst cases. It’s not reasonable for these issues to become the next well-intentioned repairers problem and unfortunately, all good repairers will know exactly what I’m talking about.
Take a look around the Hall of Shame to better understand what I mean. All of the equipment featured there was very repairable before someone ruined it. If circuit boards have been destroyed, for example, I will often decline to work on a piece of equipment.
