CHAPTER 8: Customer Service
At Spectra-Physics, we take pride in the durability of our products. We place
considerable emphasis on controlled manufacturing methods and quality control
throughout the manufacturing process. Nevertheless, even the finest precision
instruments need occasional service. We feel our instruments have favorable service
records compared to competitive products, and we hope to demonstrate, in the long run,
that we provide excellent service to our customers in two ways. First, by providing the
best equipment for the money, and second, by offering service facilities that restore your
instrument to working condition in a timely manner.
