Ensil Group of Companies are involved in the communities that they serve. At Ensil we strive not to just meet the goals and objective of customers but to exceed their expectations.

Just pack and ship your product to us (it is preferable that you insure the product with your preferred courier for its replacement value). Please include with the product the failure report or a description of what the fault is or any other information that you think might help our technicians to quickly diagnose and repair your electronic item. The more information you provide the quicker the diagnosis and repair would be and the quicker and less it would cost to get your items repaired and sent back to you.

Most repairs are completed in 2 to 4 business days, as soon as items are received at Ensil provided parts are available in our inventory.

You will receive a free estimate after we evaluate your circuit board or electronic device. By providing job-specific pricing we can offer our customers the best pricing. Most circuits repairs can be completed for less than 50% of the cost to buy a new item.

Standard repair turnaround time is 2 to 4 business days and rush repair service is same day provided parts are available in our inventory.

Our technicians physically review each item or circuit board sent to Ensil for a free evaluation. They will look for obvious evidence of damage as well as known common faults for that particular item, for signs of previous repair attempts and past record of repair history. Our technical staff will not do a complete component by component test during the free evaluation process. Our customers tell us they like the fact that we offer free evaluations and that their repair prices are based only on an estimated repair cost. Our final repair cost will never exceed the estimated repair charge.

Our customers are responsible for shipping both to and from Ensil. You select the carrier and method you prefer. UPS, Federal Express, and DHL International are the most common carriers that we have found to be reliable. Your account number can be used for return shipping if requested.
