# Sub-Zero diagnostic visit cost

### What you are paying for

An hour or so of a technician’s time, the codes read on site, and a written scope with a price on it. It exists because the alternative — a figure guessed over the phone — is either padded to cover the worst case or too low to honor when the panel comes off. The fee is credited toward the repair when you go ahead.

### Where the market sits

Service call and diagnostic fees across South Florida run about $59–$129, and many companies credit them toward the work. Ours starts at $95 and is credited. A second unit looked at during the same visit costs less than a second visit.

What moves this figure

Credited toward the repair when you approve it

Includes reading the active and stored codes

A second unit at the same address costs less than a second visit

Whether you go ahead

The fee comes off the bill the moment you approve the work, so on a job we carry out it is not a separate cost at all. If you decline, it is the only thing you pay.

How many units we look at

A second cabinet seen on the same visit costs less than a second visit — say so when you book rather than when we arrive.

How much the unit will tell us

A cabinet with stored codes and a working display shortens the visit. One that has been unplugged since it failed has erased the evidence and takes longer to read.
