ataloss Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I noticed the service department at Hillkof while having a coffee; and was wondering what is generally the problem with so many machines in for repair, given the high price of many of these machines. I had been eyeing an espresso machine for the home; but have decided to wait. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hilkoff wouldnt reapir my bean to cup, despite me knowing exactly what the problem was (blown boiler element) simply citing coupldnt get parts.. I explained I knew the item, already found it online, and would order it myself.. I just wanted them to do the fitting and they wouldnt.. Not very service minded. Boncafe have reapired a seaco that I didnt buy through them, but they do sell the same model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the two pumps needed replacing, and only one of the four 'pour setting' buttons worked (this was apparently a major job to fix)- it cost 14K to repair, and now works like new. They originally quoted 20K, so I was happy to hear it was less in the end. The repair guy was very nice to deal with and picked up and returned the machine in a Hilkoff truck.

beau thai Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Hi Celcius, When my small DeLonghi was playing up I contacted De L in bangkok via facebook. Very helpful english speaking guy put me in touch with their CM repair agent, out in Mae Hia. After calling him, he collected it, repaired it, and brought it back-under warranty. He was a very good guy and I think a one man band and not expensive. I have just searched unsuccessfully for his card. Maybe if you contact the maker of your machine theywill point you towards their man in CM. If not, you could be cheeky and ask De Longhi for their chiang mai repair guy. he is not exclusive to them. Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the update. I asked how much you guys paid is I wanted to get an idea as to where do I draw the line when they quote a price to a point that I better get a second opinion price. For example I am going to yok intertrade first next to Bangkok Hospital . The tech is coming to my place. If the price is reasonable then ok too high I will go to Hillkoff store. These are the 2 choices. Just because you came in 100 K. Mercedes to get a 30K espresso machine repaired I don't think that they will quote a different price than a local Thai. Big repair shops for cars, electronics and appliances don't charge by " local " and foreigner. That is my presumption. A fruit vendor, vegetables vendors may spontaneously jack up the price when they see who is buying. Then again not in Chiang Mai I am guessing. May be in Bangkok it could be true. In Chiang Mai I see happy faces everywhere. I am only referring to urban Chiang Mai. Any how thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moontan Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 https://goo.gl/maps/uoGNR8UddKo5EcFx7 this place handles a lot of brands. I believe they do repairs. They also serve a very good cup of coffee, which may be a good indicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
