On-Call

Something's down.
We'll come fix it.

No contract, no membership, no commitment. You call, we come out, and you know what the visit costs before we get in the truck.

Send photos or a short video with it — it's the fastest way to get the right part on the truck.

Flat rate
One number, before you book.
The call-out covers the travel and the first two hours on site. No meter running on the drive.
No commitment
Use us once, or use us for years.
You sign off on our on-call terms once. After that there's nothing monthly and nothing to renew — you reach out when you want us.
The right techs
People who know these machines.
Scrubbers, sweepers, ride-ons. This equipment is what our techs work on every day — not one of a dozen trades they cover.
What it costs

You know the price before we come.

We publish it because you should be able to decide whether to call us without having to ask what calling us costs. The call-out is flat, it includes the travel, and it includes the first two hours on site. If the job runs longer than that, the hourly picks up from there.

Zone 1 call-out
$295
Flat. Covers travel plus the first two hours on site.
Covers most of the GTA. We'll confirm your zone when you get in touch — before anyone's dispatched.
Zone 2 call-out
$395
Flat. Same inclusions, longer drive.
Further out from our Mississauga shop. Same two hours on site, same terms — the difference is the distance, and it's built into the number instead of added after.

Evenings, weekends and emergency call-outs are billed at separate rates. We'll tell you what they are when you get in touch, before anything's booked.

After the first two hours

$108/hr

Billed in half-hour increments. If the job wraps inside the first two hours, there's nothing further to pay on labour.

Parts

Billed separately

Itemized on the invoice, so you can see what went into the machine and what it cost. Nothing goes in without telling you first.

What you get

What the call-out actually covers.

Straightforward: a technician who knows the equipment shows up, works out what's wrong, and fixes what can be fixed on the spot.

Travel included

Getting to you is part of the flat rate, not a line on the bottom of the invoice.

Two hours on site

Enough time to properly diagnose and, on most jobs, finish the repair in the same visit.

A real diagnosis

You get told what's actually wrong, what it'll take to fix, and what it's going to cost before we do it.

An itemized invoice

Parts and labour broken out, so you can see exactly what you paid for.

Inspections and PMs too

It doesn't have to be broken. Ask us to come out and inspect a machine or run a preventative maintenance service and we'll happily do it, at the same rates.

Any brand

Tennant, Smartech, Pioneer Eclipse and beyond. We work on the machine you own, not just the ones we sell.

A loaner if you need one

If the repair is going to run long and you can't be without a machine, we can put one in its place at our service rental rate.

How it works

Email us. We'll take it from there.

We run our service work by email on purpose, for two reasons. First, you can send us photos and video — and a clip of the machine actually doing the thing tells us far more than a description passed along from whoever was on site that morning. Second, it means our rates, our estimate and your approval are all in writing. That protects both of us: nobody's working from what they think was agreed on a phone call.

1

Email us what's happening

Send the machine and what it's doing to service@3csolutions.ca, with photos or a short video of the fault. That's often the difference between us arriving with the right part and having to come back for it.

2

We come back with the number

You get your zone, the call-out rate and what we expect the work to involve — in writing, before anyone's dispatched. You approve it, we schedule it.

3

We come and fix it

A tech who knows the equipment diagnoses it and repairs what can be repaired on site. If a part has to come in, you'll know that day.

Where On-Call fits

Great for the breakdown. Not a maintenance plan.

On-Call does exactly one job, and does it well: something's broken, and you need someone who can fix it. What it doesn't do is stop things from breaking in the first place — nothing gets greased, nothing gets checked, nobody's watching the machine between failures. If you're calling us three or four times a year, that's usually the moment ProCare starts making more sense than another call-out.

Stay on On-Call if…

You've got maintenance handled in-house, your machines are in good shape, and what you want from us is somewhere reliable to send it when something goes wrong.

  • Nothing to sign, nothing monthly
  • Pay only for the visits you need
  • Flat call-out, published rate

Look at ProCare if…

You're calling more than you'd like, you'd rather the upkeep just happened, or you want the equipment cost to be a number you can budget instead of a number you find out.

  • Four scheduled PM visits a year
  • Up to $900 in parts in year one, then up to $650 a year
  • 15% off your on-call labour and call-out, held for 12 months
  • A loaner on us if a repair runs long

Who uses it

Who On-Call is right for.

Plenty of good operators only ever want On-Call, and that's a perfectly sensible way to work with us.

Operators with their own maintenance

You've got someone in-house who handles the routine work. You need us for the jobs that go past what they can do.

Newer or smaller fleets

One or two machines, still in good condition. A scheduled plan may not earn its keep yet — but knowing who to send it to absolutely does.

Anyone trying us out

Start with one repair. See how we show up, how we explain things, and how the invoice reads. Then decide if you want more of it.

Machine down? Send us an email and we'll come.

Email service@3csolutions.ca with the machine, what it's doing, and a few photos or a short video of the fault. We'll come back with your zone and the rate, and get someone out to you.
