Material Return Policy


Contact Field Diagnostics Technical Support - (215) 359-3916

The Technical Support Specialist (TSS) will try to diagnose the problem. If a problem with the tool or our accessory components is identified, TSS will identify what must be sent in for repair or replacement; document the discussion, issue RMA (Returned Material Authorization) number to customer. If the TSS is unclear that the problem is isolated to a single component during the call, the customer may be asked to send in complete tool kit. If your product has been determined by the technical support specialist to be defective, they will provide you with instructions for obtaining warranty service or repair service, and a RMA (Returned Material Authorization) number.

Warranty Return Material Authorization

An RMA is required in order to return a product for warranty and non-warranty service. You will have two warranty support options. Option 1: Send in your product per TSS Recommendation for repair and return, which could take up to 15 calendar days. Option 2: Provide a credit card or purchase order, and a warranty replacement will be shipped (typically within 24 hours). The warranty replacement will be used or new (our option), and the original warranty coverage of tool will continue. If the part is not returned to us within 7 business days, you will be invoiced or your credit card will be processed for the warranty part(s) provided.

Non-Warranty Return Material Authorization

When returning an item for non-warranty service please contact Field Diagnostics Technical Support and a TSS will try to diagnose the problem, if a problem with the tool or our accessory components is identified, TSS will identify what must be sent in for repair; document the discussion, and issue RMA number to customer. If the TSS is unclear that the problem is isolated to a single component during the call, the customer may be asked to send in complete tool kit for proper diagnosis. Once the returned product has been diagnosed the customer will be contacted and informed of repair options as well as pricing.

When calling to report claim, the following information will be required:

  • Contact and/or shipping information
  • Serial number of the product
  • Original purchase information
  • A list of component(s) of the Service Assistant that require service
