There is a Web site where they give some examples of their prowess in the repair business. I have not been there but you might start by going to the UPS Web site and see if they have a link to Supply Chain Systems (SCS). SCS has a 4 million square foot building just outside the Nashville airport. SCS has an income of some 3 billion dollars a year, out of UPSs 41 billion. They fix all sorts of stuff on an exclusive depot basis. If they fix it, you cant! In Europe they also install X-ray machines and tune Fender guitars. You can take the stuff to any UPS store or even have one of those brown trucks pick it up.
