15-year Spare Parts Supply Guarantee
A few years ago, Team Taro embarked on collecting information on all possible challenges faced by our customers. We then set about creating a system to address the same. The result of this analysis was the 5 Ticks Guarantee Program introduced in the year 2019.
What is the Five Ticks Guarantee?
Taro supports customers in 5 different ways:
✓ 15-year spare parts supply guarantee
✓ Solid overall customer support - 9/10 customers rate us as world class
Incidentally, in the early 2000s, we were pioneers in standing by our pumps with a 2-year warranty.
15-year spare parts supply guarantee
With this component of the 5 Ticks Guarantee program, Taro promises this:
“Spares parts required for servicing will be provided for up to 15 years from the date of purchase of the product. Furthermore, in case of any design change of existing component, modified or upgraded version, equivalent spares will also be provided for a period of 15 years from date of purchase.”
Are we then limiting this promise in any way? Small print? Verbose terms & conditions?
No, we are not! Here is some more information by way of answers to the above questions:
✓ Every component used for building the product is offered as spare parts
✓ Regular, wearable parts can be picked up at authorised service centres and dealers
✓ Major components such as stator & rotor will be supplied on demand
Typically, pump manufacturers and/or sellers limit themselves to 5 years for such a guarantee. But, Taro has increased this three-fold.
Why 15 years?
Taro could have stuck to the industry norm of 5 years but we knew we could up the game to 15 years simply because:
✓ Taro has standardised its designs after years of research & experience and this means miniscule change in parts design today
✓ We have a sustainable after sales market supply chain with consistent supply base
✓ Our dependable storage and scrappage policy of tools and fixtures makes for a seamless experience
✓ Taro can guarantee longer operating life thanks to a robust design and durable quality of components.
But then, don’t take our word for it. Here is what some of our happy customers have to say.
#CustomerCorner:
Ramakrishna Reddy of Bangalore purchased a Taro 4 inch submersible pump a decade ago and in 2020, wanted spare parts. He says:
“I contacted Taro pumps through web-chat at taropumps.com for getting the support, they advised me to visit Bangalore Taro pumps company service division, I have taken my pump set there, they have arranged the spare and completed the service with appropriate repair cost. I am very happy about Taro pumps for keeping the spares for my old set and refurnished as a new set in this pandemic situation.”
Shaktivel of Namakkal has been a Taro customer for many years & across generations and when he developed a problem in his decade-old pump, his problem was solved easily. He further adds:
“Taro advised me to go with the existing motor and not spend money on a new motor. The required spares were arranged within 2 to 3 days and gave me huge money savings on a 10-year old pump.”
