Elevator use (and thus maintenance and timely repair) is critical to our urban in-fill locations. I have found that with a board replacement, hydraulic line repair, or another fairly sizable repair, the cost of repair equates to the annual service/maintenance plan; therefore we purchase the service agreements. I have found TKE (more than Schindler) to be more open to negotiating terms in their 5+ year plans: cap on annual price escalations, discounts on pay-in-full annual term, etc.
It would be great to hear from someone that utilizes an independent elevator repair/maintenance company on the service level and average annual cost on their elevator if they are not utilizing an Service Contract with one of the big 3 elevator companies.
