Service & Warranty Information
How to Get Service Under the Terms of the Limited One-Year Warranty
When you suspect an item is defective, please check the operator's manual for standard operation and
trouble-shooting techniques that may correct the problem. Additional information may be found on the
M.T.H. Website. Should you still require service, follow the instructions below to obtain warranty service.
First, e-mail, write, call or fax a M.T.H. Authorized Service Center (ASC) in your area to obtain Repair
Authorization. You can find the list of ASCs on the M.T.H. Website, www.mth-railking.com. Authorized
Service Centers are required to make warranty repairs on items sold
only
from that store; all other repairs
may-- or may not be done at the store's own discretion. If you did not purchase the item directly from the
ASC, you will need to select a National Authorized Service Center (NASC). These centers are compensated
by M.T.H. to perform warranty service for any customer whose repair qualifies for warranty service. A list of
NASC retailers can be located on the M.T.H. Website or by calling 410-381-2580. Should the warranty no
longer apply, you may choose either an ASC or NASC retailer to service your M.T.H. Product. A reasonable
service fee will be charged.
CAUTION: Make sure the product is packed in its original factory packaging including its foam and plastic
wrapping material to prevent damage to the merchandise. There is no need to return the entire set if only
one of the components is in need of repair
unless otherwise instructed by the Service Center
.
The shipment must
be prepaid and we recommend that it be insured. A cover letter including your name, address,
daytime phone number, e-mail address (if available), Return Authorization number (if required by
the service center, a copy of your sales receipt and a full description of the problem must be
included to facilitate the repairs. Please include the description regardless of whether you discussed
the problem with a service technician when contacting the Service Center for your Return
Authorization.
Please make sure you have followed the instructions carefully before returning any merchandise for service.
Authorized M.T.H. Service Centers are independently owned and operated and are not agents or
representatives of M.T.H. Electric Trains. M.T.H. assumes no responsibility, financial or otherwise, for
material left in their possession, or work done, by privately owned M.T.H. Authorized Service Centers.
If you need assistance at any time email MTH Service at [email protected], or call 410 381-2580.
