Compare Tonal's two servicing options: basic in-home repair and advanced exchange service. Learn which plan fits your situation and budget.
Quick answer
Choose Servicing for a quick in-home fix of a specific issue, or Advanced Servicing when the problem may require exchanging the trainer unit.
What each plan covers
Tonal offers two servicing paths: the standard Servicing plan and the Advanced Servicing plan. The right choice depends on the nature of the problem and how much downtime you can accept.
Servicing brings a professional installer to your home to resolve the issue on the spot. It costs less and works well for repairs that don't require swapping the trainer.
Advanced Servicing is more expensive but covers scenarios where the technician may need to exchange your Tonal for a refurbished unit. This includes uninstalling the original trainer and installing a replacement.
Cost vs. scope trade-off
The Servicing plan is priced at $252.80 (regularly $395), making it the budget-friendly option for straightforward repairs. The Advanced Servicing plan costs $596.25 (regularly $795), reflecting the additional logistics and hardware involved.
If you only need a minor adjustment or part replacement, Servicing saves you money. But if the technician determines the trainer needs to be exchanged, you'll be glad you opted for Advanced Servicing — otherwise you'd have to pay the higher fee anyway.
How to decide between Servicing and Advanced Servicing
- Choose Servicing when: The issue is likely a simple fix — e.g., a loose cable, a software glitch, or a worn part that can be replaced on-site.
- Choose Advanced Servicing when: You suspect the main unit may be faulty, or you want coverage for any scenario including a full exchange. If you're unsure, start with the standard plan; the technician can advise if an upgrade is needed.
- Consider your downtime tolerance: Servicing resolves the problem in one visit. Advanced Servicing may require a second visit to install the refurbished unit after the original is returned. If you can't afford multiple days without training, Servicing is the faster path.
