How It Works

1. Start Your Repair

Begin by filling out the order form with your contact information and details about your clipper's symptoms. Be sure to indicate whether your order includes clipper repair only, blade sharpening, or both. You can bundle your sharpening and repair for no additional wait time.

Once your equipment arrives at the shop, we aim to complete service in less than one week. This allows us to work efficiently without rushing critical repair steps, while making sure your vital equipment is returned to you as soon as possible.

3. We Diagnose & Repair

Once received, your clipper is carefully inspected and serviced by one technician throughout the entire process.

This process typically includes:
  • Cleaning and disassembly
  • Inspection of internal components, including the circuit board
  • Replacement of common wear items, such as the drive lever when needed
  • Reassembly and adjustment

Every repaired clipper is then tested to confirm it is back to working condition.

4. Your Clipper is Ready to Work

Once repair is complete, a pay link is texted to the phone number on file to pay online at your convenience. Or, if you prefer, you can call to pay over the phone. If you're local, you may pay in-person upon pickup.

Now, your clipper is ready to get back to work. Local customers will be notified by phone and may pick up at their earliest convenience. Mail orders are wrapped in bubble wrap, securely boxed, and shipped back.

If your clipper still has issues after it arrives back to you, we’re happy to take another look at it at no additional charge. Our goal is to return equipment you can confidently put back to work.

"If I could I’d give them 10 + stars they were so nice to talk to. They took care of not only all my needs but handled my equipment with so much care. I had a problem With one of my little clippers, and they offered instead of fixing it to add a newer one. They took such great care in their packing everything and such great care with my equipment. I will be shipping off to them again."

“I have used this company for years and they have always done an amazing job with my blades and equipment. I use Oster A5 clippers and use them on livestock. I love how they package all my clipper blades separately in sealed packages when they are returned.”

Laurel Palmblad

"I’ve been using [Precision Sharpening] for years to take care of my grooming clippers, blades and shears. I’ve actually tried a few new locals but always have returned to Jorden. . The workmanship is high quality. The girls in my shop are never disappointed. I do highly recommend them. When we do speak on the phone, it’s like talking with a friend."

Dianne Falcon

"I've had my dog clippers and shears sharpened for several years at Precision in Shelley Idaho. Very good service. It's worth the effort for me to mail from Cheyenne. I've tried others that travel to Cheyenne but this is a notch above."

Anna Olsen

"Jordan is extremely knowledgeable and their service is fantastic. Our driver was broken and they fixed it perfectly and they sharpen The blades and scissors better than new. Thank you we really appreciate that you’re around."

Caleb Wirth

"My clippers and blades were returned quickly and in beautiful condition. I can’t wait to use them! Look forward to being a customer again in the future. Thank you!"

Melissa Greene

"Jordan is awesome! He kept me updated on the status of my equipment and did a great job with my valuable equipment. Highly recommend."

Raylene Long

"Both oster and Andis have refereed me to him for problems they couldn’t fix and he’s done it multiple times including finding me parts for a 50 year old clipper. . . I’ve never had s problem with his work but I’d be willing to bet if something was wrong he would bend over backwards to fix it because of the kind of man and business owner he is. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!"

Will Jenkins

"Quality service and products, easy to work with family business."

Casey Mickelsen

"Great service and communication."

Questions? We're Here to Help.
How long does clipper repair take?
Turnaround time depends on the condition of the clippers and whether parts are needed. Once your equipment arrives, it’s inspected, repaired, tested, and sent back as efficiently as possible. More complex repairs or parts availability can affect timing. For mail-in orders, turnaround time is also dependent on shipping speed. 

We aim to complete all repairs within one week of receiving your clipper, but during busy periods we may be up to two weeks out. Please call or text 208-701-9191 to get a more precise estimate.
How much will it cost to repair my clipper?
Repair cost starts with a full-service inspection and maintenance fee, $26.00 for standard clippers and $38.00 for large animal clippers. This service covers evaluation and routine servicing; replacement parts, if needed, are added separately. For transparency, we do not perform major repairs without customer approval before proceeding.
What if my clipper can’t be repaired?
If we determine that your clipper cannot be repaired, we charge a small diagnostic fee for our time. This is rare, and often only occurs when we are unable to acquire replacement parts. We sell replacement equipment in-store for the convenience of our customers who may need an immediate replacement. 
Should I send blades with my clipper?
Only include blades you would like sharpened. You’re welcome to include any number of clipper blades in the same box. Blade sharpening is completed alongside your clipper repair, with no additional wait time. 
How do I package my clipper for shipping?
Wrap your clipper securely in bubble wrap and place it in a snug, sturdy box so it cannot move or rattle during transit. Proper packing helps prevent shipping damage. Include your completed order form and the clipper battery and charger for cordless clippers in the box. For step-by-step guidance, please refer to the “Packing Instructions”   on page 2 of the order form, which provides more detailed instructions.

We also offer a Combo Shear/Clipper Blade Mail-In kit that includes space for a clipper. In this reusable, padded box, you can fit 1 clipper for tune-up, 13 clipper blades, and 10 shears.

Order Form & Packing Instructions
Do you repair older or discontinued models?
Yes, we repair older and discontinued clippers as long as replacement parts are still available. After inspection, we’ll let you know if parts can be sourced and whether repair is possible before moving forward.

Call ahead to make sure we have replacement parts on hand or can still acquire replacement parts for your specific clipper. 
Should I repair my clipper or buy a new one?
In most cases, repairing a clipper is more cost-effective than replacing it. The main exceptions are when a major, high-cost component fails and the repair would exceed the value of a new unit, or when replacement parts are no longer available. Outside of those situations, repair is usually the more economical option and can extend the life of professional-grade equipment.
Do you repair other things?
Yes, alongside clippers, we can fix pet dryers. We are a service center for Double K pet dryers and Electric Cleaner Co pet dryers. 

If you have a hair dryer that needs repaired, call 208-701-9191 to get on our waiting list for local hair dryer repairs. We are actively working on becoming a service center for top barber & beauty hair dryer brands.
