SIMCO Electronics Reviews

Busy Calibration House


Manufacturing , Medical Device
04/17/2014

Speed 3 / Price 3 / Quality 4

SIMCO Electronics is a calibration service house that offers decent pricing for their services. Unfortunately, they won’t make an on-site visit if the servicing doesn’t amount to at least $1000 (or pretty close to it), but they will offer to pick up the equipment for calibration back at their labs. Email doesn’t seem to be the best method for scheduling services, so it’s best to pick up the phone to speak to your rep and schedule a visit. On one occasion, I had scheduled an on-site visit 4 weeks in advance. I didn’t receive a confirmation from them, so I called and spoke to the rep and found out that they had been double-booked. She did admit to the mistake and rectified it by splitting up the calibration into two days so both sites could be serviced and didn’t charge for the second on-site day.

Strengths: Calibration Services, Will pick up equipment for calibration, Quarterly email reminders for equipment due for calibration

Needs to improve: Extensive follow-up needed for scheduling services, Won’t make an on-site visit unless there’s a $1000+ PO

SIMCO for your equipment calibration needs

Speed 3 / Price 3 / Quality 4

SIMCO takes care of the documentation and process of calibrating equipment. They are very good at what they do and will come to your facility to actually calibrate the equipment for you so long as your order is large enough. They usually have pretty long lead time to come so you need to schedule in advance. So don't wait until your equipment is about to expire and hope to expect them to be able to come by the next day and calibrate everything for you. The process takes time but they do a good job.

Strengths: Equipment calibration, on-site calibration, professional customer service

Needs to improve: Need to plan ahead with them, they are very busy. They will come to do on-site calibration if your order is large enough.

Great Quality Calibration

Our job requires 70% of outside calibration so we work with SIMCO on daily bases we contact and we set up a drop off pick up day twice a week. so they send a tech to pick up equipment and inform them and they return with information about completed or incomplete equipment

Strengths: * The have a high standard in performing quality work
* Very informative in communicating details and instrucrtions
* They're very flexible with deadlines and meeting thoes deadlines
* Excellent resource for calibrating equipment to help your company
* Very Professional

Needs to improve: * High Priced * Turn around can be slow at times

overall, simco is a very capable calibration house. they are responsive over e-mail, not as good over the phone. they offer equipment pick up and drop off if the calibration service doesn’t meet their minimum PO amount for on-site calibration. on one instance, i found out that they double booked, but hopefully that was just because they were busy while moving facilities.

Strengths: calibration services, responsive, offers equipment pickup/drop off at customer site

Needs to improve: scheduling can be difficult: need to call well in advance and double check as the date gets closer

A Happy Company

Generally they do a good job at calibration of equipment at your location or theirs. Their database seems to be effective at sending notifications of upcoming cal due date, although we don't rely on that. As with any outside calibration vendor, they do require some initial supervision, as they are not immediately familiar with the wide array of equipment they calibrate.

Strengths: Calibration services

They are a decent calibration company. SIMCO is very willing to help out when their product isn't up to par or as expected. However they can be difficult to get a hold of and schedule a time to meet with them. Not sure if they are just busy or they are have too much going on their plate.

Strengths: Calibration services

Needs to improve: lots of mixed scheduling

We utilize SIMCO for all of our calibration needs. Every few months they spend a few days in house calibrating equipment. Those few days onside are extremely productive. However, I have noticed that some equipment takes a whole when we send it in for calibration. It would be nice to get slightly faster turnaround on these jobs.

Strengths: Calibration services

Simco Electronics specializes in calibration services. We had a little trouble trying to get an on-site visit for service so in the end they came down to our facility and picked up our equipment, turn around time was descent took the 3-4 days to get it back to us.

Strengths: Calibration services

Needs to improve: It's difficult to get in site calibration done.

They will only perform on-site calibration for orders >$1000, but they are willing to come by and pick up the equipment as well.

Strengths: Abundant number of standards on file to calibrate a variety of equipment

I had used Simco in the past for equipment calibration. They have excellent service also they are local. There was time that I drop off the equipment and pickup the next day. That is a plus in some situation, also they have decent price on their calibration.

Strengths: Local and decent price

Needs to improve: Not offer onsite calibration

Excellent vendor for calibration needs, but they are fairly busy, so it is a good idea to follow-up with the rep to make sure your appointment is still on the books. They do good work though.

Strengths: On-site Calibration
