As far as I know, Shimano doesn’t set a price per hour of work. This is due to the varying complexity of the work, different defects, and specific products, there is no standard. I am publishing to you the prices of an authorized Shimano dealer for typical operations. Knowing the value of these prices will help you understand and make the right decision. Good luck with your fishing!

Shimano does not release that information. However, most repair shops charge a minimum of $50 per hour. Some higher-end shops may charge more.

Shimano fishing does not disclose repair rates to the public. However, most authorized dealers offer a fee per hour for repairs. It is best to contact your local dealer for more information. Thank you for your question! Useful link – https://fishshop.shimano.com/pages/repair

Shimano does not publish or disclose this information. Most fishing reel and rod manufacturers do not charge by the hour for repairs, but rather have a set price for most repairs. For example, Bass Pro Shops charges a $10 flat fee for repairs on any reel and does not charge by the hour.

Shimano fishing charges a $60 flat fee for repairs, plus the cost of any parts that may be necessary. If the repair is determined to be the result of Shimano’s manufacturing process, then there is no charge for labor. However, if the repair is due to abuse or neglect on the part of the customer, then there will be a charge for labor.

Shimano does not charge for repair per hour. We have a set price for the most common repairs. If your repair is more difficult or requires special parts, we may need to provide you with an estimate before beginning the work.
