Hi, response time, Zeiss Southern California USA, usually have an appointment on the same day as the phone call, service usually the next day or two, problem is usually resolved at the first meeting. 
Sometimes parts have to be shipped to rectify problems and that is the rate limiting step. 
In short, service is excellent for us as a service contract customer.
Cheers,

Dear Group
If you have a confocal instrument under a service contract, what response
time do you expect from 1) trouble call to the confirmation to schedule
service? 2) From trouble to service (ideally resolution)?

I imagine time from call to scheduling is vendor dependent and the time from
call to service is also effected by geography.

I'm trying to determine if my expectations are too high. 
Thanks
