Bed down right now? Call (248) 545-5577. Tell us the make, model and what it is doing. Some problems we can walk you through on the phone. The rest we schedule, and we bring the common parts with us.

Three counties, one truck, no middleman

Metro Detroit is where most of Michigan's tanning salons are, and it is where most of our work has always been. The salons follow the big roads. Woodward Avenue from Ferndale through Royal Oak and Birmingham. Big Beaver and Rochester Road in Troy. Hall Road and M-59 through Sterling Heights, Utica and Clinton Township. Gratiot through Roseville and Mount Clemens. Van Dyke and Mound through Warren. Telegraph from Southfield down through Dearborn and Taylor. Michigan Avenue and Ford Road on the west side of Wayne County. Grand River out toward Farmington and Novi. We have been in and out of plazas on every one of those corridors for more than three decades.

That matters for scheduling. Because we live and work inside the metro, we route calls by county rather than driving across the region twice a day. A Macomb call gets grouped with other Macomb stops. An Oakland call rides with Oakland stops. You get a real window, not a vague week, and the common wear parts for your bed are already on the truck.

Why Metro Detroit beds fail the way they do

The building stock here is part of the diagnosis. Many of the strip plazas along Van Dyke, Gratiot, Telegraph and 8 Mile went up between the 1950s and the 1970s, and their panels were sized for a dry cleaner and a party store, not four tanning beds pulling full load on a Friday evening in March. Newer centers along M-59 and in Troy usually have the capacity, but beds still end up on shared circuits because that was cheaper on build-out day. So when a salon calls about a breaker that trips at peak hours or a ballast that lasted eighteen months, we check voltage and the circuit before we blame the bed. Our electrical requirements guide covers what your electrician needs to know.

What we fix

  • Bed will not turn on or will not start a session: power, timers, door and safety switches, control boards. Start with our troubleshooting checklist.
  • Lamps dim, flickering or dead sections: lamp, starter or ballast, tested rather than guessed at.
  • Breaker tripping and electrical faults, including beds on undersized or shared circuits.
  • Overheating and mid-session shutdowns: fans, filters, ventilation and cooling.
  • Timers and controls that drift, stick or will not clear.
  • Lid shocks, hinges and struts on canopies that drop or will not stay up.
  • Acrylics that are cracked, hazed or yellowed, and the output loss that comes with them.
  • Relamping as a full set with the right lamps for the bed. See how often to relamp.
  • Hybrid and red light beds: LED arrays, controllers and the same electrical fundamentals, serviced by the same tech. See red light equipment.

Every brand, every type of bed

We service every make and model, including Ergoline, ETS, KBL, Wolff, ProSun, SunStar, Montego Bay, Sunmaster, Sun Dash and Soltron, along with older and discontinued beds that are still earning in salons across the metro. Lay-down beds, stand-up units, high-pressure beds, hybrid UV plus red light beds and dedicated red light beds. Spray booth service as well. We source tanning parts by request, including for beds the manufacturer stopped supporting years ago.

How a service call works

  1. Call (248) 545-5577. Make, model, what it is doing and which suburb you are in.
  2. Phone diagnosis. If it is a breaker, a timer setting or a door switch, we will tell you, and you may not need a visit at all.
  3. Scheduled visit grouped with other stops in your county, with the common parts for your bed on the truck.
  4. Quote before work begins. One number. Our repair cost guide explains what drives it.
  5. Repair, test at full output, and a maintenance plan so the next call is a scheduled relamp instead of a Saturday emergency. See our preventive maintenance guide.

Installs, moves and used equipment in the metro

Because we service the equipment, we are also the people to call when it is time to add or move a bed. Tanning bed installation for salons and homes across all three counties, red light bed installation with the electrical coordinated ahead of delivery, and new salon setup from layout to startup. Closing or upgrading a salon in Metro Detroit? Call about your equipment. We can tell you what a bed is worth fixing and whether a used bed you are looking at is a deal or a problem.

Frequently asked questions

Which parts of Metro Detroit do you cover for tanning bed repair?

All three counties. Oakland, Macomb and Wayne are home territory, from the Woodward corridor out to Hall Road, Gratiot, Telegraph and Michigan Avenue. Royal Oak, Troy, Sterling Heights, Warren, Southfield, Ferndale, Clinton Township, Dearborn, Detroit itself and every suburb in between.

How is scheduling handled for a Metro Detroit salon?

Call (248) 545-5577 any day from 9 to 6. We ask for the make, model and symptom, and we try to diagnose on the phone first. If it needs a visit, we group calls by county so the truck is already in your part of the metro, and we bring the common parts for your bed so the repair is usually finished in one stop.

My salon is in an older strip plaza. Is that a problem for the bed?

Often it is the whole problem. Many Metro Detroit plazas were wired in the 1950s through the 1970s, and the panels were never sized for several beds running at once. Breakers that trip at peak hours and ballasts that die young usually point at the circuit, not the bed. We check voltage before we blame a part.

Do you service home tanning beds and red light beds in Metro Detroit, or only salons?

Both. Private homes across Oakland, Macomb and Wayne County are a growing share of the work, and red light and hybrid beds use the same ballasts, timers, fans and acrylics we have serviced since 1990. We also install and relocate them.
