I went in to this shop with high hopes. This is by far the closest guitar amp repair shop to me in Bradenton. Unfortunately, Iwas thoroughly disappointed. I brought in a small vintage guitar amp to have the output transformer replaced, filter caps replaced, the amp biased, and a grounded power cord installed to replace the 50 year old two prong plug that was on it. I was told it would be about a week for the repair and it would cost about $75 - fair enough. It took over three weeks before the amp was finished. When I picked it up Mike, the owner, told me that he hadn't replaced the filter caps because they tested ok (which is not what I had asked him to do!), and had not installed the grounded power cord because he said the amp didn't need it - that everything was just fine without the grounded cord. He charged me the full price of $75 despite not doing the work I had asked him to. Sure enough, when I got the amp home and plugged in my guitar I got shocked. If he had installed the cord like I had asked in the first place this situation could have been avoided. It took nearly two weeks to get the amp back to him because he was always out on service calls when I tried to stop by. When I was finally able to get the amp to him he started to work installing the power cord I provided on the spot. I was thankful I didn't have to wait. When stripping the wire, instead of using proper wire strippers he used a pocket knife, which resulted in accidentally cutting through to bare wire (cursing to himself), which meant he had to cut off about 4 inches from the length of my cord and start over (sloppy and careless). Also, instead of properly desolding the old power cord from inside the amp he simply cut the wires and soldered the new power cord on top of the old wire (sloppy work) When I got home again the I plugged the amp in and it worked great, however I noticed that the power cord had not been installed into the cord retainer, which meant that any tugging on the cord would stress the solder joints and potentially pull them off. Upon further inspection I saw that his pocket knife had again cut through the insulation, exposing bare wire on two of the three wires. If these wires had touched the result could have been deadly! In the end, I ended up doing the job properly myself. It took me about 30 minutes to do it right. I will never again trust this man or his company to do quality work on my amplifiers. His work is rushed, sloppy, and he does not use the proper tools for the job. In addition, his customer service was - to put it nicely - adversarial. The sign on the wall of his shop says "Prices are subject to customer attitude." That should tell you all you need to know about his demeanor towards customers. If you value your gear, stay far away!

Guy has my item for 6 weeks... got it back, same issues...waste of time and money. Not impressed with anything about this 'tech', obviously takes shortcuts or too busy to do it right the first time. Good luck trying to get back any money.

Took my old CB in for repairs the receive was not working properly, the internals are fairly common the ones you would find in a cobra or washington. got it back and it receives but it makes a heck of a noise when you let off the PTT and the xmit is not working like it was before [out of alignment and way down on power] and my clock no longer works. I guess he let that magic smoke out off it and tried to cover it up . I regret even giving him a tip. Total waste of time and money . Here is a tip never pick up and pay for repair service on electronics without hooking it up at the shop and checking it out!

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Component level repairs of circuit boards, design and installation of home and office computer networks. Virus and spy ware removal and computer and laptop upgrades

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    FIRST TIP– try and find a locally owned and operated shop that has been around a wile. If the place has been around for some time there is likely to be more information available on them. A little time on the internet or a phone call or two could help you avoid major problems. SECOND TIP- See if they can provide references, but check them closely as the happy customer testimonial scam is real common THREE– Find out who the business owner is and if they actually work in the business. Many people and large companies buy local businesses and run them as a franchise or strictly as an investment and have no real experience in the field and hire a manager to run the shop. This may not necessarily be a bad thing if you have a good manager but more often than not you only get mediocre service and work and usually high prices from these places. That is because no one has a vested interest in the success of the business they simply work for a paycheck and are often under paid, over worked and inexperienced.
