Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common answers to questions we receive.
My item only cost me $xxx new - why is it so expensive to repair?
Not all items are repairable simply because of cost to repair. Sometimes the best advice we can give is to replace the item with a new or upgraded item. Even though we charge under the spot rate for professional repairs, not all items are economically repairable.
I have an old radio/stereo/TV that has been in my family for 50 years. Can you fix it?
Simple answer is MAYBE. Most people do not realize that old electronics may contain obsolete or impossible to find parts making the item permanantly unrepairable. Also the cost to repair could exceed what the item is worth. The vast majority of these items we do NOT accept for repairs. Contact us and lets try to figure out what your options are!
Dad had an old radio that I would like to get restored. Do you restor items?
We are a service, maintenance, and repair shop: we do not offer restoration services due to the cost and the nature of the handicrafting required. Resoration is a difficult business as it is more of a labor of love and not a business. Contact us and lets try to figure out what your options are!
I have this device I want modified - do you do mods?
The short answer is IT DEPENDS. We will only do approved mods and modifications that do not compromise safety. More often than not, the device you have was designed properly and modifying it may render the device unstable, uusable, or unreliable. We will only warantee workmanship on modification work, but not results.
Do you garentee your work?
We do have a limited warantee on items depending on the item and nature of the repair. Do will absolutely garentee an item repaired to not be DOA when you get it. Do to the nature of repairing damaged and failing devices, warantees for items depend on the situation with the item. No shop can garentee an item will "be back to brand-new", but in spite of that we firmly stand behind our work and rely on our expertise in electronics and electronic repairs to do the best work possible.
