My receiver which I have had since I was a kid was damaged in the mail, so I brought it over to these guys fort repair. I explained to them all of the different issues, and told them I realized I could probably just buy a new one but this piece of equipment had sentimental value, so I wanted to restore it. They assured me they wouldn’t be a problem, and charged me $275.

When I picked it up I was initially put off by its exterior appearance which was attended to at all. The top cover dented in still from the postal mishap and just dirty looking in general. I thought oh well, as long as it’s working I’ll be happy. When I got home I only had a time to do a quick test run before leaving town for the summer. Upon further review when I returned, nothing I asked to be fixed was working. They told me they needed to charge so much because they needed change out the motherboard. When I looked inside of the circuitry none of the pieces were new, and the board was the original, old and dusty.

I brought the receiver back, and I was told it was past my 3 month warranty. I explained to them that I was gone all summer and this was the first chance that I had to play around with it. They would not budge, and would not even look at my receiver to see if there was anything they could do to fix it. They completely ripped me off. Stay...

The owner is as bent as a dogs hind leg(sorry dogs) Not honest, deceptive, a swindler. There is no shop technician on the staff. Left my Marantz model Nineteen for repairs. After 4 months of 'Round n Round the Mulberry Bush' I finally get an response that the tech ( a contractor tech anyone can deal with) can not work on it, pick up your unit. I pre paid him rike $65.00 fee for inspecting so he saying. My receiver looked the the magicians trick with the watch in an handkerchief, involving a hammer. There were pieces dangling parts falling down off of my Beautiful Marantz . Im like what tha hay ? He dared to tell me thats the way I brought it in when I protested he yelled at me to get out and never come back! I said gladly give me my money back, a bewildered look came upon his face as he said I charged you? I dont recall that & if i did that would cover my gas for driving it to the technicians home. Donna is sweet, but that Snidely Whiplash is rotten to the core. BUYER WET PAINT DO NOT TOUCH ! If I could post this without including these poor little stars I...

I brought four pieces of stereo equipment to his shop earlier today, offered to let him examine them however he wished and I made no material misrepresentations about the equipment. He examined only one piece and then made me an offer, I made a counter offer which he accepted, he gave me cash and I brought the equipment into the store.

As I was leaving he saw something about a speaker he didn't like and wanted to rescind the deal. I was within my legal rights to just walk out but perhaps foolishly I allowed him to back out. His conduct was unbusinesslike and dishonorable, and I do not want to do business with such people. I recommend that you not to do business...
