[[HIGHLIGHT]]He went way out of his way to make us happy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Knowledgeable, well equipped and willing to help sums it up. I would suggest highly. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]They were great!! I am about to have major cancer surgery and my tv went out. Can't do six weeks of recovery with no tv. He helped me to get everything sorted out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was well worth the drive from Portland to his shop in Vancouver. Highly recommend this place. read more

I took my LG tv to Rex to replace a fried power supply. He's competent, fair, and professional. I recommend him without hesitation.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I could tell on the phone that Rex Ableman would be a good person to do business with. He was very informative, friendly, and sincere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. He confirmed what I was afraid of - I needed a new board for my old LG TV since my toslink optical cable was not working. Unfortunately, there was no date in the foreseeable future when the factory could provide it. Since I needed it for my hearing aids, I had to cancel the order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mr. Ableman was very understanding and gave me some alternative solutions that might help me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely work with him again in the future. read more

Great service! We had two Bose CD players repaired in a timely manner at a reasonable price. We highly recommend Ableman Repair! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Friendly and fast service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thanks! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Wonderful customer service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The sound went out in our 16 year old tv. I already tried following the manual's recommendation to go into the menu and make sure sound was on. Tried reaching out to Best Buy who wouldn't look at our TV that was past warranty. I found Ableman through yelp. He said he could take a look at my TV, but before coming in he recommended that I try a few things one of which was unplugging the TV from the wall and wait a few minutes. Sure enough, it worked. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very appreciative of his honesty saving a trip in and saving $.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will certainly use Ableman if we ever run into any TV or electronic repairs in the future. read more

When my TV with six years of service life began to show signs of failure, I thought I was going to have to e-cycle it and buy a new one. To my satisfaction, that was not the case! Many of us want to see the service life of our electronics extended. Especially in the current market of cost saving manufacturing or worse, designed obsolescence. Rex is the way that you can achieve that goal! I took my TV to Ableman and spoke to Rex. He charges a modest fee to inspect the TV on his bench. Which I think is a fair ask. I'm really happy to avoid the unexpected cost of a brand new TV! All up, my repair costs were much less than the cost of a new TV. read more

Short and sweet. Thought our 50 inch curved Samsung was dead. Took it to this place and he fixed it for far less than a new TV. He's a professional! read more

They wanted 100.00 just to drop off my device...no guarantee of being able to repair it. Then, if they could repair it, added cost of course. Wow what a deal! read more

Always helpful and has very good knowledge of TV issues that might arise. Prices are reasonable and often has good selection of equipment that has been repaired. read more

Can't recommend them highly enough. Before bringing my TV in, Rex took several phone calls from me about an issue with my tv. He found the error code (bad LED driver board), and recommended simply getting a replacement board to try and fix it myself. He even looked up the exact part number I needed and the price it was going for online. Just the fact that he would take the time to do that for someone just calling looking for help speaks volumes. read more

Rex was able to make repairs for us on a circuit board that would have taken us weeks to replace. An true expert in his field. Very highly recommended!! Knowledgeable professional and great service! read more

Ableman took the time to explain, over the phone, what was probably wrong with my TV...then advised me not to try to repair it. Where do you find this kind of honesty today? I was so impressed that I felt that I owed him for educating me on TV's. You know where I am going with my future repairs. Thanks! read more

My old but expensive and loved LCD Samsung TV would not turn on. My own town is pretty small and has no TV repair service. I lucked out by finding this service shop from an online search. I took the TV in on a Thursday and it was repaired by the following Monday. It's now working perfectly and back up on its wall. The cost to repair was amazingly low. I am so happy I found Abelman and recommend it to everyone. read more

I was in need of a tv repair--wasn't sure if I was ultimately going to fix my tv or get a new tv. My tv was fixed quickly for much less than it would have cost to get a new tv. The service was some of the best I have ever had and I trust Ableman's expertise and recommendations. I would give them 10 stars if I could! read more

I couldn't be happier with Ableman. I assumed it would be cheaper and easier to just replace my 4 year old tv when it died. I was wrong. I gave Ableman TV a call and told them what I had. He told me what I could expect to pay and said I could bring it in right away. I drove over and took it inside. 30 minutes later, I walked out with my TV fixed for a *lot* less than I expected. These guys are the real deal. They know what they're doing and are fair and upstanding in business. Qualities I thought had left the electronics repair business decades ago. read more

I bought an LCD TV for $250 on Craigslist for the first time, and was scammed. When I turned on the TV, it had major distortion. Feeling defeated after trying some solutions myself, I decided to go to Yelp to find a repair shop. I saw the positive reviews for Ableman, and gave them a call. I echo the super positive reviews, and it was sooooo worth the drive from Portland to Vancouver! I called ahead and explained my issue, and Rex said to bring it on in. After Rex and Gordon gave me a quick run-down of how the back panel works and where the problem likely would be, I left it there for diagnostics and was told I'd get a call in 2-3 days about what they found. I was expecting bad news. Well, that evening I got a call from them that my TV was ready - it had been a minor cable housing issue that they had fixed in a jiffy. I picked it up the next day, and I only owed them the (very fair) diagnostic fee! Needless to say, I am recommending this place to all my friends, and now you Yelpers. What a wonderful experience all-around. Thank you Ableman for giving me a happy ending to my C-list nightmare. read more

Our second Panasonic Plasma TV stopped turning on this month and I was desperate to get it fixed with 4 kids home during the coronavirus pandemic. Rex took a look at it the same day. Unfortunately the main board needed replacing and given that the 60 inch Panasonic TV was 8 years old, and Panasonic no longer sells in the U.S., the part was not easily accessible with a warranty. We were about ready to dispose of the TV when Rex suggested 'reflowing' the main board with a special high heat machine as a last ditch effort. The soldering machine fixed our TV and for $250 we had it back in working order within a week, saving us the cost of a new TV. Needless to say, we are thrilled with the technical service Rex provides in a timely manner. I highly recommended Ableman TV Repair! read more

The guy is great. He is honest and won't sell you things you don't need. I've been buying lamp replacements and other parts here for years. Support your local retailers that are doing such a good job in our community! read more

If you need a TV repaired, this is the place to go. My husband has used their services many times and they recently referred us to someone who could when it was out of their reach, and it was perfect. They also offer many wonderful services like Roku and such. GREAT customer service!! Thanks!! read more

Great business. The world needs more like this. I called about my TV not working. The gentleman on the phone took my model number and was able to estimate that, sadly, the repair would be more than the cost of buying a new TV. I'm sorry that I didn't get his name. He was kind, honest and generous with his knowledge. I will recommend this shop to anyone who needs TV repair. read more

Just got off the phone with Tom. Very informative, friendly and helpful. I haven't decided whether or when I will continue this project but if it comes down to taking it in for repair...it will most definitly be Tom at Ableman. read more

After calling a number of advertised TV repair shops, and quickly determining that none of them would be able to help me with my disfunctioning TV, I hit upon Ableman. Rex's service was amazing in every respect. He diagnosed the problem over the phone and was able to give me a best guess estimate for repairing it at a very reasonable price. He was also able to fit me in immediately. His guesstimate was right on, he was friendly and very professional, and solved my problem by replacing an IC in one of the circuit boards in a very short period of time. I can't say enough good things about him, and the business. read more

...never did get the mans name..sort of a poet warrior, tv psychologist! He fixes tvs on a whole another level. My advice, break your own tv on purpose , bring it to this guy, and have your life changed by the way you look at tvs, broken or otherwise. He fixed my tv, for cheaper then a new tv, can't wait for it to break, so I can get a new tv to break, to bring back to this guy. Life changing tv repair place. Trust me. read more

Fast, friendly, fair and extremely knowledgeable! I will definitely be returning to Ableman for any future TV or electronics repairs!

I have to say, one of the best customer experiences I have seen. called on a sunday-football day, talked to the owner, he opened his store for me to buy a replacement lamp for my TV. He checked his stock & called me back & said if you can get here soon I have your lamp, I live in NE Portland. MY wife & I jammed up to Vancouver & met him @ his business, not only did he take care of my need on a sunday, his water heater went out & was searching for a part. My problem was for less significant than his, but he still made time to win a customer for life!!!!!!! read more

My Television went out on the Fourth of July no power I thought I would have to buy a new one but looked on line for tv repair I call a couple of places one I called gave me the runaround I called Ableman and talked to Gordon on the phone he told me to bring it in and they would check it out they had great reviews on yelp so I took it in Rex said they would check it out and let me know what is wrong got a call by the end of the day it was the power board Rex gave me the price very reasonable and they would have it ready in a week I highly recommend Ablemans for all your tv repair read more

My 6 year old LG Plasma suddenly went blank. I had a TV repair place come out, I think it was Wolf's? That cost me $85 for them to tell me it was a y-sus board and it would run me close to $500 to repair it. You can buy a new TV for $500 these days. I put the TV on Craigslist for $100, Abelman said they would give me $50. so I hauled the TV over to them and when I got there they said I might as well have them look at the board and see if they could repair it, not replace it. Long story short, they actually repaired the board for $250 and now I have a new TV again. If you have a problem with your TV see if they can fix it before you spend the money on a new one. Good guys. read more

Pretty straight and narrow... They gave an honest estamiate and work was done with good results. Price was a little high but no issues to report to date. read more

So I haven't technically bought anything from them, but they helped me troubleshoot my TV over email and then directed me to another seller for the parts I needed! I reached out to them because of a part swap program that they're running through eBay. Instead of selling me the part I asked them about, they helped me troubleshoot the tv by giving me advice via email, got me to the issue that the local guy never found after keeping the tv for 2 months and then pointed me to another eBay seller for the part I needed! Exceptional service and integrity. Highly recommend reaching to them! read more

FANTASTIC!!!! I brought my flat screen in because the cable hook up in the back got ripped off. I was sure I would be buying a new TV but decided.. why not see if it could be repaired and save a few bucks? I was AMAZED at the level of service. He must have noticed that confused look on my face because he stopped talking in tech language and explained in regular terms, what the problem was and then FIXED my problem. I so appreciated the time he took to speak in terms I understood. They are an asset to the neighborhood and I am lucky enough to have them just a few blocks away. THANKS AGAIN!!! read more

I've been coming here for four years to periodically replace the lamps on my rear projection TV. He is always totally fair-dealing regarding the lamp warranty: provided you bring it in and let him install the light into the little light box, the work is good for year. He keeps the records on file and honored my warranty after 11 months even when I didn't have the paperwork. Honest and highly skilled business. read more

Great customer service very knowledgeable I called and he helped me troubleshoot my tv over the phone first and was very nice come to find out it was a defective lamp so I brought the old lamp back in he swapped it out for a new one because it was still under warranty and that was it :-D read more

Rex and his team of technicians, are about as good as one can find, when your TV takes a nose dive and stops working. Just make sure you enter this place with and mindset of getting a degree in Television Electronics, with an emphasis in the psychology of why these TV's only last 1-3 years. We took our 1 year old 48" Samsung TV (power supply stop working) to Rex and got it back home in lest than 4 days (results may vary). They charged a service fee (Estimate which goes towards the total cost of the repair) and made no promises about the end result, aa they may have had to order the parts to get the job done. These guys are super friendly, super knowledgeable, and quick to educate a customer, about the customers television. And they listen pretty well too (when you tell them whats wrong with your TV). Just don't go in there trying to tell them what to do, how to fix you TV, and how soon you want it back (Stop, listen, and learn). In addition, there are even some cases where it will be more cost effective to jus go buy a new TV, it just depends on what's wrong with your TV. This is one satisfied customer, with 8 flat screens in our large family, and you can best believe that the other seven will visit Rex and his group, should they decide to take a nose dive as well. Thanks again Rex. -Mike read more

Great company for getting TV's or computer monitors repaired. Very nice people, knowledgeable, great customer service. I definitely recommend them. read more

So I found this place online, and I'm glad I did. My TV board needed work( jVC was stuck on the screen), and the work was done in about an hour. Have another TV that needed work, and he told me suggestion on how to quickly fix it. Never going anywhere else. read more

What a nice fellow and GREAT service!!! Can't recommend highly enough! He repaired the unit the same day it was brought in.

I received excellent service from this business! I got my TV back the next day and it worked -good as new! Customer service is 5 stars and service cost is very reasonably priced. They even added an adaptor so I can't (hopefully) break my TV again. I highly recommend for your electronic repairs! read more

Outstanding Service! I tried to fix my TV myself = mistake, I think I made it worse. I called Ableman and the man who answered the phone was bale answer my questions, diagnose my problem and help me. I could not be more pleased with their service. Thank you! read more

Great experience. Paid exactly what was quoted over the phone. Very knowledgable and friendly staff. They explained everything in "laymen's" terms. Would definitely recommend them. I wouldn't hesitate to give them 5 stars based on their services. They need to move buildings. The place is a dump. Their place needs to represent the kind of service and work they do which is first class. read more
