Excellent service all the way around. Honest, professional and reasonable. Labor for service call was $239 which included trying to repair onsite, taking back to shop for further testing of power board, ordering new power board and delivery of repaired TV. It was due to SDG&E power failure. We ended up spending $560 including parts to repair our 75" Sony Bravia which would have cost us $1,400 to replace. read more

We called California Video Repair when we were having issues with our LG tv. Service and responsiveness was outstanding! He correctly diagnosed the problem over the phone and came out and fixed it in no time. Very reasonable cost, also. I highly recommend them!! read more

Have used for years, great service for VCR and DVD repairs and maintenance. Some movies are only on VHS

James is honest, helpful and saved me $1,000's on my 85" Samsung tv that Best Buy refused to help AT all with! call him before you even consider replacing your TV!!! read more

Have had a few televisions repaired here. Service has been great and prices reasonable.

My Samsung TV stopped working suddenly. I took it to James and he fixed it quickly for a great price, significantly less than the cost of a new replacement TV. He even fixed my broken power button for no additional charge! Highly recommend, would use again. read more

This family owned local business is very professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. They responded very quickly, and held the appointment time. They were respectful of home, property, and TV. They removed TV from wall, diagnosed the problem, and presented an estimate. They have knowledge about my TV and did not recommend repairs because most likely it is not fixable. My TV is under warranty, so I was advised to contact Manufacturer for a new TV. I highly recommend this business, and I will be a return customer when needed. You might wonder why I called on this business when my TV was under warranty. I did call the manufacturer, and their service agent, numerous times. The customer service was untrained, and I had my fill. I am more confident now after California Video Repair's diagnosis, to go forth with dealing with the manufacturer. Thank you, Kelly B read more

I cannot day enough good things about California Video Repair. First of all, they do housecalls! Yes, actual housecalls! Which was invaluable for me because there was no way I would be able to transport a 61" LED DLP HDTV in any vehicle I own. I explained that my beloved TV had blown capacitors about 12-18 months earlier and that I needed someone to have a look at it. They arrived on time and were quickly able to open up the TV and pull the power board with the visibly blown capacitors and a few fried resistors. They took it back to the shop to work on and came back out for the install and test, all part of the original quote (which included the original housecall). Unfortunately it didn't fix the problem, so they loaded up the TV to go back to the shop for additional work. Fast-Forward a few days and I'm informed that there is additional damage to the system, a few components and boards that need repairs/replacing, none of which is a surprise, really. They ask for a few days to properly research to components because the immediately found parts seem "too pricey" (their words!) and they need some additional time to get the most bang for my buck. A few days later I get a call to tell me the parts/labor cost for the job, from which was generously deducted quite a bit of the costs I'd already paid, and I gladly gave he go ahead. Some additional time was needed because the TV was exhibiting some weird symptoms that required additional research even after they repairs/replacements had been made, but I was totally fine with that since the TV had already been dead for well over a year already. Today my TV was delivered to my home as good as new! Repaired, tested, glorious, and cleaned inside and out. As beautiful as the day I bought it and with a full 1 year warranty covering the parts and labor! All this, and well within the budget I had set for myself to get the TV back up and running. California Video Repair has earned the right of being my Go-To from now on. Thanks, guys! read more

Left me hanging for nearly a week when I was told he would call me back with in an hour to schedule an appointment.

Fixed my TV perfectly! Great service and reasonable priced . Worth the drive from Encinitas to Oceanside. I highly recommend!

This was the most unprofessional " service " i have ever dealt with Took my Sony tv , was supposed to let me know what the problem was within two days. Paid him $ 190 when he came to pick up the tv .He told me he would have problem diagnosed within two days . I texted him and called numerous times to no avail. Finally talked to him on the phone and he was" just going to call me to let me know they would be working on my tv the following morning. This was a Friday, a week after he picked up my tv. Heard nothing on Friday or Saturday and he is closed on Monday Finally spoke to him after texting and calling and he told me my problem was the mother board . Part was $600 and would take 7-10 days to receive After 10 days I called him and he informed me the part would be another 5 days ....and that after replacing the mother board there could be other problems !!!! I told him to keep the tv and that i was very unhappy with his service I would never call this business again and caution anyone who does read more

Honest, knowledgeable and great customer service! When my TV went out the manufacturer wanted to send a technician (for over $100) just to take a look. Took my television to James and he was able to diagnose and remedy the issue promptly and professionally! read more

Awesome service. Found this business off Google. Extremely fair prices and saved my ass from buying a new TV and WAISTING money. They fixed 2 of my tvs so far (different tv's both working to this day) highly recommended and a great way to support local businesses. read more

We just had out projected screen Mitsubishi repaired by California Video Repair and we couldn't be happier! Not only was the problem repaired, the color and picture is perfect!

So, my Samsung big screen Smart TV (not quite 3 y/o) went blank (in the midst of a Yellowstone episode!!!). I call California Video Repair, left a voicemail. 10-15 minutes later, Jim, the owner calls me back. He asks me a few questions, then he schedules me for a house visit for two days later. Twenty minutes after conversation, Jim calls me back and asks- "...you sure you don't have an extended warranty?" As I tried to revive my memory, he was giving suggestions of whom I could call to confirm any possible warranty coverage. As it turns out, IT DID HAVE WARRANTY COVERAGE!!! Jim probably saved me over $1,000! We had a total of three phone conversations, he guided me through the warranty process, and get this...nothing in it for him!?1? Who does that today? He is now in my phone, ...I share his contact info with family friends whenever electronic issue arise. Also, I believe it's a husband & wife business, and has been around quite a while. No need to call around, Jim at CVR (760 637-1098) is the only number needed. read more

We got an next day response and James was here within the times he gave us. He did the repair and was very courteous. He found our problem, fully explained it and easy to understand language. Work ethics were great. Would highly recommend for any TV and communication problems. read more

So when I first called, the guy was nice , prompt decently professional. I thought it was off there was so many tvs in the shop just stacked. When I asked him, he said some people never pick them up. No biggie.he said he would have the estimate the next day (Saturday) no call. When I called it was closed till Tuesday. Called Tuesday said it wasn't done. Called Wednesday said he needed to replace the mother board $170. We took the tv in because my daughter had splashed water on the front (not alot) tv started shutting off volume didn't work. We got back in town Friday was not able to get the tv till Tuesday (not for lack of trying). When we finally got the tv out. Scheduled for someone else to take a look. I decided to plug it in and give it a shot. Worked perfectly not a single glitch...... so draw your own conclusion. Besides lack of communication, lack of reliability. The experience was fine. I'm sure he does good work but idk seemed off to me read more

James is a great owner and technician! Quickly diagnosed and fixed my VCR issue. Fair price. Quality service. Love supporting local businesses like these! read more

I've bought 2 TV'S from them and they installed one super service. Friendly, knowledgeable, and went out of the way to make sure everything was done right. Highly recommend them. read more

A friend of mine referred me to California Video Repair. I have a 65'Samsung plasma TV that would not get a picture anymore. I was given a free estimate to diagnose the problem and how much it would be to repair. Repair was reasonable and came with a one year warranty. James helped me take my TV out of my car and even delivered it to my house after the repairs. It only took a week to get my TV back and I'm very pleased with the repair and service. James was also on top of it with communication. read more

I wish every company I had to deal with could be as awesome as this one! There was consistent contact and updates as to what was going on and when I was told I'd receive a call, I got one. The work was done quickly and the pricing was more than fair. I am so happy with my television repair. I recommend this company to anyone needing help! read more

From the first phone call that I made this business has been nothing but professional & helpful. Brought in two TV's that weren't working and they picked up and delivered them after fixing. So glad I found this company. They gave me a great deal and I felt that they were honest and very fair. Always called back in a timely manner with great communication. I would certainly use them again and highly recommend for anyone. read more

James @ California Video is AWESOME! He is honest, fair & a straight-shooter. When the picture on my TV went out he came over, diagnosed & took it for repair.

I recently had problems with our 62" television. Thinking we would have to try to take it in to a shop, James picked it up and offered to deliver it after repair. Although it was beyond repair being 11 years old, James offered to recycle it for as at no extra charge. It was a very pleasant experience. Cost was VERY reasonable. Highly recommend! :) read more
