I took the device in to Coast Electronics with the two SIMM boards in hand, and Eric knew immediately and exactly how to install them. The other great thing is that he didn't charge a fortune to do this, which I was very grateful for. If you need anything repaired or worked on, Eric is your man. Very pleasant and friendly guy even though I was interrupting another project he was already involved in. Thanks, Eric!!

I've brought several guitar amplifiers, to Dan, over the last 20 years, for repair. He has always…read morebeen communicative, affordable and efficient.

I have also bought a couple used vinyl turntables from him (one that ended up having an issue that he happily replaced)!! Service has always been excellent!

Took a vintage Marantz Receiver to Chiwees Audio Repair as both channels were intermittently…read morecutting out and distorting regardless of input selection. Unit was serviced but no parts were replaced. The issue was not solved. Within a week of getting it back- the drop out and distortion was worse then ever. In addition, When I dropped it off the signal strength lens and window was clear and now its blurry as if it got scratched or fogged up. In addition, the FM/Am display now has a light out in the middle of the display even though it all seemed to be properly illuminated when I dropped it off. Panel lights were replaced but now the center of the display is dark. I was charged $160 but my main issue was not fixed. Disappointed.
