Brought my guitar 15 minutes later, they accepted me and were incredibly transparent about the repair, labor, and material costs.

Great service and very friendly!

John patiently listened to what I wanted, provided suggestions, and laid out the work to be completed. He did a truly remarkable job--beautiful, original 50's wiring and an insanely clean seal on the cavity. Maybe for the first time ever, my Les Paul has all the warmth, roar, and chunky goodness it is supposed to, and it is more playable than ever. Pricing was fair and transparent, and when I brought in the guitar a couple days later because of a couple minor issues with the fix, John addressed them in minutes. My go-to luthier from this day onward, no question. Quick note for anyone considering coil-splitting: I won't go into too much detail here, but John has a special trick to get around the issues a lot of folks encounter with thin, cheap-sounding tone on coil-split humbuckers. No, it doesn't make my LP sound like a Strat, but it does open up a whole new range of punchy, twangy, crunchy tones that I did not have access to before. If you are interested in trying out this upgrade, look no further. John is your guy.

Very responsive to messages, solid communication, and a very safe, prompt and careful move brought the piano to me in excellent condition. As the staff finished reassembling the piano, I heard music from the other room where I was working, and was delighted to see one of the staff playing the most skilled and beautiful music from the piano! It was then that I knew they had for sure moved the piano with care. They appreciate the beauty and art of it. Vladimir, the tech who played, came back a week later to provide a detailed cleaning, voicing and tuning. He taught me some aspects about how to care for the piano and clearly knew exactly what he was doing with the instrument. Very fairly priced and very high quality service. Couldn't recommend more!!

In Current Day I found a family - including an 11-yr old daughter desperately wanting to learn to play - to regift My piano to. Francisco & crew picked My baby up this morning, and she arrived safely in her new home. So, mission accomplished. Yayy, Me! Francisco - the face of Paco's Piano Movers - was friendly (treated Me like a human being worthy of respect & compassion), approachable (didn't talk down to Me as if I was a dumb customer), responsive (returned My calls expeditiously), flexible in his dealings (honest pricing & aware of the real life details versus just the conceptual service He provides)... basically worthy not just of these 5 stars, but also the actual dollars that exchanged hands. I was so stressed about moving the piano - I didn't want the recipient Family to toss it in the back of their SUV and get hurt *Bad* or destroy the piano *Worse* - and the pickup took literally less than 15 mins. The entire delivery took about an hour (5 miles btwn us). The new Family was so happy & grateful & excited, and I also felt immense relief and joy at being able to send the piano off to where it would get well loved & well used. Thank You, Francisco & Guys, for making this dream manifest into real life. I Appreciate You :-) sincerely, Shirley

I would give this place a negative star if I could, all because of the guy I spoke to on the phone…read more This place was recommended to me by a buddy and since it's close by, I thought it would be perfect. I could barely ask a complete question as he kept cutting me off when I was trying to explain what I wanted. Tried to tell him I was looking for estimates on simple signs that were budget friendly. I guess the words " budget friendly " annoyed him. He immediately told me to order from Amazon. I responded by thanking him for that suggestion but also let him know that I was more interested in what they could offer, especially because they were recommended by a friend who also added " you won't have to spend too much. His response " your business is not going to make or break me and I'm just trying to help you out." WTH! Where did that come from? So rude and unprofessional. If I wanted a sign from Amazon, I would have searched on Amazon. He wouldn't even allow me to complete a sentence! When I pointed this out, his response was " It's because I'm driving." Again WTH?! Why even answer the phone if you're driving and you're just going to be a a$$hole because you feel bothered?! Everyone talks trash about Amazon but look what happens when you try to support retailers in the community. I didn't ask for his advice! I asked for estimates! I'm not even paying the bill. The HOA is and they probably would have spent its worth to have some nice, professional signs around the building. Guess we'll never find out. At least not from this place. And judging by his accent... I think he prefers to deal with people who look like Tom or Becky anyway. IYKYK

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Premiere Choice Live Scan (formerly located on…read moreAtlantic Ave. in Long Beach, now in Gardena). I initially visited this business to complete a Live Scan submission for my Physical Therapy licensure application. During the appointment, the Live Scan operator, Valeria, appeared rushed throughout the process. While completing the paperwork, errors were made, including issues with information related to my licensure application. As a customer relying on accurate processing for a professional license, this immediately raised concerns regarding the attention to detail being given to my submission. Unfortunately, the situation became much more serious when my fingerprints were later rejected. I currently reside outside of California and was forced to purchase a flight costing approximately $700 in order to return and have my fingerprints resubmitted. The financial burden, stress, and inconvenience caused by this situation were significant. After the resubmission, I learned that there was still an issue associated with the Live Scan submission. I was informed that the rejection involved a quality control-related error connected to information that should have been properly entered by the Live Scan operator. According to the agency handling my licensure application, this type of issue was unusual and created additional delays in my licensing process. What has been even more frustrating than the original error has been the lack of communication afterward. I spoke with Stacey, who advised me that she would contact me the following morning to assist with resolving the matter. Unfortunately, I never received the promised follow-up communication. Since then, I have attempted to contact the office repeatedly. I have called more than 25 times over the course of approximately two hours without receiving assistance. I was informed that staff were on break, but as a customer dealing with a time-sensitive licensure issue that has already cost me substantial money and delayed my professional career, the inability to reach anyone for help has been extremely frustrating. The overall customer service experience has left me feeling ignored and unsupported during a situation that was not caused by me. As someone pursuing professional licensure, accuracy and responsiveness are critical, and I did not receive either. Instead, I experienced repeated errors, significant delays, unexpected travel expenses, and a lack of communication when I attempted to seek assistance. Based on my personal experience, I would strongly encourage anyone using this business for Physical Therapy licensure or other professional licensing Live Scan services to carefully review every document before leaving the office and verify that all information has been entered correctly. A mistake in this process can result in costly delays and significant inconvenience. I do not typically leave negative reviews, but the combination of documentation errors, licensing delays, lack of follow-up, and inability to reach staff when assistance was needed compelled me to share my experience. I ultimately had to seek alternative solutions elsewhere while continuing to deal with the consequences of these issues. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and improves both quality control procedures and customer communication so that future customers do not experience similar problems.

Paloma is a seasoned professional with an absolutely beautiful voice, and she made the entire process approachable, easy to digest, and genuinely fun. She taught me how the voice truly works--breath support, diaphragm use, vocal anatomy, resonance, tongue placement, and effective exercises that rebuilt my voice with care and intention. Her depth of knowledge is exceptional, yet she explains everything in a way that feels clear and accessible. Most importantly, I felt extremely comfortable and supported every step of the way. Thanks to Paloma's expertise, patience, and encouragement, I was able to deliver a heartfelt and beautiful tribute to my mother. If you are returning to singing after time away or preparing for something truly meaningful, I cannot recommend Paloma highly enough.
