JB was able to diagnose and price the repair for my 65" Samsung TV via text. Although we had to figure out transport ourselves, the service was unbeatable and very reasonably priced. read more

Oh man I cannot recommend JB enough! If you're looking for a tech repair person that is trustworthy, reliable, and reasonably priced this is your guy!!! I had a Soundbar that wasn't turning on. Instead of buying a new one I reached out to JB and he was able to diagnose and find the source of the issue. A tiny microchip literally the size of a pepper corn (but flat, and square LOL). He sourced the part, and repaired my device. I asked how long he's been doing this and he said over 20 years. Extremely knowledgeable and experienced. I got my Soundbar back at a fraction of the cost of replacing it! Thanks JB! read more

Had a woodworking machine with a motor control board that failed and JB was willing to take it on for repair. He quickly identified the issue and offered to repair it and get it back to me within a couple days. But he went above and beyond by suggesting some upgrades to prevent a recurrence of the same failure. I gladly agreed to his suggestion and now have a fully functional machine, running better than it did when new. His troubleshooting and approach, notes and explanations were all top notch and the work itself is exceptional. Absolutely recommend reaching out to JB if you need an electronic repair. read more

Amazing service! The backlight for my TCL TV suddenly stopped working one day so I decided to look on Yelp to see if anyone could help with this, and I ended up coming across JB Tech Service's page. I initially gave them a call but he didn't pick up, so I ended up leaving a message explaining my situation in which John ended up responding by text by the next day! He was extremely polite and attentive in helping me with my needs and ended up fixing my TV for I would say is an affordable price. Go to JB! You won't regret it. Sweetest guy ever read more

Hands down my go-to repair service. Had my 65" Samsung UHD TV crash and in one week I was back up and running. Small price to pay as opposed to buying a new unit. Highly recommend JB Tech Service. read more

John is very honest, communicates well, and provides free estimates. Once he identified the issue, he informed me of the cost, options for repair, and the time needed for repair. The work was performed timely, and he coordinated with us on pickup. The repair worked, and we are pleased with his company and service. We recommend JB Tech Service! read more

Nice guy and very honest and trustworthy. Works out of his home. Fixed a fairly new TV... cheaper than buying a new one!! Warranties his work for one year. Will be back if I have a need! read more

My tv works again!! thanks for all your help! definitely recommend - I actually realized that i forgot to complete my review a whole 2 years ago lol and just went to search for Jb tech again for a new repair. so heres my old and new review :) looking forward to seeing if you can help us with our Sony. Thanks! read more

Had a TV issue, called John and left a message. He called back the same day and answered my questions. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to help fix the TV, but he made me feel better about having to buy a new one... Great guy! read more

This review is a bit over due! But JB tried so hard to bring our Huge TV back to life! He ordered parts several times, kept in touch and tried to make it work! Such a bummer as it was not even 2 years old from Costco! But... with tears and sadness, she died in his arms. He called to let us know! We thought the kick in the grave was going to be paying for labor and parts! He was kind enough to say, sometimes ya win, sometimes they don't make it! We stopped by to say our goodbyes and remove our wall bracket! Honestly he was helpful and honest! Seems like a stand up guy! read more

If you need your console repaired, take it to John at JB Tech Service. I took my Playstation 5 to 4 other electronic repair places focused on videogames and none were able to fix it. John repaired it for me in less than a week and he "does not" focus on consoles but on TVs. The reality is that John is a great electronic technician/engineer that can fix whatever you give him! He is a great/reliable man that will give you a quote before fixing it at a reasonable price. Thanks John! read more

Excellent service and honest guy. Will always come to him for TV repairs.

Great service on my newer 4K 65". He did a LOT more than just repair, he also re-soldered several areas, and adjusted for efficiency. Thank you for your work! read more

Absolutely amazing! We have a 12-year-old plasma Puoneer 50" wall mount TV. It started acting glitchy not turning on and the blue light was blinking eight times. Found John from a referral from another repair company! If that doesn't speak volumes then I don't know what does. John came to our home took the TV apart worked on it for a few hours and then realized the issue was a little more complicated. He took the TV, had it for a little over a week and in that time not only repaired it to perfection but the picture seems better than it was when he initially took it! We literally almost threw this $5000 TV out had it not been for John. Super great guy. Salt of the earth. Don't throw your TV out, call John! read more

I'll never forget when my roommate answered an ad and picked up a free, broken, big screen TV. This was years ago when big screens were crazy expensive. My roommate found JB Tech service, and John came out and fixed the thing for a reasonable price (I think it was $65). And with that, we had a working big screen for our pad and threw a raging Super Bowl party. Ever since, I will never hesitate to recommend John to anyone who is having TV problems. Whenever I hear someone say that their TV is on the fritz, I tell them "I got a guy." The best part is that he comes to you, so you don't have to worry about lugging your big-screen to a repair shop. John is a very quiet, unimposing, sweet-natured dude who knows TVs. It is almost like he is a "TV whisperer" how he stands in front of the TV and lets it talk to him, tell him where it hurts, so he can open it up and fix it like a surgeon. This guy knows TVs. Now, he is a one-man show, so you have to be a little flexible with when he can make it out to you. If he has to call you back to reschedule it was because he was giving his last customer's TV the time and attention it needed, and he will do the same for you. He is a class act. read more

Did a great job with a very fair price. Appreciate their work around the holidays and would recommend them as the ONLY TV service in the RB/Poway area. read more

One would be foolish in buying a new TV before you had JB look at your old one for repair! I now know where to get a good job at a price up front. Don B. read more

I dropped of my 7 year old Samsung 55inch LED TV to John... it would not turn on. The source of the problem was a challenge to identify, John did a great job eliminating possible causes and diagnosing the core issue. He was able to repair the power supply board and provided a 1 year warranty. John charged a very fair price. I couldn't be happier with the service and results. I will recommend JB Tech Service to all my friends who have "sick" TVs. Thanks John! read more

We had an issue with the sound on our television, and found JB Tech Service and thought we would give him a call since he is close by. John asked us a few questions, and offered suggestions for 'fixing' our problem. It was simply an issue with our sound bar, and getting into the correct menu to switch back to 'tv speakers.' We offered to pay John, but, he doesn't charge when he can solve the problem over the phone! This is incredible customer service, especially now when most would charge just for talking to you. Thank you, John! You are number one in our book! read more

These days it is hard to find quality TV repair shops focusing on somewhat older TV's. The decision to fix or toss is not easy. A few years ago I found JB Tech Service in Poway and John has since repaired 2 of my older JVC TV's at a very reasonable price. Both are working as good as new. Thank You, John! read more

I recently called John for a problem I was having with an HTML card on an older Panasonic plasma TV. Since this was not a common problem, he still took the time to ask me questions and then brainstorm what could possibly be done to resolve the issue. I was impressed that he went the extra mile to also offer to do some research on my TV and get back to me - and he did. To me, that's outstanding service and I would recommend John to anyone. Thanks, John. read more

Totally professional & competent. John's troubleshooting on my Samsung 3D LED TV revealed a WiFi issue that was affecting my power issues. Other techs were calling for a main board change. He corrected my power problems and fixed my WiFi - now everything is working. All covered now with a 1 year warrantee. You will want to call John if you have TV problems. - Capt D read more

I dropped off a KRK subwoofer and John was able to replace the bad components. He was very easy to work with and gave me a very fair price for the repair. I couldn't be happier! I will definitely be bringing any other electronics to JB Tech Service for repair. Thanks John! read more

My husband got our 46" Samsung tv fixed here for so much less than having to buy a new tv. The Samsung is a 2008, and really we should be buying a new one. But right now money is tight. On all the reviews for this model, the capacitors are the ones that go bad. There are even DIY videos of changing out those bad capacitors. But when we opened our tv, we couldn't find any that had gone bad. We looked everywhere. The tv wasn't turning on, and was making a "tic tic" sound. Using Yelp as always, my husband found this gentleman and he fixed it super fast. When he went to pick it up, he handed my husband a bag full of the bad capacitors plus the buttons for the volume, power, channel that are on the side. He changed it all! And we had no idea all those were bad! Now our tv works again. Plus he warranties his work for a year. He did a great job and I highly recommend fixing your tv before buying a new one. read more

John, of JB Tech Services, strung me along for months promising to work up an estimate for the repair of my television. I needed the estimate to validate a warranty repair. After stringing me along for months, I begged him to get it to me before the warranty period expired. He stated that he was too busy and that I should try another shop. It will cost me $3K to replace this television and there is no recourse any longer with the manufacturer. Some customer service! read more

Great service and great price. Had my 46" Panasonic back to me the very next day for less even than the original quote. Highly recommend.

Found John on Yelp and called him for a repair based on his excellent reviews. We were not disappointed! John was able to repair a TV that I couldn't get any other repairman to even look at! Good guy and very reasonable. Thanks John! read more

If you need your tv repaired...call John! I would highly recommend him to anyone. He was such a pleasure to do business with. Really knows his tv's. He ordered my part and came and put it in as soon as it arrived. You will be glad you called this guy! read more

Terrific service. After going through a day of wasted time with samsung tech, it's service center, and numerous online tech "services", John at JB tech solved my problem over a telephone call in 10 minutes. I can't say enough about this gentleman for his kindness, professionalism and generosity. He has my confidence that I will call him first if I have any technical issues in the future. He is a breath of fresh air in world where professional service is giving way technical indifference. read more

We'd had a TV fixed by John a few years back, so when another one of our tv's started giving us problems, we called him without hesitation. We described the problem over the phone and he immediately knew what was wrong, sight unseen. He came out and went to work, and an hour+ of highly professional work later, my TV was like brand new again. On top of that, the cost was extremely reasonable. Can't recommend him enough, you won't find many in San Diego as knowledgeable and efficient as him! read more

If your TV is giving you trouble, don't just get a new one. Last week, the picture on my 37" Samsung suddenly looked like I had dropped acid. The options were spending $600-$800 on a new one or to check around and see if anyone actually still fixes TVs. Luckily I found John Barth and JB Tech Service. I dropped my TV off on Saturday and he called me today to say it was done. $150 later (exactly as estimated) and my TV is as good as new - actually better since he upgraded some of the components. WITH a year warranty on the service. If you think your TV is dead, let John see if he can bring it back to life before you drop a grand on a replacement. You can reach him at 858-485-1177. You can thank me later. read more

When our TV stopped working I was wondering if or where there was anyone who fixed TVs these days....well there is!....John was awesome,honest and fair...he found the problem within the powerboard and was able to fix it without getting a whole new board...if your TV is sick give JB Tech a chance before you go out and get a new one! I would highly recommend JB Tech! read more

Our TV died and I tried to fix it on my own from multiple YouTube videos, to no avail. I called JB and he was able to offer a free evaluation. He did the troubleshooting at no charge and was ultimately able to fix it for next to nothing. He was fast, friendly and very reasonable. I hope you don't have TV problems, but if you do, take them to JB Tech. Can't sing his praises enough for quick turnaround at great prices. read more

A guy who goes above and beyond the call of duty. GREAT to work with. shows up on time and is totally dedicated. Gave me a free cable. Fixed my Samsung TV as good as new and - again - was a real gem of a fellow. REALLY THOROUGH TOO. I'd use him again for SURE and recommend him to any one. any time. read more

John recently repaired my Samsung DLP television. He came to my house and did some diagnostics then decided to take the internal parts to his shop so he could do further diagnosis. After about a week it was diagnosed and the part was ordered. It is working great now! He was very fair on his pricing and gave prompt service. If I ever need to have my TV repaired again I will call John right away. read more

Found John on Yelp when our 43 inch Samsung was enabled dead by thunderstorm activity in Ramona recently. John was very busy and took a week before he could get to it. Miraculously it was working again when he plugged it in! When I picked it up he said "No charge" I would highly recommend and will certainly retain him in the future. Thank you "JB Tech Service" read more

I didn't know who to trust with my television. I rolled the dice and went with John because he lives closest to my home. I am glad I took a chance with him because he gave me a quick 24 hour estimate and fixed my television just as fast. He is a true professional. The television repair also came with a one year warranty. What should seal the deal for you is that he followed up with a phone call to see how the television was operating. I would definitely go to him again with any of my television repairs. read more

I had an issue with my TV not powering on. Googled the symptoms, I had blown capacitors. I didn't trust myself to solder my own tv so I bought some capacitors and took my TV to him. He not only fixed my tv but supplied his own, higher quality capacitors free of charge. I could not be more pleased with my experience. read more

I called John about a month ago with a problem with my Samsung LCD TV. The TV was turning on and off by it self and would go idle for days at a time. John was able to come out to my house on the same day and said he would take it home and spend some time with it to figure out what was going. I told him to take his time with it, and I had almost given up hope as I had read horror stories about Samsung online. John did an amazing job! He called me about 10 days later and told me what what was going and that he could fix it for me no problem. It was a huge relief. John also always lets you know how much the fix will be before doing the actual work. That is huge! 2 days later, I picked up my TV and it was like BRAND NEW. He did a detail job on the exterior and the TV has had no problems at all. (He offers a 1 year guarantee on his work.) I would highly recommend John to anyone. He is a one man show so be patient. It will be well worth the wait and could end up saving you a ton of money. Thanks John! read more

John recently repaired my Samsung HLN617WX DLP T.V. The repair required a complete replacement of the main circuit board. It would have cost me $3000 to $4000 to replace this T.V. with an new equivalent. John charged me less than 10% of that and my DLP has a new life. John is mature, reliable and trustworthy. John is not a T.V. repairman, he is an old world artist and craftsman who loves his trade, and is as honest as they come. What a refreshing human being to do business with in this world of posers, fakes, and scammers. If you want it fixed overnight you will have to go elsewhere. John is not speedy - but he does it right. I would use his services again in a heartbeat. read more
