We were recommended Corona music from the school so I had good expectations unfortunately that was…read morenot the case. I went in they quoted me $90 for a cleaning and shine with an estimate of 1-2 week turnaround time. I was called the next day to inform me the instrument was going to need more then expected and it went up to $160 SAME turnaround time. My very inpatient son after a week in a half asked me to call and get an update. I did but they didn't have an update. A little over 2 weeks I called a they say instrument will be in on Friday. I call they say not ready they will me it went on like that for what felt like for ever.

I recently brought in my luthier made uke and they were able to diagnose why the A string kept coming off. I love going in there and browsing all the books- if they don't have something, they honestly try to get it for you and they have been super patient with me when my accident prevented me from picking up my uke. Had a loooong talk with one of the guys about the great music of the late sixties and seventies and never felt once that i was being rushed away. When music is part of your soul, you can talk about it all day long. Great guys, great service!

Stop by this place since my boyfriend want to get cajon bag to protect his instrument. Upon…read morearrival, a group of staff were talking to each other and not paying attention who is coming. My boyfriend and I were walking around in aisle looking for the cajon bag many times. No one came to assist us. We try to flag the staff down in front by waving our hands and the group of staff ignored our needs as they were testing out a new guitar joking around. I literally had to call at them and one of them look like they are tired of their job. The girl with a black ponytail asked, what do you want looking pissed off because she had to break away from her group. The attitude is no good from her. She said go inside the cajon room and it will be there, immediately went back talking with the group. The fact that I had to wave and call at them loudly to get their attention is such a big disgrace. I never have to do that before at any Guitar Center I've been to in Montebello or Riverside. All I really want is for the staff to help me when my boyfriend is trying to purchase something for his instrument. After my boyfriend purchase the item, the girl cashier who has straight blonde hair went straight to talking to her coworkers. I mean, come on I had to call her out where is my receipt? Her face is so mad at me just because I asked for my receipt. What if the bag is broken or my boyfriend do not like it? Like what people say if you don't do your job properly, you will do it twice. The overall customer service experience at this location is relatively bad. The company needs to learn how to train their employees on how to become active at customer service. I understand how there are slow days but become considerate toward customers. We are the one who put sales into your business so it is running smoother.

We signed up for singing lessons with Dr. Batista's studio. Right off the bat, we noticed that Dr…read more Batista herself was the one replying to our questions which at first, we thought was pretty awesome since you're speaking directly to the owner. After speaking to her more on the phone and via text, we noticed that she came off a little rude, but hey we chalked it up to just being new to us and gave her the benefit of the doubt. Fast forward, lessons have started and her teacher (Karina) was a blast to work with. We did find it rather interesting that towards the end of the lesson, Batista would always barge in the room to bark at Karina that time was almost up. Again, maybe it was a fluke we thought. Time and time again, we had these rude occurences with Batista. After about two months of lessons, we let Batista and Karina know that we'd be leaving for vacation for a week and that we would not be doing the lesson that week. We returned to an irate Batista demanding payment for the next month's lesson and that we would have to incur a late fee in addition to missing a class. It was almost as if she never knew we were gone after we clearly had told her. What's worse is that Batista said that we had not returned her emails...well, of course, we didn't, we were on vacation! Plus we thought we had left everything in order prior to leaving. After returning from our trip, we had just had it with Batista's lack of respect, and simply lack of tact when speaking with her clients, so we canceled our lessons with her studio. We gave her honest feedback and let her know that the teachers that she employs our GREAT, but unfortunately the customer service is TERRIBLE. We suggested that she get help with the "front desk" and let someone else talk to the customers because it's clear that wasn't one of her strong points. Anyhow, there's plenty of music schools out there where you can go.... we all deal with enough rude people in this world and the last thing we need is to deal with one more around something that's supposed to be a pleasurable hobby/education. I feel bad for Karina and the others working there. They deserve a much better business owner! Unfortunately, Batista lets her pride get in the way of what her business is capable of. She's educated and will let you know it. (Don't believe me? It's the first thing she mentions in her Yelp business bio... ). Being educated doesn't mean you have the right to be rude to your customers. If you're considering this place for your child/significant other/friend, spare the abuse and look elsewhere!
