I called to ask if they could repair my stereo which recently stopped working after a power outage…read moreand they asked if it was prior or after 1980. I let him know it was built after 1980 and he kindly referred me to someone else, Electronic Engineers Inc in Chicago. I really appreciated the fact that he just didn't tell me know and gave me an option to look into once the other place opens tomorrow.

(Let me preface this by saying I had been looking for a vintage audio repair business for six years…read morealready, and I was definitely okay with waiting a few more months to get my stereo receiver repaired. That being said, it was well worth the wait!) Just got my receiver back yesterday and it's functioning like new! It also looks fantastic with the upgraded front panel lights installed. Very happy with the service. Vince responded to messages within 24 hours (which, for me, is a huge plus) and the cost for the repair was what I had estimated - so no surprises. If you have a piece of vintage audio equipment that you want working properly, definitely check out Pure-Grooves!

Before I go into specifics, here is the short version: George is a liar and preys on the elderly…read morefor his own profit. Almost 3 years ago, my mom had George come to her house to repair a pinball machine. He went twice to 'repair' the machine. The second time he was there, George chatted her up and spun a tale that pulled at her heartstrings. He and his wife were in the process of adoption! There was so much to do! They couldn't wait to go next week to finalize the adoption! This, of course, is a tactic often used by people who prey on others: create a version of yourself as an upstanding family man who cares. Well, George doesn't care. He got my mom to lower her guard and pay in advance (something I have always strongly cautioned my mom not to do). George took parts of the pinball machine along with her hard-earned money. He promised to be back within a couple weeks after he got the parts he needed. This was all a pile of lies. George never came back, never returned the parts, and never gave my mom back her money. As soon as George got what he wanted, he vanished. A few months after, he claimed he was on his way that day and then backed out with a ridiculous excuse. No matter how many calls or text messages she sent, George never responded. I have reached out numerous times as well with similar results. His voicemail is full, probably from all the messages left by angry customers. People who prey on elderly should be ashamed of themselves. They should also be prosecuted. My next step is to go to the police and file a report of stolen property, as I have exhausted all other options. We have spent almost three years attempting to contact him only to be ignored each time. George is a wizard. Not a pinball wizard, but a wizard of lies, deceit, and predatory business practices. If you value your money or the ethics of a business, please go find another pinball repair shop. Do not be fooled or tricked by this charlatan.

There are two kinds of IT people, the ones who leave you more confused than when you started, and…read morethe ones who quietly solve the problem and get you back to running your business. Working with Matt was exactly that. He was prompt, professional, and refreshingly easy to work with. No unnecessary jargon, no drama, just honest expertise and a genuine commitment to getting the job done right. As a small business owner, having someone reliable to call when technology gets in the way is invaluable. If you're looking for an IT professional who knows his craft, communicates well, and delivers on his promises, I highly recommend him. Good people are hard to find. Great IT people are even harder.

This was required for me to be able to put a new band on it or I would have needed to buy a new one.

Perry was so nice and had the piece out in under a minute, and insisted on putting the new band on for me. I will return here for any other needs he may be able to assist me with. Thank you so much, you're the best Perry!

My 85" Samsung suddenly lost power. So I called Joe, the owner of ABC TV Repair, who I found…read moreonline. He arrived within 2 days, on time, almost to the minute, to do an analysis as to what the problem was with my TV. After opening up the back of my TV he discovered that the power board on the TV was fried. He then advised me that to get a replacement power board would be about $350. So, for his $119 service call charge to come by for initial analysis plus the part and return service call for also $119, I had a fully restored 85" TV for about $570, vs the cost of replacement TV for about $1800. Joe definitely knows what he is doing and is a true professional. I'd recommend him to any family member or friend.

I would have loved to have given a better review for this, but even if we hadn't had the heated exchange, I felt the price was a bit high ($500) and was never broken down or explained to me. Everyone that I knew told me I was insane for paying that kind of money for a repair when TV's of the same size (and a fraction of the weight, lugging this thing to his shop twice was NO fun) could be bought new. What stopped me from sending this TV to the junkyard was his assurance (and some research) that it was a great TV that could be made good as new. Considering its original price tag, I agreed to repairing it instead of replacing. He could very well be the Rain Man of television repair, but in this day and age, a hand-scribbled receipt, gruff demeanor, and cash-only approach is not what I look for in a 5 star experience.
