Thursday before the super bowl our nice year and half old flat screen in the living room broke. The battery in our remote died so we went to change the channel on the TV and with a simple push the buttons pushed right into the TV and got stuck. Several were pushed in and I assumed pushed down, so we could control the volume or power off the TV in fear that it wouldn't turn on.
Since the TV wasn't old and wasn't totally broken we knew we weren't going to buy a new one. Unfortunately we were just out of warranty, and needed a repair man that could fix it fast. After a little bit of research on Yelp, Google, and Angie's List I sent a few emails and got some numbers to call in the morning. I connected with TonyMaxTV first thing in the morning, and since we were more concerned with the timing of this than the price I didn't really price out too many other options. It was $50 to have Tony come out and diagnose the problem, but that $50 could be put towards repairs if they were necessary, which seemed reasonable to me.
Tony came to our apartment on Saturday. We had scheduled for 1pm, but Friday night he called to reschedule for 3pm. This wasn't a problem at all. He called us 15 minutes prior to his arrival on Saturday and was right on time. He was able to fix the buttons on the TV and tighten a loose HDMI port (the TV would lose the feed on occasion if you walked by it the right way). He was at our place for about 45 minutes. He was quick, efficient, clean and very, very courteous. The total cost for our repairs was $100 (including the initial $50 to come out). I've never had a TV repaired before so I can't really gauge the price, but it seems reasonable to have a $100 fix for nice flat screen TV.
If we have any problems in the future with Televisions or Electronics in the house we will definitely use him. We recommend him to anyone else with problems. It's a lot better than investing in a new TV. read more
