Tom told me to go to Google. First that is not where I found you! So Sir... Yelp is where I found you Yelp is where I will write. Pioneer PL 930 purchased in 83 Of course... I THOUGHT knew how to balance, and set the anti -skate. All I finally had time to listen to some songs on 33's, 45's from '78... while I garden. yeah right. I had not been in this area of town in a while so why not pick United Vtr Service because America can't figure out how to be at this moment in time. Of do a maintenance on the turntable it never been done. The SERVICE Guaranteed. WHAT!!! . impeccable. I love shops that are what some would call "cluttered unorganized" ...the mind of a mechanical genius ... that means the mind is working intense and focused! read more

I came to United VTR Service in hoping they would rescue my 8mm VCR from the 80's. I had it plugged in for quite a while and one day it went kaput. I suspected as lightening strike took away the life of my beloved VCR. I still got hundreds of 8mm tapes with old memories. I really need this sucker to stay alive. I searched on Google to see who can fix this poor baby. I came here to see a messy store. I don't know if this was the owner's living room or bedroom. It was completely chaotic. Prescription bottles on the counter and half eaten lunch with wrapper... WTF? Is this a professional establishment? Customers' records exposed to the plain sight. I took a picture and blurred out the details. There are plenty of Feng Shui paraphernalia on the counter. Aw. My. Gawd. What a giant mess. My VCR was of course unrepairable. It cost $80 to check out. I was quoted with a price that was higher than the cost of a working unit and there was no guarantee if it will last. I was okay to let go. For being an outdated technology, I just have to find a cemetery to bury my baby. Overall, I need to find another repair shop to fix other electronics. Just not at United VTR Service. read more

This pace was completely amazing!! I have a 1950's console record player that wasn't working. Bad speakers, needle, broken buttons, you name it and it had it. After about three weeks, I picked it up and I'm absolutely elated. Not only did they fix every issue, including replacing all the speakers, but they added Bluetooth to the console. Would recommend this place to anyone! read more

To was awesome. Repaired my audio system quickly and correctly the first time. He even helped me trouble shoot the system during hookup!

Lovely store and service. The have fixed 2 vintage Sony camcorders, when one failed they fixed it soon after. No complaints.

Excellent service very friendly, best repair in town.would highly recommend this company to anyone needing electronics repair

My husband loves his curved tv screen (I know...totally outdated) but it broke. He took it here and had a phenomenal experience. They are very educated and experienced when it comes to repairing electronics. The price was very fair and the repair was done in a very timely manner. I highly recommend this place! read more

I have an old Sanrio Hello Kitty boombox. You can't buy this one anymore although you can find some on eBay for parts, some of them going up several hundred dollars. VTR replaced the components so that the CD player and the cassette player again. They were also successful at pulling out a dent in one of the metal speaker covers. I wouldn't say it was cheap, but I'm happy to have it working! read more

Highly recommend this company for your services. It provided me the great services with really fast responses.

Called United VTR. Talked to guy named Tom. Told him I had Canon GL2 with tape that wouldn't eject. "I can fix - $120.00". Took it to him. Sat it on counter and he immediately said "$250.00 to remove tape - professional camera", knowing I needed the tape. Charged me $250.00 and his tech had tape out in 10 minutes. Left camera because he said he would finish repair. Called me 24 hrs later and said now he needed $750.00 for repair. Picked up camera which now had tape door stuck open. NEVER take anything there. I have given this info to the camera repair shop that recommended United VTR. I don't believe the positive reviews - must be plants. BEWARE! read more

I brought My Bang and Olufson Beosound 9000 MKII in for repair as the machine was pausing itself when I tried to skip songs. I was told it had many electronic issues and would cost thousands to repair. I declined, and they asked, "Why can't you afford it?" When I went to pick it up, they then said they could repair it for 750 dollars. I agreed. After months of being told repairs would take "one more week," I brought it home, only to find there was an additional issue, and the cd clamp was scrapping the cds. After another two weeks I brought it home, the player worked for 10 minutes and then completely died. I then brought the cd player to a shop in Austin. I was told, "It looks like someone who didn't know what they were doing tinkered with it and caused additional damage to what should have been a simple fix." read more

I saw the other 1 star reviews but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. I dropped my speaker off and paid the 100 minimum repair fee. I was called couple days later and quoted another 500 to essentially replace some sound/volume knobs. I didn't think this was reasonable and we could not agree on a price. He is very stubborn on his pricing since he already has your deposit. Took my speaker back and he kept my 100. I highly suggest you take your business elsewhere! read more

Hi! I needed to have the audio jack on my Sony Z-150 fixed immediately and the kind gentleman, Tom Pham, opened up the camera, soldered the flexible cable and audio jack and got it working all in the same day! With a warranty. Not many places I know that can take a pro video camera and fix it the same day, so I recommend United V.T.R. services for your camera or electronic needs. read more

Great service and repair work. Timely and responsive communication. Fixed a Marshall speaker

I'm not sure if this man uses old used parts but I had my tv fixed and was charged almost $200 after trying to beat down the price, he took off $40 I could tell how thankful he was for my business being that it didn't look like he got much business. He gave me all sorts of candies and treats to thanks me only for my tv to break 6 months later. He gave me a warranty for 3 months to fix it again but it was past my warranty so I called and told him I just got my tv fixed literally 6 months ago and he still decided to try and charge me to look at the tv along with the fee to fix I said you know what let me just buy a new tv which is what I should have done in the beginning read more

Tom and his technician do good work. I had two minor problems after the repair but they took care of them--they stand behind their work which is very important to me. I highly recommend them. read more

I've been coming to United V.T.R. Services for a long, long time. Great quality repairs at a reasonable price. The owner is honest, and he knows his business. This time I had a ONYKO receiver that shut-off just seconds after turning it on. He got the part in one week, and did all the work, for much less than having to replace it with a new receiver. My OKYKO receiver is almost 20 years old, and survived Hurricane Harvey. I'll bet it lasts for 20 more years, just knowing United V.T.R. Services is still around. read more

COMICALLY DISHONEST. I brought in an Adcom tuner and amplifier to this guy and he charged me $260 to diagnose both units. About a week later he said to repair both would cost an additional $500. I said "uh... no thanks, I'll fix them myself." He said, "very difficult repair, that's why cost so much... I don't think you can fix" and laughed at me. I said, "there is nothing more difficult about repairing these units than soldering in some new components." I told him I'd swing by at around 2pm to pick them up. I showed up around 2:30 and the door was locked. I then decided to show up unannounced the following day. I picked them up and noticed a sign on the wall that indicated he had grossly overcharged me for the diagnoses. Just yesterday I opened up the Adcom amp and found a loose negative signal input wire that was shorting the right channel and causing a fuse on the PCB to blow. I resoldered the wire and tested with the fuse from the left channel. Amp fixed for the cost of a fuse and a dab of solder. Attached is a photo of the repair I made. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. UPDATE: the tuner simply required the selector switches to be cleaned with Deoxit D5 ($14.95 from Jeff). read more

United Vtr Service - Tried to charge me hundreds of dollars to resolder that little black wire and replace a .50 cent fuse. TOM IS A LIAR AND A THIEF. - Electronics Repair Near Me - Houston, Texas

Really bad customer service and the owner is a liar Don't go there They just only try to take your deposit money that's it And they will give you a really high price , and if you take your tv back they replace all the working part out, and now your tv is nothing working and you lost your 80$ deposit !!!!!! DONT GO TO THIS PLACE WARNING!!!!!! read more

I took a guitar pedalboard over to this place. They said it would be $100 to fix it. They called me back 2 days later saying it would be $600 to fix it! I could buy two or three of them brand new for less money! He "conveniently" offered to keep the board if I didn't want to come pick it up. I drove back over to pick up my board and get my money back. The guy refused to give me my money back and instead gave me back $20. He essentially did nothing and took my money! Do not go to this scammer! read more

I brought in a vintage Pioneer CT-F2121 Cassette Deck. This particular model is notorious for its transports' complexity. Changing the belts is definitely a professional job. Aside from that, the deck had many other legitimate problems that Tom and his tech were able to correct and repair (Head alignment, preamp issues, etc). They even procured parts that are nearly impossible to find to complete the job. The end result is a fantastic sounding 45+ year old cassette deck that is within factory specs again. United VTR took extra time to make sure it was operating to my satisfaction--going so far as to let me test it as long as I liked on their own repair bench. I highly recommend them. And Tom even offered a discount on the final bill due the length of time they had it in for service. -Sam M. PS: since earning my business I'm taking my prized Sony Reel to Reel there next. read more

I have been putting off converting a large number of family video tapes to MP4 files that I could share with my family on Dropbox and/or YouTube. It wasn't long before my Sony Betamax failed. After calling around Houston to find someone who could fix my 1980's model Betamax, Tom with United VTR assured me that his was the shop in Houston that could. It took a little time but he did a great job. His charge was similar to what I would have paid on eBay for used units that "worked fine" but who knows? And they had no guarantee. Tom refurbished my Betamax with a guarantee! And I am very happy! After completing the Sony Betamax tape conversion, I had a Sony VHS VCR that also failed. I used Tom again. Same great results. With guarantee! I highly recommend United Vtr Service!! read more

My Samsung 55" TV stopped working suddenly I took in for repair and diagnostic. I received a prompt call to inform of the issues and to let me know how much the parts where going to cost. The LED was out which was worth more than the TV; they offered to sell one of their refurbished TVs and apply what I had paid already towards it. The new TV works great. read more

I dropped off my 60" Samsung for repair when it decided it no longer wanted to turn on. My warranty just expired after it's first year and I was sad that I would have to spend money to fix it or just buy another replacement. That's when I Yelped and found United VTR Service! I'm so glad I did! I called and a gentleman answered the phone. I asked for a quote and he informed me that it would be $40-80 just for a diagnosis. However, that fee would be applied to any future service required. Needless to say, my backlight on my TV burnt out and they replaced that! Samsung quoted me $500 to come out to my condo just to diagnose and the guy even went as far as to say, it wasn't even worth it to fix it, just replace it! Ha! I'm glad I didn't listen and went to a local repair shop! I saved hundreds of dollars and my TV was back on my wall a few days later! Great service and pricing!!! read more

Fixed my Marantz Receiver which I have owned over 20 years at a reasonable price and it works great!!!!!

They were faster with fixing my TV then said. Tom negotiated price with me. They are very concerned about customer service. This was the second time I used them. They will charge you 80 dollars just to open up the device but they put that towards the total bill. They do have a warranty for their work and I have not had any complaints with the quality, nor have I needed to use said warranty. read more
