I took my car radio to be repaired and had to keep calling back every couple of weeks or so to see if it was repaired yet. Initially, he didn’t want to bother with it, but I told him it’s for a collector car, and had to be repaired. After 2 and a half months, he finally said he couldn’t repair it. I had to call him, as he never bothered to call me. Not sure how knowledgeable he is but think he wasn’t up to it. The shop is a disaster, with junk piled high everywhere, so I was a little hesitant about leaving it. When I finally picked up the unrepaired radio, I was charged a reasonable $ 10 (cash only accepted), but when I got it home noticed that it had been dropped (or something similar), as the faceplate is completely broken off on 1 side, and the front is cracked and dented. Surely, he would have noticed it but didn’t say anything, so I feel he was dishonest with me. Will never go back there again. I found out after that there are 2 other places in town that repair car radios, so I’d try them first. It won’t be easy or cheap, but I now have to try to find another radio exactly the same, as this one is now totally ruined.

I took my son’s favourite old-​school amp here (from the 1970s, he thinks) after it got fried during a major power surge. He thought it was toast and couldn’t believe it when it was all fixed and ready to pick up a few days later — total cost of $ 50. This little place is jammed packed with every type of electronic equipment — like a maze — maybe the only place like it on Vancouver Island.
