When the screen on our SONY television set suddenly went white and ghostlike, I searched Angie's list for a nearby repair company and found the highly rated A-1 TV Sales and Service. When I called, the fellow said that Jeff could come out that afternoon and evaluate the situation. He showed up on time , was very personable, and recommended that we send the set out for about a $280 repair. Since a new set was only $480, we decided to let him buy one for us. He came the following day, set up the unit, took away the 6-year old TV, and charged us just for the COSTCO price of the set. We were very impressed. Jeff is a very savvy repair expert and a real pleasure to work with.

Greatest service ever! Arrived on time, gave me an honest opinion on my old tv and set up my new tv. Wonderful and pleasant. Gave me helpful suggestions on peripherals, I.e., DVD and cable box compatible with new tv. I can't say enough about this family owned business. Would definitely use them in the future and would recommend them without hesitation. They are just the best.

My large flat screen died, just died. World Cup happening, Wimbledon, Tour de France, much television watching coming up. I called A-1, their guys were at my door the next day, a quick exam confirmed their over the phone guess of fried power supply. 3 days later, they were back, 15 minutes later I was back on the couch loving the big screen. They were very professional, friendly, and great to deal with. Every aspect was as advertised and hoped for.

Very well. They tested the tv for over a week, and ultimately provided us with a loaner replacement free of charge as it was taking longer than expected to reproduce the problem in their shop. I would have preferred a little more contact during this process as we didn't hear from them for a couple weeks. Otherwise, everything went very well. All staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and we now have our repaired tv back home!

First, I want to say that to give a company an A rating, they should go beyond what one would assume is a ?good job?. In other words, if I pay for a service and it was done without issues, the highest rating that I would give is a B. If the provider went above what I would presume the service to be, they deserve an A. A-1 TV Sales & Service went beyond. My 2003 Sharp flat screen TV stopped working. I called A-1 TV Sales & Service. Jeff came out the next day. He diagnosed the problem to be a faulty power supple circuit (which was consistent with what I read about on the internet). He ordered a new one and about 10 days later came out and replaced it. The cost was about $450 (parts, labor and home visit). At the time of installation, he mentioned that he thought the LCD lights might be going up. He left and after turning the TV on and off a few times, the TV would not turn on. He took time to investigate where he could get the lights for this model TV as Sharp no longer provided them. He came back the next day and took the TV monitor away as he had to measure the lights. Not knowing how long it would take, he lent me a 40? Sony flat screen TV. He returned a couple of weeks later with my TV (at no additional cost). It only worked for a short time. Again he came back, took the Sharp away and lent me the Sony again. He contacted Sharp to try to trouble-shoot what the problem could be. The folks at Sharp were stumped. He returned for the final time on 5/10 to take away the tuner part of the Sharp and complete the installation of the Sony. He connected it to the Bose system and DVD/VCR. In addition, he disconnected and removed other components that I really didn?t use; all of this without charging me any more than the initial charge for the purchasing and installation of the power supply circuit. This is what I call going above and beyond expectations as a customer. I would most definitely without hesitation recommend A-1 TV Sales & Service.

Thank you for the review.We were glad everything worked out so well.The most important thing we do In the service industry is try to resolve a problem for our clients but if we are not able to resolve there problem is go to plan B and get a solution that works for the client and the service company.With out our clients we would not be able to resolve problems and that Is why we are in business.

From my first contact with Zack in the office, to the follow up calls from a pleasant woman in the office to keep me posted of the schedule, to the arrival of Jeff the service tech, my entire experience with A-1 was A+! They were fantastic from start to finish. The price was reasonable and my TV is working great and has never looked any better.

In my opinion, this company and the people who work there are a customer service dream. From my first contact with them to the last, everyone I dealt with was responsive, knowledgable and professional. Zack was able to correctly diagnose the problem using information I provided over the phone, ordered the appropriate replacement unit and provided an accurate estimate of the total cost. When it was clear that the snow storm would delay the projected installation date, he phoned me to schedule it for one day later. On the installation day, I was completely unprepared when the technicians arrived promptly at the top of their two-hour window. That was a first in my experience. They were efficient, professional and extremely helpful. I really enjoyed working with this company.

I was frustrated. I spent $75 and got nothing, not even responsiveness or even, Lord forbid, a bit of empathy that I had to trash my TV. I will certainly not buy a Sony again.
Description of Work: Our 2008 Sony 52' inch LED TV lost its picture suddenly. Based on the Angie's List review, we drove a half hour to use A-1 TV Sales & Service. We paid $75 to have the television diagnosed with the understanding that $50 would be put towards the cost of repair. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. Days went by, and despite repeated calls, I could not get an estimate. Finally, I got a call from the owner who said it was a faulty LED panel and he couldn't repair it because the part wasn't available. I got the part number and tried to find it myself. The owner was dismissive of me on this. He assured me that it couldn't be found. Well, it could be found, but Sony wanted $2,400, twice what I paid for the TV in 2008. The owner is not responsible for Sony's idiocy, but the lack of responsiveness will not help his business. It was not a good experience.

We are sorry that your set could not be repaired.The makes of certain televisions do not provide lcd panels as replacement parts.When you brought your television into our shop you were informed that we would evaluate your television in a timely manor.We had two of our technicians on a assignment out side of our local area and it took a little longer then usual to evaluate your set,we are a well established company and have been of service to the area since 1957.We try to repair everyone's set the day before it fails but sometimes are hands are tied by the makers of set we support. It does not matter what brand of set you own there are difficulties in getting parts from suppliers and their ever changing parts policies. Good luck in your next purchase and sorry for your dismay in our service abilities.

Fantastic! Showed up on time. Extremely professional and courteous. Jeff is simply a great person and a pleasure to work with. He is the opposite of the typical contractor (he is clean cut and friendly) and a person you would invite over for dinner. I was consider just replacing the TV, but I am glad I saved $2,000+. Thanks for your professional work Jeff.

I found A-1 on "Angie's List," (I found Angie's List on TV App called "Viggle") Very prompt response & accommodating for the appointment time. Techs were Fernando & Steve came to repair a wall mounted 32" Spectroniq (Protron) TV. I had previously purchased the necessary part on my own years ago. They were here less than a half an hour. TV is fixed and working. I needed to supply a ladder for them to access the TV. They were very helpful moving some furniture away from the wall to access the TV. They put everything back to normal before they left. The only negative comment I have is that i think they should have honored the $50 coupon (did not expire until Feb 2014) showing on Angie's List. Didn't see AARP discount until I started this review. I am not trying to be stingy, on a fixed income it's hard & every penny counts. I also thought that since I supplied the part and they were only here for a half hour, they might have given me a little price break. All in all a good experience :0)

The TV repair guys showed up a little early, which was OK. Both men were very knowledgeable and knew immediately what was wrong. The repair was completed quickly. I also have problems when I want to watch a DVD. The player doesn't connect the first time I try. I asked about this. The guy told me that this is a common problem. The DVD player apparently has issues communicating with the TV. He said only very new equipment does this well. So as long as I can get it to work I shouldn't worry about it.

Sony used to be the top tier TV. Apparently I was lucky the LCD screen lated 5 years.
Description of Work: I called them because my 5-year old Sony Bravia developed horizontal lines on the panel. They explained that the panel was defective and that replacing the LCD panel was not cost-effective. They could have booked a service call and told me then - but they didn't. I salute their professionalism and honesty, and would absolutely call them when I have future problems.

I was not able to get the panel replaced by Sony so I was not able to fix the problem but the technician, as I said above, was very clear about the options I had - it was either Sony replacing the Panel or my having to buy a new TV.

I believe that A1 TV sales is a good company. I would use them again if I ever have issues with any of the TVs I own. In this situation, I really didn't get a chance to evaluate their workmanship because the TV was not repairable.
Description of Work: Our TV stopped working on evening. I called A1 TV sales to repair it. Unfortunately, they were unable to fix the TV because it needed a part that was way too expensive. So we opted to purchase another TV. The repairman could not repair the TV onsite so they took it back to their shop and once the cause was determined, it was just a better choice to purchase another TV. By the way, we had a 50-inch Proscan TV (3 yrs old) so it was pretty dissappointing that it went out so soon. But for the price we paid for the TV, we should have known it was too good to be true. No fault of A1 TV sales though.
