Don is amazing. We first met him when he began his business in the mid-'80's. At that time, we had my parents floor model Magnavox TV. Don brought it back to life and it lasted many more years. He even helped hubby to carry a new table on to our deck! Don has repaired several of our electronics from tube Tv's, VCRs, mother in laws tape deck, computer monitor light button. Don does an expert fix on all our electronics. I pray he doesn't retire!

Don was extremely easy to get in touch with and schedule.  He kept in touch as both our schedules were so different.  He showed up as promised on time with a myriad of diagnostic equipment and went right to work.  His knowledge of electronics was very impressive.  I was hoping to 'save' my malfunctioning tv but it had a defective LCD panel and the repair cost exceeded  the value of the unit.  I appreciated his honesty, competence and professionalism.  (I didn't think tv repairmen existed anymore; it's good to know that I can always depend on Don.

Don said he would order the necessary parts and call me back within a week - my TV is still not fixed 3 months later after leaving many many messages, I've only been called back two or three times - each of the call backs came with a promise that I'm ordering the part, will have it in 7 days and will call you back - only not to be called back - while Don is very knowledgeable and personable, my experience is that he is not consistent, despite many other A ratings, and I'm unfortunately going to call someone else to repair my TV and do not recommend hiring him.

"Mr [Member Name Removed], I did receive the board we needed to repair the unit X3. They kept shipping it to an old address despite my trying to get that corrected. Once that happened I got 3 of them at once because I reordered it 3 times. I image by now you have the unit repaired. If not I will make arrangement to finish the job before I send these all back. I will also call you in the next day or so to work something out on the charges. The chronic shipping error was not fair to either of us in trying to expedite the repair but I feel I should do something. Thanks, Don"

They were prompt and friendly.  They fixed the television and explained what had gone wrong with it. The price was reasonable and certainly cheaper than a new TV!

Excellent - he did EXACTLY what he promised and it cost EXACTLY what he quoted.  He even looked at my other TV and fixed it for free.

After Don located the problem, he ordered a part from LG. It arrived in about 5 days and he promptly came to do the repair. The job is excellent. He was fast, knowledgeable and very accommodating. I would highly recommend Don to anyone with a need for TV repairs.

Don was the only person familiar with my kind of television, but unfortunately he wasn't able to obtain the necessary parts for the repairs despite an extensive search.  Furthermore, he was reasonably responsive to my calls and emails, he was very personable and friendly when dealing with me, and his pricing was fair as well.  I also appreciated Don's honesty when setting expectations about the repairs.

Great experience!  We called Don and explained the problem we were having with our LG TV and he knew immediately what the issue was.  He quoted the cost of parts and labor and scheduled an appointment for two days later.  He showed up on time and completed the job in about 1.5 hours.  He was extremely thorough in his work and in explaining to us what happened.  The capacitors were all that really needed replacing to get the TV working again, but he re-soldered all the items on the control board to make sure we wouldn't have future problems.  The price was the best we found and the service was gerat!

Don came to our house for a 10-20 min assessment. He said he needed to order a part to repair the TV and said it would take 1-2 weeks for the part to arrive. After 2 weeks, we hadn't heard back from Don, so we left him a message. All together, we have left 5+ messages with no reply from Don. We paid the assessment fee of $75 with his promise to order the part and return to fix the TV. It has been about 4 weeks since Don was at our house and we have not heard back from Don and our TV is still broken.

I never heard from him again. I have given up after multiple calls. It is a shame, too, because he had done such a nice job on a prior occasion.

I had two flat screen tvs that were not working. I was sure that one of them was not going to work again, but Don fixed it rather quickly. The second tv took a little longer, but it works like a charm now. Don was punctual, professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs tv repair.

He spent quite a bit of time tracking down the parts that were needed and did everything he could fix the TV. Once he determined that the cost would be prohibitive and that the costs of replacing everything that would be needed would be too expensive he simply charged me the cost of the estimate and sent all the parts back. He was incredibly nice and did a fantastic job. I have recommended him to other people.

Don arrived when he said he would. He actually was able to squeeze us into his day! He not only repaired what was broken, but also took the time to go over all of the boards in the TV and repair anything else that needed it, or go over any other points that looked like they were beginning to show some wear.

He was very friendly and willing to answer all of my questions. I would definitely call him again- he does excellent work!

Don, the owner came himself and was fantastically punctual. He is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in his field. He diagnosed the TV problem, right away; replaced all the old parts, and did a great job of explaining the 'why's' and the 'what's'. He was efficient in his work and had a great demeanor. Hopefully, we won't have any more breakdowns but if we do, Don's our guy. Thank you. So refreshing to meet someone that knows their trade this well. My hats off to them.
