I moved into a new condo that had built in speakers in the family room, bedroom and outdoor deck…read more The old volume sliders were broken, so I went ahead and got new impedance matching volume controls for the 3 sets of speakers. I then tried to setup my receiver and couldn't get any sound. I didn't really want to get into figuring out how the place was wired and waived the white flag. I easily setup an appointment with Joe and he had his technicians come out on time. They arrived with masks and gloves (COVID19) and were careful the whole time. They easily knew where to look and how to get my receiver hooked up properly. Found out I had a Sonance setup that was good (for it's time) but the driver plate was unnecessary with my amp. They took out the Sonance driver and got me setup with my existing Yamaha amplifier. They helped figure out how to get my zones setup on the amplifier and gave some pointers to look out for. I'm all setup now and ended up hooking up my Chromecast to my receiver to stream audio from my phone while I'm outside on the deck also! I'm a happy customer and was glad to have Royal Home Entertainment troubleshoot my issues.

This is a fantastic, helpful place. A few years ago I walked into Royal to buy a TV. I was annoyed…read moreby my previous set--I bought it online and it developed a line of dead pixels a few years out of warranty--and liked the idea of shopping at a local business. Joe was very kind and helpful, despite resale not quite being their business. He located the precise set I wanted (from another dealer in Florida!) and hand-delivered it to our apartment for a great price. It's still one of my favorite service experiences in the city. Over the years I've recommended Royal to several friends, and if I ever needed repair work I wouldn't hesitate to contact them again. A big box store just can't compete with their wealth of experience and clear passion for the field.

My E/V speaker control button was damaged and pushed all the way in and because of this speaker did…read morenot work. I emailed Anthony who emailed right back. "Hi, You'll have to drop it off so we can inspect it further. We charge $20 upfront for the inspection and will need it for a few days. Thanks." I brought my speaker to his shop and paid $20 to inspect. Still not knowing if he could fix or not. Inspection took two weeks and two days, Then I get a call from Anthony and he said he could fix the problem also my other control knob was also on the verge of breaking and he would fix that too. The estimate is between $180 and $200. I gave him the go ahead and my speaker was repaired within two days. I asked him if I could pick up the speaker within four days Saturday because I lived way on the south side and he said that was fine. When I picked up the speaker we tested it there to make sure it was working properly. Not only was it working properly and both control knobs were fixed but he added the knobs that were missing that caused the problem in the first place. My total charge including inspection $200. I 100% recommend Athonys Electronics, Friendly service, reasonable price, honest. I did not mind the inspection wait time it just shows that he does not rush jobs and wants to do it right. the picture on the right shows what the speaker knob looked like before I took it in. Pic on the left is what it looked like after.

Anthony is the BEST! He's very knowledgeable and takes the time to things properly. 10/10. He's…read morealso a great guy and knows how to get the job done. Anthony has repaired several new and vintage components for me over the years. Great service! Bob Finholm

I always come here whenever I have an issue with my phone -- the service is awesome, and they've…read morealways been able to repair the problem. The prices are also super reasonable, so if you need something fixed, just go! It will probably cost less than you think, and save you a lot of stress from your phone/tech not working. I first went 4+ years ago because I broke my headphone jack off in my phone. It was an easy fix for them and I felt silly for waiting so long to come in. My boyfriend has taken his different phones in for various issues, usually screen-related: cracked, non-responsive, distorted, etc. They've always been able to repair/replace it quickly. Overall, I trust the quality of their work, the prices are reasonable, and they're very kind. I highly recommend them!

I was initially very pleased with the quick turnaround and friendly service when I had my iPhone…read morescreen replaced. They were pleasant and professional and we exchanged a bit of humor over the phone and in person. Unfortunately, just two weeks later, a noticeable black blob appeared on the new screen near the Dynamic Island. This looks like OLED screen bleed or a defect. The phone has remained in a case with a screen protector the entire time and has not been dropped, bumped, or otherwise mishandled. Given the timing (only 2 weeks after installation) and the specific location of the spot, this issue is almost certainly the result of either a defective replacement screen or a problem during installation (such as trapped dust, adhesive, or pressure damage). It is not consistent with normal use or accidental damage. I offered to bring the phone in so they could inspect it in person, but they declined and immediately dismissed the warranty claim without examination. While I understand repairs aren't perfect, I'm disappointed they are unwilling to stand behind their work and honor the warranty on what is clearly a post-repair defect. I went from a satisfied customer who would have returned and recommended them to someone who can no longer do so. Potential customers should be aware that warranty support may not be reliable here. EDIT: Contrary to the response below the phone was never physically inspected. Rather, the response was based on a set of photos sent showing the issue which, alone, would be virtually impossible to come to a conclusion of physical damage versus defective product. As a customer, you are in a no win situation here as no matter what happens they are going to blame you and not the manufacturer or installation for the problem.

i am surprised to see many negative reviews of this company…read more i am in California, and i looked around the innernet for a place that could fix my old dvd recorder/player. i finally found "Just Service". i printed and filled out the online repair form, boxed up the unit, and sent it in. within a week, i received a phone call: "good news - parts are available, we can have it fixed by the end of the day". boom. done. no chit-chat, no trying to sell something i don't need, no ridicule, no nothing! the guy on the phone just told me how much to pay (which was reasonable) and they'd ship as soon as they receive payment. i received the recorder/player within maybe a week....and it has played and recorded as if it was new ever since. i am very satisfied with their repair and prompt service. i wouldn't hesitate to send something else that might need repair in the future. it seems there aren't a lot of electronics repair places around these days..... i was a little surprised that they used phone calls instead of email, and they requested an actual check/money order instead of paypal, (or another online payment method), but that certainly doesn't detract from the thorough & speedy work they did.

Brought in a Tascam Model 16 that wasn't connecting via USB to my computer or any other USB device…read more I sent them an email and didn't get an initial response, which is fine I thought why not just bring it by and drop it off. They are by appointment only for drop-offs and are VERY aggressive about nobody entering the premise. I didn't need them to look at it that day, I just wanted to drop it off. I get they are by appointment only, but were very rude when I asked if I could just drop it off. The technician agreed to take it in and asked what was wrong with it. Told him the it wasn't registering as a USB device. He told me that since it was a digital issue it'd be at least $200-$300 which seemed weird since he hadn't even looked at it yet. I suggested it might just be the USB jack or corresponding PCB, he acted like that was a stupid suggestion. Charged me $100 (cash only, also sketchy) for a bench fee/diagnostics. It wasn't until after I left that I started reading other alarming reviews and decided I didn't want them to go through with any work. The proper way technicians work is they call you with a work estimate before starting any repairs. Instead, I emailed to tell them not to worry about doing any work, and I'd just eat the $100. They said that the technician already started repairs, which again I never approved or received any quote/estimate. I called and emailed multiple times demanding an invoice, and never received anything. The next week they tell me to come pick it up. I show up to find that the technician said it's "unserviceable" that an IC was fried. So, no, they technician did not start on any repairs, that was a lie. At this point I'm just glad to have my mixer back before they could do any damage or charge a crazy repair fee without my approval. Suspicious that their technician didn't know what he was talking about, I took it to Deltronics on Grand Ave. They charged me $75 for a bench fee, a week later told me it was in fact the USB port (like I suggested) and charged me a total of $130 to repair it. Just got it back and works just like new. I posted this same review to google reviews, and they claimed that I'm some kind of bot asking them for money to remove the review. I am in fact not a bot but just a person irritated by their bad service.
