Or at least that's what they say I had a simple fix after being on the phone with Samsung and waiting for one hour to take it to the store they take off the back of the phone and make a simple fix to a common problem with the Samsung Note 10 plus and this problem is the on/off button they looked at me they went in the back and a minute later they came out and said"we don't feel comfortable doing this" what? Samsung explained this would be a very simple fix and it is a common problem and they didn't feel like it? I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy they are worthless when I asked him what the problem was the man at the desk just stared at me wouldn't speak and turned around and walked away in the back. Obviously their paycheck is not going to change $1 the people losing the money are the ones that hired them and pay their paychecks and that won't be affected but the store can't meet its bottom line because the people who work there don't feel like it!??!

When I walked into the shop I felt like I took a step back in time...in a very positive way. I don't remember his name but the owner opened it up, knew exactly what was wrong with it and gave me a price to fix it. Since I have no need for a player that holds 200 cds and since it's so old it doesn't even have any wireless capability I said no thank you. I suggested he fix it and sell it and he told me what he does in a situation like this. He fixes it and donates it. I found that so heartwarming. Needless to say I highly recommend this business.

I hate to do this to a small business owner, but my experience with Shawn was pretty horrible. I…read moresent my Dad's 1968 Pioneer SX-1500TF to Shawn to have it re-capped back in June 2013 and didn't get it back until February 2014. Here are my issues..... COMMUNICATION: Shawn's communication was non-existent. I had to badger him for any sort of update. He never contacted me to let me know that he received the stereo. He was originally supposed to have the restoration completed by August 2013. When I didn't hear from him in August, I called him only to be told that parts are on backorder and that he didn't start the job. This went on until November 2013. He then let me know that he injured his knee and didn't know when he'd be able to complete the job. Apparently his shop was up a flight of stairs and he could get up them. Then magically it was done and shipped. I will say this for Shawn, he was very pleasant to talk to. SHIPPING: My stereo arrived in an oversized box with a couple of air packets thrown on top of the stereo. The box was held together with duct tape instead of packing tape and was coming open at the bottom. Basically, my stereo was bouncing around in a box without any padding. WHO SHIPS ANTIQUES OR ELECTRONICS LIKE THIS?!?! PHYSICAL CONDITION: My stereo has a wood case around it. It was shipped to Shawn without damage. Arrived with two decent sized nicks on the top of the case. Shawn also removed all of the case machine screws, apparently lost them and used sheet metal screws instead. WHO DOES THIS TO AN ALL ORIGINAL ANTIQUE?!?! ELECTRONICS: The stereo arrived in not workable order. It would play with all kinds of odd transient noises and also had a issue were it took roughly 1 minute to turn. Neither issues were present prior to shipping to Shawn. Shawn dismissed both issues. He stated that he never heard the noises and that it was most likely interference. As for the 1 minute turn on thing, I got some long answer that really didn't make sense. After a series of emails, I finally gave up on Shawn correcting this. Flash forward to today.... I just picked up my stereo from another well known San Diego audio repair shop. The diagnosis? Well, Shawn didn't replace all the capacitors I was charged for. Some of the capacitors he did replace were the wrong values and wrong physical size. He also installed two capacitors backwards. The stereo also needed roughly 20 transistors replaced. I had asked Shawn about that and was told that he couldn't do it because of some nonsensical reason. Now that Shawn's work has been corrected, my stereo turns on in less than 5 seconds, has no weird noises and sounds great. AVOID GOLDEN GATE ELECTRONIC REPAIR!

Not with Shawn at Golden Gate. He gives free estimates and gets the job done fast and inexpensively. To be honest, since he does not have a traditional store front at first I was nervous about leaving a rare and valuable amplifier with him so I started with some smaller items. After the first repair I knew he was both honest and trustworthy and have plans for Shawn to restore dozens of my components.

I spilled coffee on my laptop keyboard two weeks ago. Within about five minutes I was getting an error message. I called around to different computer service centers the PC Service Center gave me the most affordable quote. $85 for a simple cleaning. If there were shorts and I needed new parts they would simply charge me for the parts above the $85. So the 85 was a simple flat rate for the labor on the entire job. nothing hidden. i knew upfront what all the charges would be. It turns out that my computer did not need new parts so all I paid was the $85 for the cleaning (thank you!!). This was far and away the best price. The next closest was drop zone (california location). They would've charged me $90 for a diagnostic. Then that $90 would've been put towards the repairs/cleaning; im pretty sure they would've charged me over 90 for the cleaning, tho. Everything else was much higher after that. I was getting quoted $150 and $200 from all the other PC repair places in Reno/sparks, and some of them were not very transparent or forthcoming about pricing over the phone. PC service center does have a lot of work, so you might have to wait a few days to a week simply because they work in order received. i highly recommend this business. No need to go anywhere else unless you want something overnighted. They also have laptops for sale if yours is busted. Prices look like they range from about $300 and higher. Their store is cool. They have old Macintoshes and other tech on display for decoration.
