As soon as I walked into the store, a staff member greeted me and offered help--even though he…read morelooked busy handling some paperwork. He asked what I needed, and I explained that my acoustic guitar had a broken peg tuner. I already had the replacement part with me, so I handed it over. Instead of jumping straight into recommendations or upselling, he immediately tried to fix it on the spot. Once he confirmed it was repairable, he quickly cut the string, replaced the tuner, and got everything back in place. The whole process took less than 10 minutes! I live in Carson, so driving out to Lakewood and getting it fixed the same day was such a relief. This guitar isn't for professional use--it's for my daughter who's just starting to learn--so having it ready right away saved me a lot of time and hassle. He even tuned it by ear in seconds, which was really impressive. Overall, a smooth and pleasant experience. I really appreciated the quick, no-nonsense service and would definitely come back again for future repairs!

STAY FAR AWAY FROM MUSIC LESSONS HERE…read more We traded in our son's violin for a pair of clarinet lessons with Victor, who I would not trust around anyone's children. Our 11 year old son, who loves the clarinet and absolutely loves music class in school, was shamed for not being as good a clarinet player as the instructor (who spent a considerable amount of time during the lesson showing off and playing the instrument instead of trying to teach). The instructor, Victor, ridiculed our son for not knowing how to read music well, and also took posters down off of the walls when he said the boy was being distracted.  When our son was crying, the instructor, Victor, even blamed our son and said, "Why are you crying? I didn't do anything." This clarinet instructor, Victor, is absolutely terrible with children and I can't believe he does this for a living. After the session, he was brazen enough to psychoanalyze the child IN FRONT OF HIM and say that "he doesn't take constructive criticism well." Telling someone that they aren't good enough or  are doing something wrong is not constructive criticism. There's nothing constructive about derisive language. An entry-level child student is looking for instruction, support, and uplifting, not negative reinforcement. Instead of clarinet lessons, what we received was abuse and an insult to music instructors everywhere. TERRIBLE. 0/5 stars
