Scott did a great job cleaning and tweaking my 45-year-old Technics SL3200. I supplied a new moving coil cartridge/stylus, he replaced a broken tonearm and refurbished a few other components and when I finally got my vintage system up and running, my old albums sounded better tha ever! Because of some complexities in the repair process it took several weeks to complete, but I knew that would be the case and didn't mind. It was worth it and recommend Scott for anybody needing turntable repairs. read more

World-class turntable repair at a reasonable price. My vintage Technics spins like new!

Took my DDJ1000 in to get my faders replaced and Scott did a great job. The turn around was quicker than any other shop I've gotten my faders replaced at so far which was awesome. He also gave my controller a desperately needed cleaning on the inside which I appreciated. I'll definitely only be coming to Scott for my DJ repairs from now on! read more

Scott knows his stuff and will take care of you proper. Decent pricing sweetens up the whole deal.

Scott helped fix our church's Nord Grand keyboard issue to spec. He coordinated with Nord techs in Europe and found the root cause of the key dysfunction. Even with the time difference, he was thorough in his assessment and detailed in his approach. His communication and updates kept us in the loop on the progress and expected completion date. At time of pick up, we made sure everything was working as expected and that the repair was to our standards. The keyboard is working as new without any issues. For any issues with your Nord keys, I would highly recommend Scott and his work. He cares about the craft and will thoroughly fix the issue. read more

Dropped off my pioneer XDJ - RX2 to get fixed. The cue and play button weren't working anymore. They weren't sensitive to clicking. So I dropped them off to the front desk lady who assists his clients, and then picked them up from her 2 weeks later. I never met Scott in person, but he was super responsive through email. Scott was very good about constantly updating and keeping in touch about the repair process. I highly recommend him if you need any repairs on your DJ equipment. Thank you for doing such an amazing job! read more

Scott replaced a few buttons on my Numark controller, and he cleaned the whole thing (which was filled with alkaline dust). He is super friendly and is to work with, and he charged a fair price. He also checked in with me a few weeks later, to make sure everything was working properly. A word of advice for first time visitors: call to coordinate with Scott directly before bringing in your device, since there is no storefront. read more

TL:DR Great Price, Great Customer Service, Strong Communication and Super Trustworthy and wonderful to deal with! I will definitely do business with again! Detail: I had recently purchased two Technics SL1200M3ds from Craigslist at a great price. However, the tables needed to be restored to factory settings, I was getting feedback from the outputs and the cords were too short for me to alter my set up between standard and battle style. Additionally, my purchase had included an interesting DIY wiring setup which allowed for the tables to be set up directly through the road cases but this feature no longer worked. After an initial consultation, Scott told me how long it would take to resolve all of these items and made it happen super fast! My turntables are so, so happy now and I am super inspired to work hard and practice. Listen up DJ's and audiophiles: This is the guy to send your business. Very reasonable pricing and trustworthy. My turntables are like my children. I wouldn't leave them with just anyone. This company treated my turntables a little too well, and now they want to stay up past their bedtime and eat junk food. You get it. Make the call read more

Where to start... Well my NI instruments S4 after a couple of really good gigs (not a couple I mean a LOT of gigs) started to behave erratically. Dust and drink spills into the hardware charged the toll... so there were a lot of times that I just put it away and let it collect even more dust ! After I finally tried to talk to NI for some customer service I found my self lost in the woods, no one at native were answering my emails or giving me a direction to folllow !! After a couple of clicks I ended up at RDJG! I sent an email and Scott, owner and repair specialist answered it right away with quotation and full description of services !! Now my s4 is upgraded, working better than new and they even upgrade USB port at no charge ! Which was a very nice thing !! Definitively recommend their service ! They're truly PROS!!!! read more

For the past few months my Traktor S4 has been sitting useless in my room due to a broken USB port. The turnaround time sending back to Native Instruments is over 6 weeks. Scott is very professional and accommodating. He was able to get my S4 fixed the same day I dropped it off so I could avoid the drive back. He cleaned the inside and inspected it for any other common defects. I will be recommending him to fellow DJ friends! read more

My Traktor S8 was experiencing sporadic power issues and after research it seemed my options were to either send it to NI in Germany or to Repair Dj Gear. I opted to send it to a local business first. Scott at Repair Dj Gear kept me up to date throughout the repair process, even taking care of a faulty 3.5mm headphone jack I forgot to mention in the original repair order! Scott also discovered that my faders were unsurprisingly on their way out as well and after clearing the repair with me he replaced them with new ones that are as smooth as butter! After it was shipped back I had some issues with the mixer portion powering on and after some helpful guidance from Scott we discovered usps had jostled it around enough to disconnect an internal cable! After popping it back in all the way it works better than ever! I highly recommend working with Repair Dj Gear and Scott! Thank you again Scott! read more

I recently had a pair of Pioneer CDJ-900's repaired by Scott at RDJG. He answered every call and every question. He repaired both units in a very short amount of time especially considering it was between Christmas and New Years eve. He took the time to meet with me to explain the issues and work performed. Also very reasonably priced1 Thank you Scott and RDJG! read more

Stay away. Worst scammer in Orange County. Destroyed my vintage 1980s Realistic SCR-8 radio/boombox. I took my 'working' boombox to Repair DJ Gear (owner is Scott Garven) for general clean up (volume, bass, treble controls and to see if he can fix the cassette) and I requested a quote to 'restore' the unit. This boombox is from the 80s and I bought it on eBay in partial working condition for $300. I was able to play music through the aux input using my cellphone but there were other issues that needed attention. Scott had my unit for 4 months and I got to the point where I told him that I want it back because he wasnt making any progress even if it was in the same condition when I first dropped it off for him. He told me that its in pieces and that he was not able to put it back together to make it functional. I had to pick my unit up from a 3rd party electronics repair shop in Huntington Beach AFTER I paid them $100 for their evaluation. So, the bottom line is that this vintage 1980s radio/boombox cost me $400 and all I have is the unit in pieces that are useless. Stay away from Repair DJ Gear, this guy Scott Garven has no clue what he is doing. read more

This guy is doing big things. I was lucky enough to choose this company over any others in the area. I had problems with my turntables and was quoted 4 times the amount from a different company. After sending my turntables here to fix my Technique turntables. He fixed my pitch fader, replaced my RCAs and grounded them internally... I was so happy with the service, i started bringing him all my music equipment to fix and finetune. He even managed to fix my midi keyboard that my cat threw up on. No Joke. I didn't know someone like scott existed so close to my house. My only issue with this company is that I didn't find it sooner. I would have been putting them to work long ago. read more

Bought an S4 MK1 that needed revamping (usb port, rca ports). Got a full rebuild and let me tell you it was worth it! Less than half the time it would of taken me to send it to NI. Nothing but professional, very knowledgeable, and a staple of how I wish business was done now. Highly recommend... read more

Best Dj pro audio gear repair in the area for sure. I would dread having to drive to la to get anything repaired. He is very fast and very good. And is priced very well! Highly recommended. read more

Scott fixed my Denon DJ MC6000 MK2 DJ Controller. He was confident that he would be able to fix it before he even saw it after giving him a description of the symptoms. I dropped it off at his office, which was quite nice. He wasn't in at the time; however, he had great friendly staff there to help me fill out a form and accept my Controller. I left feeling that it was in professional care. He even communicated through text with every step of the process through the repair. 10/10 will be coming back to him with any DJ equipment issues in the future. read more

Sent in my CDJ 2000 to have the cue button replaced. Got it back and it only worked for two days. Called to let him know and he would not warranty it. It cost me $125.00 plus shipping. I will never use this company again. They are crooks. Stay away from them. They do not stand behind there work. read more

My cat completely destroyed my built in RCA cables, and I had no experience or desire to splice them myself. I had quick service and got the cables replaced with some higher quality and more sturdy (significantly) Mogami cable. Definitely knowledgeable, and even cleaned up my table which had accumulated quite a bit of filth after not being touched for about a year or so. A fair price inclusive of high quality materials (even checked the average price of the materials myself, it was more than fair). read more

Client communication started to become difficult to understand based on service provided and previous expectations of repair. July 15th. Client confirmed return shipping address. DJ controller shipped and delivered. 1Z8W498V0326642020. Clients expectations and requests began to become outside of Repair DJ Gear policy. We shipped client's power adapter. C9405511202555888014638 Client started stating multiple areas of controller were not working properly. I advised client to check computer, software and drivers for DJ controller. Advised to read owners manual and check online help forums. At this point client needed technical assistance. We offered assistance at no charge within limits. We then offered to have the client return DJ controller to investigate possible issue with initial repair and new issues he found after controller was returned. Client declined to return to us for repairs. July 23rd: Client stated " I have decided that I do not want to have this unit shipped back to you. I have someone here close to me that can fix this.". We have not heard from client since then. In conclusion, this client had a known working DJ controller and did not know how to load software, driver data, synchronize equipment and software and how to operate the equipment for a successful user experience. ------------------------------------------ Scott David Owner / Repair Specialist What is the next step? This matter is now closed in BBB files, and will appear in the company's BBB Business Review as: "Answered - the business addressed the issues within the complaint, but the consumer remains dissatisfied." There is no action for you to take at this time. We will contact you when we next require your input. Here's the thing: This had nothing to do with loading software, etc. He is giving them false information. I think that the unit was never repaired. This had nothing to do with a power supply. Scott, the business owner did not return my power adapter that plugs into the wall, and I had to go out and buy another one. I am requesting a full refund for my unit, and would appreciated if he didn't make false claims. "In conclusion, this client had a known working DJ controller and did not know how to load software, driver data, synchronize equipment and software and how to operate the equipment for a successful user experience." 1) No software needed to be loaded back on to my computer 2) It is my conclusion that he never replaced the part identified that needed to be fixed 3) I'm not seeing anything with paperwork, and in his repairs that tells me that he needed to replace that part. 4) I have owned this unit for over 9 years and am very qualified in loading software to this unit. '' CONCLUSION: THE PART WAS NEVER REPLACED. read more

Excellent service! Took in my Native Instruments Traktor S4 and he opened it up and tested it. The RCA output was messed up so he realized what the issue was and the next day had me pick it up. Haven't had a problem since! read more

I met Scott in 2013. I had 2 Technic Turntables that needed to be refurbished. Right from the start, Scott projected positive energy and was very professional. He did a FANTASTIC job cleaning up my turntables. A year went by and it was time to get my DJM PIONEER mixer cleaned up. Once again, Scott came to my rescue. My 16 year old mixer was like brand new when Scott was finished working on it. A few years later, I purchased a mixer from Scott. He has amazing access to top of the line gear. What I like most about Scott is how efficient he is and the quality care he provides when dealing with our precious/expensive gear. Flash forward to 2019, I had an emergency/time sensitive repair. I had a gig in two days, and called Scott right away. Both of my Pioneer mixers were not working properly. Scott literally dropped what he was doing and told me to drop off my equipment in 1 hour. He quickly diagnosed the issues and gave me a more than fair quote for the repairs. From day one, Scott has been a breath of fresh air. He takes the time to make sure the job gets done right the first time. As a bonus, he is very upfront with the estimated cost and turn around time to get your gear fixed and back to the client. His pricing is on point and worth every red cent. I will continue to go to Scott for years to come. I've also sent all of my friends to Scott, because I can count on him to take care of the people that I care about. Please, don't waste your: time, money and energy going anywhere else. Scott is " The Real Deal." Period. read more

I found Scott using yelp and needed my CDJ fixed. Unfortunately the part was a little more than I was hoping to spend, but the service I received outside of that was outstanding and I will definitely contact Scott again if I need any of my other equipment looked at read more

Scott is the man! Brought my Pioneer CDJ Nexus 2000 to get the link feature fixed and he got it done very quickly. Would recommend him to anyone needing to get any DJ equipment repaired for sure! read more

My Klipsch floor speaker was dead and I called Repair DJ Gear. Scott was very nice and patient to listen to me to describe the problems and asked me to bring the speaker to his shop. He checked the speaker and found out the problem lied in the circuit board. Even though he was not able to proceed with the repair because of the schematics of the circuit board was not available, he made calls to the manufacturer to find out the authorized shop in Michigan who can repair this type of speakers. I really appreciated his professionalism and knowledge in trying to help me. Thank you Scott!! read more

I bought a vintage turntable last year that I really fell in love with and had about 6 months with it before it mysteriously stopped working. I tried everything to revive it. The dealer who sold it to me moved away, and other turntable fixers were either far away, retiring, or unresponsive. I even tried to fix it myself with the help of the internet, but it didn't work. One electrician told me to replace the vintage motor (they're very hard to find), and another repairman advised me to not pursue it any further and just get a new machine (heartbreaking news). Scott at Repair DJ Gear was my last hope. On the phone he was very professional and optimistic about his ability to fix it. After all the running around I had done, I didn't put much stock into it and considered it a hail mary, a last ditch effort before I bought a new machine. BUT HE DID IT! He fixed it and it's as good as new. In fact he fixed it twice because while it was spinning records again, later I discovered the auto-return wasn't returning anymore, so Scott made a house call and repaired that too. He wasn't going to charge me for the second fix, but I felt he needed some compensation. Vintage turntable owners need people like Scott to stay in business! I have total faith that he knows what he's doing and will treat you right. read more
