I had a large flat screen Samsung TV, still nice and about 8 years old, whose picture suddenly went out. The audio still worked fine though. Ironically, it was Best Buy that recommended ANN ARBOR ELECTRONICS & TV as a business that might be able to fix it, and they did!!! It's a straightforward business, cash only, where you bring in your product and they assess (for a fee, that will be applied to the labor costs if fixable) the situation. Everything was spelled out upfront. You must call first to make an appointment. I will totally recommend these gentleman to anyone in need of such a service. Thank you Ann Arbor Electronics & TV!

Here's what you need to know: 1) George is an interesting dude so prepare for a bit of an experience. Great guy, you just need to depart from the expectation of a traditional business exchange. 2) George works out of his home. It ain't BestBuy. More like Uncle George's garage. Which is totally fine. 3) He opens at 10am and closes at 2pm. You're just gonna have to figure that out. I dropped off and picked up on my lunch break. 4) Call ten minutes before arrival. George is a busy man. No time for surprises or small talk. He's an electrician, not a game show host. 5) Back into the driveway. George prefers it that way. Just do it. 6) George is a bit difficult to understand on the phone. It's not his medium. Get over it. 7) Cash only. Period. 8) He's quick. The garage door opens, you drop off. Leave him a deposit (cash- he don't take Apple Pay and he ain't reading a chip) He calls a couple days later to give you the facts; what's needed, what the cost will be and when to pick up. You back in, garage door opens, check your stuff out, pay the man (greenbacks), take your stuff, garage door closes, you leave. 9) George is a really good dude. He represents a time when a man had a skill and that skill demanded fair pay. I enjoyed paying the man for his work and I appreciate his craft. We need more Georges. 10) Write the man a positive Yelp review. He's the only guy in he area that does this kind of work. While calling around, no one knew where to go. One suggested a guy in Grand Rapids. Someone else suggested a guy in Chicago. There's one George and we got him here in Ann Arbor. Consider yourself lucky. I do. Don't forget: Cash, Call ten mins before, 10-2, back in.

We replaced it only to find that the power cords had been changed out from the big box store working in it... which then burned up the new fan and aio cooler. It was a MESS. I have never had this many issues with any unit I had built in the past or with the big box retailer who was selling the components. After some consulting, returns/exchanges, Seth and I ordered a different brand AIO. He installed it, clean installed windows, did some cable management, and got my computer back up and running. He did much more labor due to the issues that arose throughout the process, but never raised his price above his maximum estimate. It was an incredible experience. He was very communicative throughout the whole work process.

This review is based only on my experience with Frank's repair. Be warned…read more I built a tube amplifier from a Mojotone kit and despite triple checking all assembly steps when I fired it up (unplugged) was created with very loud buzzing which increased in volume with increase in amp gain controls. After frustrating review of every assembly step and verification that there were no cold solder joints or bad grounds I gave up and decided to have trouble shooting done by a certified amp tech. Frank is an elderly gentleman who works out of a very poorly lit and cluttered small apartment. I should have known better but I was anxious to get my project up and running. Now Frank's terms are $100 minimum and repair work not to exceed $150 without owner permission. Seemed fair so I handed over $100. Six days later Fank advised the amp was repaired with a balance owed of $200. The rationale was that he spent six hours totally rewiring the amp at $50/hour. He never advised me that the repair would in fact exceed the $150 "not to exceed" stated in my order. Nor did I ever ask Frank to undo all of my work and re-wire it. All I requested was for him to troubleshoot it and correct the issue. He does not have an oscilloscope so another red flag that should have had me running for the hills. It's my belief that Frank could not diagnose the problem so he decided to re-wire the whole thing. A good amp tech should have been able to pinpoint the cause of the buzzing without going to the extreme of rewiring everything. When I arrived at his apartment to check out the repair I plugged in a guitar and immediately noted that the loud buzzing was gone but there was a very noticeable hum which got louder with increase in amp gain. Frank said "oh it wasn't doing that when I checked it out". I unplugged the guitar and hum remained. Frank implied it was normal and I should expect that at high gain with a vintage tube amp circuit. I question Frank about the $300 charge without my consent and he said because he has sent me a text with a picture of the work in progress that should have sufficed as my approval since I did not say stop. I paid him the additional $200 thinking that the hum was perhaps environmental electro magnetic interference. I got the amp chassis home and installed it in the cabinet but the objectionable hum did not go away. I contact Monotone tech support and they advised that a properly built kit is dead quiet except for maybe some tube hiss at max gain settings. Frank's paperwork stated that the repair had a thirty day warranty. When I called him out on this he refused to do any further work on my amp and he said the he got it working and he was not about to but any more unpaid repair time in it. He said "you gave me an amp that had no output, it works now and hum was not the issue. It's your project, welcome to the world of electronics. Figure it out buddy" I decided to troubleshoot the hum. I discovered a cold solder joint connected to pre-amp tube V1 and that Frank had mis-wired the center tap from the power transformer. I removed that wire from the wrong location on the circuit board and soldered it in its correct location. Hum gone. Amp dead quiet even at max gain settings. I highly recommend that you think twice about using Ann Arbor Amplifier for amp repair.

He loved it but suddenly it stopped working. What to do? Shipping is expensive and hazardous. I found Bartsonics on Craigslist a few blocks from the customer. A local to check it out, perfect! The customer had told me that the only repair place there quoted him a six month wait to even look at the amp. He didn't know about Bartsonics. The next day, yes, the next day, not six months later, Bartsonics had checked the unit out and a verdict was in. The amp was perfect. No issues at all. The customer was the issue. That solved it for me. If not for Bartsonics I was on the hook for everything, big return shipping, whatever, it was on me. As it was, I was in the clear. They saved me. Thank you Bartsonics.

My most recent one was very mind-boggling to say the least, and this came after downloading the newest iOS version to my iPhone and I couldn't get my device to boot-up. Likewise, I couldn't use the restore function either, which meant my phone was dead in the water, and I needed help fast! I knew I needed professional help, so after reading the reviews for "Ann Arbor iPhone & Macbook" on Yelp, I knew this was my first go to choice. I decided to drive down to Washington Street, rather than call on the telephone. I talked with Jack on the phone, and he came right over to look at my phone. After examining the patient, he decided to download the iOS update again, and reboot my phone. After that I was able to access my iCloud, and restore the phone back to normal. Jack does amazing work, and if I could give this review 10-stars I would. IMHO, Jack is really the "IPhone/Macbook Whisperer" and does a truly professional job all the way.
