Being home based – all jobs are by appointment only – use the contact form to get the response within a 24 hours.
For urgent jobs I do operate a fast track turnaround service for a surcharge (see price guide). Mention this in your enquiry if relevant.
For individuals that cannot make it to a drop off you can send your amp over via friendly taxi driver, courier or I may be able to collect/dropoff.
For schools, studios and other organisations with multiple amps I offer a collection / return service.
For long distance repairs using a courier then you can reduce the courier cost by removing the amp chassis from the cabinet and sending. Making sure it is carefully packaged up and well insured. Recommended for amps that do show signs of life i.e. they power up OK.
How long will my repair take? The typical repair process operates like this:
- Enquire and get an appointment – typical lead time is 4 -6 weeks. optionally send in a sound clip.
- When the appointment comes drop the amp off as arranged. We will have a listen together to the amp and I can usually give some indication of the fault / issue.
- Repair/service process typically two to three weeks will keep you informed especially if anything unexpected comes up. The delay is to accomodate any parts that need to be ordered in.
- Get notified by email that repair / service is complete and the bill, how to pay and to arrange a pick up time.
- Pick it up and get back to making music.
