Equipment Repairs: Current Wait Times…. click here for more details

Updated June 9

WE DO NOT REPAIR:

Multi-track recording decks
Walkmans
Cassette decks
Home Theatre stereo equipment
Reel to Reel machines
Car stereo equipment
Jukeboxes

Currently we are approximately 5-6 weeks until we will be able to look at your unit to estimate and then approximately 2-3 weeks to repair after you give us your approval. It also depends on whether parts need to be ordered. Expect longer delays if parts need to be ordered in from the USA. We will keep you posted as these dates change.

We get asked fairly often why the long wait? Well the answer is pretty clear – we have one of the best in-house service companies in Canada. Because of that we have people sending in their treasured pieces from all over North America to be restored, repaired and resurrected from the dead. And the more gear that comes in means the lineup for service gets longer and longer.
The expertise and knowledge required to work on both stereo components and speakers takes a skill set most qualified technicians just don’t have. Some know a little of this and a little of that, but very few can do it all. And that means people send us gear to estimate and repair from all over B.C., Alberta, Washington State and sometimes even from the Yukon and NWT.
Rest assured when your equipment is looked at and repaired by the best then it’s bound to work as it should, requiring far less repeated attempts by “garage” techs to get it right the first time.
Now are we perfect? We like to think so, but we know we’re not – we’re human and do take the extra care and attention to hope that we have handled your repair properly.
Can we predict how long your unit will last after the repair? Nope and we can’t tell you when another repair is required in the future. If we did we’d probably buy a lottery ticket and start on our early retirement!
We have been here for a very long time, doing what we love best and that’s restoring your treasured equipment as fast as we can to ensure reliability and future enjoyment of your gear, but that comes at a cost of taking longer to get back to you. We ask you then, would you rather take your vintage gear to a shop that says we can have it done in a week or one where the reputation is known all over North America and could take up to 2 months but it’s done right. It is a hard decision when your equipment is important to you, but I’d rather go where you can trust it’s done right and have been in business a long time doing only one thing – VINTAGE STEREO EQUIPMENT & SPEAKER REPAIRS!

Be sure to call or come on into the showroom to have a look before IT’S SOLD! First come – first served.

FEATURED ITEM FOR THE WEEK OF JUNE 2

Not too many of these speakers are found nowadays so do yourself a favour and come on in and give them a listen before they disappear. We’ve marked them down from $995.00 to $725.00 for this week only!

Here’s some crazy specs on these speakers (click on the link below to find out) and they are still available at $3250 US!!! So I’d say at $725 Canadian they are quite the bargain.

Surrey Vaisakhi Parade – Saturday – April 22nd

On Saturday, April 22nd, our shop is on the outside edge of the one of largest parades held outside of India – Vaisakhi Parade! Details about what is Vaiskhi can be found here: https://www.surreyvaisakhiparade.com/what-is-vaisakhi/

As this will impact everyone around the area for parking, roads, traffic, etc. we are advising our customers if they do not need to come into the shop that day, unless early in the morning, based on past years, it will become extremely busy and very frustrating to get to us.

We will be open from 10:00am to 4:00pm that day, but if you need to come in, King George Hwy would probably be your best route to drive to us. 132nd may be blocked in certain areas or re-routed.

We are excited for the community and it’s an exciting cultural event, but on the backside it’s a logistic nightmare! Expected turnout is estimated at around 500,000 people descending into the area.

If you have any questions, or concerns, please refer to this website for the map of the event and roadways affected – we are located close to the ICBC Drivers License Center on 78th Avenue, which you can see on this map. On the outside of the yellowed area.

EASTER LONG WEEKEND

Easter Long WEEKEND

We’ll be closed for the Easter long weekend from 5:00pm Thursday, April 6th, and reopen at 10:00am Tuesday, April 11th.

Hopefully the weather is good and that you get outside to enjoy the cherry & plum blossoms, the daffodils and maybe, fingers-crossed, some tulips, as they come into bloom. Maybe even go on an easter-egg hunt!
