Audio Repair Los Angeles.

Typical turnaround is 2 to 4 weeks once the gear is on the bench. Full console or tape machine restorations run longer — we'll quote a realistic timeline before any work starts. Rush service is available at 2× the standard rate for session-critical repairs.

Yes, anywhere in the LA basin. Quoted by distance — included in maintenance plans. For consoles and tape machines we coordinate freight directly with you.

Most of what we work on hasn't been built in 40 years. We stock vintage parts and source NOS components when needed. If the original part is truly gone, we'll either substitute a calibrated equivalent or rewind/rebuild the original.

No. Pro audio only — studio, broadcast, live, and production gear. If you're not sure what category your gear falls in, call and ask.

Only when the original isn't available, isn't sourceable in any reasonable quantity, or has known reliability issues that the modern part solves. We document every substitution. The default is always to preserve the original signal path.

$125 per item bench fee covers diagnostic and minor work. The bench fee is non-refundable — it pays for the time on the bench whether or not you proceed with the work. Major work is quoted before we proceed: $125/hour labor plus parts at cost + 10%. Rush service available at 2× for time-critical session work.

Boyle Heights, just east of downtown LA. 123 S Myers Street. By appointment for drop-off and pickup — we're a working shop, not a retail counter.

For larger gear, yes — site visits for consoles, multi-machine rooms, and full studio optimization. Single items it's almost always faster on our bench. Site visits are part of our maintenance plans.
