Paul’s Audio & Video Center

Paul fixed a broken cassette for me. The price was reasonable and he finished quickly. He was honest about the limitations of what he could do. The tape had deteriorated to the point that, rewinding it would cause it to break. He spliced it and I was able to bring the spliced tape home, record it into my computer (without any rewinding), and thus, save for prosperity an only existing recording of my 90s band in performance.
The price was $ 20, which included labor, and a new cassette shell for the repaired tape. I gave Paul the tape on Friday afternoon and it was done on Monday morning. Paul called me on the phone on Monday morning to let me know that the tape could not be rewound without breaking. He is the one who suggested that I could still play it anyway, just without rewinding. I hadn’t even thought of that.

Paul’s phone manners were less than desirable. He was rude and crass. One phone call and I knew that I didn’t want this guy to fix my TV much less be in my home.

My TV has been having some weird speaker problems so I figured I’d at least try to get it fixed before sending it to it’s final resting place. I found Paul in the phone book and he took my TV the same day. You do have to pay to get an estimate which was kind of a bummer, but if you get it fixed there, he applies the estimate fee to the final bill. He was quick and friendly and although the super small shop is a little messy, he seems to know what he is doing. He even offered to pick up my TV and deliver back to my house (for a charge of course) but I decided to save myself the money and just bring it over myself. I’d suggest you do the same if you have the transportation because I found the «pick up» price to be pretty expensive. Regardless, my TV is back to new and I’m happy! Plus, turn around was only one day!
I should mention also that he only takes cash and checks and the price was probably a little bit more than I thought but still relatively reasonable for an area that I think is rediculously over priced anyway. I was hoping my problem would only be about $ 100 and it was closer to $ 160, but what can you do, a girl needs her TV!
