Probably the only place in Houston I would trusts to bring my high end equipment. Mr Tom has more than 40 years of experience. He fixed my vintage synthesizer. He did a fantastic job. Exceed my expectation !. It made it work again. It’s not cheap but he would do the job and guaranteed. I’m very happy with your work . Ty

Provided exceptional service for my four (4) stereo equipment. Worked with me on the price to ensure I was happy with the finished product. I would highly recommend coming to this shop for any of your electronic needs.

I brought in a 50 year old turntable which needed parts that are no longer made. It was a little out of my price range to fix it here but the owner worked with me on being able to pay for it and help me understand why it was going to cost with a cost me. Amazing customer service! For being a small business I understand the hard work it takes to keep a business running especially during this economic climate and era of a pandemic. Being flexible on the cost it’s a risk for the small business to take but it only speaks towards the amazing customer service.

Took my 1997 Sony Camcoder (old VCR camera) to get repaired. This was the only place in town where they said they could fix it. Took them a week but camera came back looking and working better than ever!Highly recommend this place!!!!!!

Good fast service, his initial $80 was comped in the final bill. It has been a week and the TV is working as before without any hassle. Tom also hooked me up with old silicone circuit boards for my hobby projects, which was nice of him.

Excellent service. TV I had repaired is thus far working perfectly. Tom even worked with us on the cost of the repair, which I greatly appreciated. Im already thinking about bringing a second TV to United for repair.

They fixed the circuit board for our treadmill, badly damaged by movers. I wasnt able to find a replacement board online, thought the treadmill might be a goner. United VTR fixed it fast and for a reasonable price, highly recommended!

I took my marantz 4K receiver in to United VTR. They did a great job fixing it. Couple years ago I had another receiver go bad and they repaired it as well. It is still going strong!

I didn’t think my tv would be able to be repaired or if it’d be worth fixing. but, Mr. Tom was able to find everything he needed, within a week. And had it ready for me to pick up 4 days later. He is flexible with payment and is very amiable, and communicative.

My mom had an old Sony Camcorder that would eject tapes and I had found this place on google. We went in and it was $80 dollars to evaluate and then the owner called you back to let you know how much the cost to repair would be. Owner was very kind and gave us a good price for repair. Repair took about a week and he made it a point to say that if our camcorder was still not working that we could bring it back in. Would highly recommend.

I was so happy to find this place. I have an older Sony camcorder that would not play or eject tapes. I knew it was an older technology and was worried that it was a lost cause. To my surprise United VTR Services told me to bring it in and were able to fix it quickly for a fair price. I will definitely be using them again.

Review №28

I called ahead to ask if they could repair an older Sony Camcorder. I wanted to discuss it before driving all the way there. He said I need to come in. So I drove all the way there only to be told right away that I have to pay $80 just to look at it. I just wanted to know how much it would cost to replace a faulty lcd screen cable and he couldnt, or didnt want to, tell me. Only saying the $80 will apply to any repair cost. He has to open it to diagnose. If he is a professional, and has repaired this issue in the past I would expect he could give me a ballpark price for this repair and not just tell me pay $80 and Ill tell you later the price. By the way, its $150-$250 minimum for repair. Very disappointed. Drove over an hour for this.

Disappointed DO NOT TRUST! I brought in a device to troubleshoot. Provided detail information. Diagnosis conclusion did not coincide with my product information. Cha-ching! How much you willing to pay to fix? Instead of honesty it should costs XYZ to have this item fixed. Beware “SCAMMED” out of a $80 service call fee. Another merchant evident trying to Make-Up for Lost Revenue in the Aftermath of COVID-19.

I had been looking around for a fair priced T.V repair service a friend referred me to one company and they were just as well very high to repair my TV. I was just about to give in too what I thought was the normal, now after so much research the going price for repair on a Samsung smart tv. I then looked into United electronic Services. Very good work,great pricing,and they fix my smart remote as well save me a small fortune thank you guys over there I appreciate it.

They were faster with fixing my TV then said. Tom negotiated price with me. They are very concerned about customer service. This was the second time I used them. They will charge you 80 dollars just to open up the device but they put that towards the total bill. They do have a warranty for their work and I have not had any complaints with the quality, nor have I needed to use said warranty.

Very nice place. Less expensive compared with other places. I check the other places with good google review. I am not sure the service, but I dont want to deposit $120 or $160 there before they open the box. You can get your stuff fixed with reasonable price here however. I really recommend this place.

United VTR Service is your one stop shop for electronics repair. I have brought in two large speakers here for repair here, and both times have come back in near-perfect condition. They give you fair prices for the work, and are extremely flexible. I was out of town for a few weeks and they held onto my speaker for the duration of time I was absent. I would highly recommend!

We had an initial misunderstanding regarding the terms of the warranty for a used TV. After some time they did all they could to make it right and to be sure I was satisfied. I appreciated the earnest desire to help resolve and give me what I paid for 110%. Great customer service. Thank you.

I absolutely love this place! At first I was very weird about trusting someone that would repair my TV without overcharging me. I was completely wrong. Tom was very upfront and honest with me about the cost to repair my TV. He actually saved me lots of money. Irespect his honesty and his compassion forthe customers. Most businesses just try andrip you off, but Tom actually gave me anaffordable price! His coworker and repairman is also nice and professional. They bothtested my TV to make sure it works before Ileft to ensure I got my moneys worth. I would refer anyone that needs electronic repair to this business. I am so pleased and happy I came to United VTR Service!

Review №63

United VTR in Houston has been around for quite a long time whereas a lot of similar shops had been closed due to extreme hardship imposed by the changing of times since electronic devices like the prices of TVs, DVDs, Cameras are coming down steeply. Survival of the strongest means a lot in the tough competition in which only the hard working people still stand and rough it out. I whole-heartedly recommend United VTR as a place to bring your electric / electronic devices for repairs since it deserves your attention. -- Long Nguyen

Review №66

I recently took my 50 inch Panasonic TV to United VTR Service for repair due to issues with my HDMI inputs. The owner of the shop was very courteous and professional when discussing steps for repair with me. The cost for estimate was very affordable compared to other TV repair stores in the area. He told me that they would be able to give me the estimate for my TV within three days, but to my surprise they promptly got the estimate back to me within one day. He was very informative in calling me to discuss all the steps that needed to happen to fix my TV and why. The shop worked incredibly fast and was able to order a part necessary for my TV, and fix the TV in less than a week. They provided me excellent service at a very affordable price considering the needs of my TV. I am extremely happy with all of the work that United VTR did for my TV, and will bring all my future electronic repairs to this store! I highly recommend to anyone in the Houston area that has issues with your TV or other electronics to take your devices to United VTR service!!!

I brought in a Luxman 5M21 amp that I purchased used with problems in both the left and right channels. Tom assured me they could fix it. It took a little time for the repairs but the amp sounds amazing now. I will definitely use United VTR services for my electronics repairs in the future. I even had a couple of questions after the repairs were done and Tom was very helpful answering all of them.

Review №73

Tom and United VTR are excellent at repairs, even with higher-end products. My home surround sound receiver is still working several years after they fixed it. Yes, expect an up-front diagnostic fee. It takes time to disassemble, examine, and reassemble so it makes sense theres a charge. Very similar to some automotive repair shops. However, this gets folded into the cost of repair if you go that route. I felt like the price to repair wasnt cheap, but it was fair. In my case, replacement boards were no longer available so the parts had to be replaced and hand soldered individually. Feels great to have my favorite receiver still running! Thanks!

I would recommend to take your vintage game consoles here, they brought my system back to “brand new” value and I was very amazed, I also received it back in the same shape I gave it to them in without any newly added marks or scratches so I see it was handled with care, the only con you may think you see here is the cost but for the quality of service you get it is well worth it if you wanna keep your modern or vintage electronics going.

Review №84

Not to be trusted. Tom will take advantage of you and adjust the price based on superficial aspects instead of technical. First, charge $40 to $80 for a diagnostic. Kept my TV for almost a week. I get called with an outrageous quote of $275.I was misled by the positive reviews which I now believe are prob not legitimate.

Review №89

They fixed my Panasonic 60 plasma that had a bad HDMI board. Its $80 for them to check it out and then the repair costs which started at $520 (so $600 total). They have a board that states that most repairs are $150-$250 but that was not the case for me. In my experience, flat panel repairs are in the $300-$600 range which can almost make the repair not worth it. Youll need to negotiate with them to get a better deal but at the end of the day, Tom fixed my TV and got it back to me very quickly.

This place was very good !! Fast and good service. They gave me multiple calls to keep inform on the work being done and the price. Not bad prices you pay either. the $80 to find the problem also is deducted from the total price. I recommend this place for anybody low on funds and need you tv fix and dont want to worry about getting rip off.

At the first time he told me can fix my reciver. 100% 80$ after 6 day I went to Hes shop says 350$ for old receiver. After I told him I will call to police he return only 40$ back. He just try to get 80$ advance and do nothing.

I dont think Ive ever seen so many bogus reviews. Seems like this business might do okay for a select few customers but for the vast majority, they have no time for you and the only effort they do put forth is when they are racking up charges and padding their invoice. Use at your own peril.

I took several (old ) items ( Portable tv, lamps, lighted mirrors ) to be repaired at this shop.Mr Tom had done a great job with all of them. I had never needed to return for problems. ( they offer some weeks guarantee for their work done)He charges a fee to see if the item is fixable, and honestly tells you in advance if the piece is worth to be repairedHe is knowledgable and works pretty quick considering he may need to order some old model parts.I highly recommend them, they had been in that business, in the same place for over 20 years!

Competent repair. Speed was average, price was 2 or 3 times higher than expectation for my stereo equipment. Diagnosis cost 40 dollars, they do allow you to put that towards a repair, but expect to be spending more.
