I took my cherished McIntosh MA5100 to Morris & Co at George Meyer at the recommendation of the folks from McIntosh and Im so glad I did. My amp was in working condition already, but being almost 60 years old and never having been checked, I was slightly concerned about its health.I took the amp in, was treated with respect even though this wasnt a crazy $30,000 amplifier or even something new and within a couple of weeks I got the Mac back and the results of the work are staggering. Its like Id been listening to music while under a heavy blanket. Everything is clearer and more dynamic now.Having something like this repaired isnt cheap, but you get what you pay for and having my amp serviced by factory-authorized techs feels like it was the right move. Id wholeheartedly recommend George Meyer to anyone with classic McIntosh gear. Im already thinking of bringing some other non-Mac equipment to them to have it looked over.

Very responsive and quick to dissect my problem. Went in thinking my Technics turntable had an issue and the technicians pinpointed it was a dead cartridge. Great service and friendly professional employees.

If you have audio and video electronics that you love, perform well, and are well engineered, at some point youre going to need a repair or maintenence. I value my equipment and have been a customer of George Meyer for over 35+ years. Whenever I visit George Meyer, Im treated like family by the owner, Morris, and his staff and the service is always on point. I just had my Nakamichi CR-7A tape deck and Sony CDP-X222ES CD player serviced and they both sound and perform like new! I highly recommend George Meyer for your next a/v equipment service or repair.

The best in the business, very friendly staff, great work.

I took my Dual 502 Turntable to George Meyer TV & Stereo to see what was wrong with the Turntables speed jumping from 33 -1/3 to 45 RPM back in the beginning of December 2020. They charged me $80.00 for diagnostic testing, and after 4 Months, I got a call in the beginning of April 2021 from their chief of Technicians (Nels), who told me that they were able to isolate the problem, a bad Motor Pully, which he said, they were unable to locate anywhere, and so they handed me the Turntable to take home after taking my $80.00 for doing nothing! However, the fact was that all that I needed was a flat drive belt ($9.42 on eBay) that had gone bad,, which I went ahead by changing it myself, and Walla, the speed problem was actually solved! Basically I got ripped off by paying $80.00, because they misdiagnosed the problem. Just be aware!

George Meyer is one of the last great repair shops left in the city. Everyone there, from Morris at the front desk to all of the technicians in the workshop, clearly knows what theyre doing and cares that the work they put out is done right. Morris is a delight in person and on the phone - his attention to detail regarding the missing knobs on my machine truly speaks to his dedication to the repair craft. I had never heard my 45-year-old Sony receiver the way it was meant to sound when it was new, and I have no doubt that these folks brought it back to fantastic condition. Though the units full overhaul was a little pricier than I had intended at the outset, I believe it was fully worth it - and that it will now hold up for nearly another half-century. Thank you Morris & co. at George Meyer!

Do not go to this place. I had a new pioneer DJ controller that was still under warranty and they had me send it to this shop for basic repair. I shipped it out from the Bay to LA. I’ll spare the details, but basically they did not communicate with me and after 4 months they sent it back to me with the problem still not fixed! They also put large branded tape all over my new box, ruining it incase I wanted to resale. Bad experience.

I wouldnt even give these scam artists one star if I could do it. I took a vintage Reel to Reel Deck, an Akai GX-747dbx tape deck that Ive owned for 35 years to this company for a inspection and repair in June 2020 specifically of the L/R Tape tension arm mechanisms that needs to park in the down position when no tape is detected.ONE MONTH later in July 2020 they emailed me that the tape deck was ready so I picked it up, got it back home and they didnt fix the problem so I took it back and AFTER WAITING over 6 MONTHS, and after picking it up again in January 2021 the problem STILL isnt fixed.I was willing to be patient and wait OVER 6 MONTHS due to the COVID Pandemic and the problem of locating parts for a tape deck thats over 35 years old but they told me that had the necessary pats and could fix the problem. I even provided them with the Service manual myself yet after ALL THIS TIME and numerous phone calls and trips over there to inquire about the status of the repair THEY DIDNT FIX ANYTHING yet they charged me $670 just to change some blown capacitors.I suggest If you have a vintage Audio/Video component that you want fixed you DO NOT go to this place unless you want to go through what I went through and pay a lot of money for NOTHING

My father purchased a unit from this company. The company made blatant misrepresentations and refused to fully refund his money when the equipment failed despite several documents and back and forth communications with the companys representation stating that they would honor the warranty and refund his money. My father ended up sending the unit back (which was faulty). He deeply regrets supporting this business and we hope no other customer has to experience the poor scenario he endured in the purchase of his equipment.

Cant say much as the business requested customers use its shipping entrance at the rear of the building to drop off and collect jobs left for repairs due to COVID-19 restrictions

A quality service location for highend audio brands.

Opened up my turntable box and it smelled like bad breath, it was switched with an old beat up version which had a ton of skin dander all over, along with cracks and deep scratches like someone did it on purpose, I never seen my turntable again after returning it to them

A bit expensive but they repaired my stuff were super professional and gave me a warranty on their repair. Wouldnt expect anything less from a certified repair center. Biggest complaint is that its tough to find the entrance, especially during these rona times, I recommend parking in the alley way if at all possible

They have been my audio equipment repairer for over ten years. Very solid, very knowledgeable.

Very professional and helpful

They fixed my amp

Took a sony receiver in over a year ago,instead of me testing it my self I left it the shrink wrap,tucked it away in a dry place free of moisture.Today I plugged it in hooked up all the other components and it sound the same way even worse.I dont want to bad mouth them,but I dont think they did anything but take my money.Ill never do business there...other customers may have good luck,I sure didnt

Ok place, area is ghetto. Be careful where jew leave your car

Let us just say that they took 56 days to get back to me after telling me that it would be 1 month. They wanted to charge me $324 of labor to change 8 bulbs, and a broken glass face plate. They did not apply the $85 deposit towards labor that I paid. Suffice it to say, I would look elsewhere.Beware of the 5 star reviews. Most likely they are friends and family.

Great outreach, sound sdvice, earnest effort, even over the phine

After repeated troubles with my turntable and a number of cartridges, Morris and his team at George Meyer AV came to the rescue. They truly take pride in their work and providing the highest quality service possible to their customers. I will absolutely go to them with any future needs.

Morris is awesome. I had sent my Old Pioneer A-80 to another repair company and after 9 months and several hundred $ later, I received the unit back in the same condition as I sent it. When I first spoke with Morris, I could tell he was very knowledgeable. He had my unit a little longer than expected but well worth the wait. The unit has worked flawlessly for over 6 months and he even fixed the green on lamp that had been broken for years. I would highly recommend George Meyer AV.

I have had George Meyer repair my audio equipment for many years and thought it time to give my 2 cents. They are the only quality high-end repair for audio equipment. You can find many others charging less, sometimes much less. But you always get what you pay for. Recently I purchased a used Mark Levinson 20 year old 30.5 DAC from an audio store in Florida (hard unit to find) assuring me his techs went through it and is perfect. Arrived DOA. He sent another he had. DOA. I could have returned for refund, but there was no other available. Took both to GM and they used the unit going back to, supply parts on the one staying. Got it back and returned the other unit so now my guaranteed 3600 unit is 4800. 2 weeks later a different problem arose, one of the 2 boards went bad, discontinued, out of luck. Morris purchased a non working unit to put the board in mine. He probably lost money on the deal, but he wanted to keep me as a customer. No one else would have done this. Now my 3600 unit is 5600, but it sounds ridiculous. Rene and Don are two of the best electronic technicians in the business, I know, because my customers are mechanical and electrical engineers. Everywhere else you are paying for a repair, at George Meyer you are paying for the knowledge they have to properly repair a state of the art product that most others cannot.

Dropped off Music Hall 5.1 SE turntable. People were very friendly. Received a shock when the repair estimate came ! Over $100.00 an hour for labor and 2 hours of labor ! Im certainly in the wrong business.The more meaningful review will be after I get my repaired turntable and play it. Hes on the pricey side. Lets see IF hes worth it !!!

Took my Marantz receiver in and had it checked out. Two days later I received a call informing me of the necessary repairs and by that afternoon it had been repaired. As soon as I got home I put it back up and was enjoying the high quality surround sound I was missing. This was the first time going to George Meyer and I will never go anywhere else. Awesome and very fast. Very friendly service also.

Good Techs...Not so good Business. For being an Authorized Service Center for Denon/Marantz, they came across as a hole in the wall repair center without a clue. The technicians are probably good, but the business is run like a zoo. If you are shipping your device in, make sure you keep the shippers receipt/tracking info. George Meyer AV misplaced my AVR and tried to say I never sent it in until I produced a tracking number proving delivery. Took a month for them to get their story straight. Now they are forcing me to pay shipping because they sent 2 AVRs piggyback strapped together, which became detached during shipping which then forced UPS to return to them and now they want me to pay $45 each to reship. Such an unprofessional experience... Ill be sending my future repair jobs elsewhere. Im also going to make sure everyone knows what I had to go through on a routine warranty repair. Had to call these people 30 times, sometimes getting a promised call back and sometimes not. I am super patient and polite and am not a complainer. This is a bonafide bad review on this company. Thanks for wasting my time and money George Meyer AV!

Good communication.

I dropped off our Marantz tt-42 turntable in June 2018 to simply have the dust cover and metal platter replaced...it is now November and in between these several months the following occurred:I never received an initial call or email to approve the repair cost, which needs to be done before they can begin work, until I harassed them for three months with phone calls. I then received two emails, because the first one was missing the labour cost, but approved both immediately. After a week or so I emailed asking how much longer the repairs were expected to take and was told that “We are waiting to receive parts, once parts are received our technician will follow through with completing the repairs on your turntable.”Another month goes by and I call to find out what is going on and because the guy who fixes the turntables isn’t there they can’t give me an answer but will call me back in a few days. They never call back. This happens twice more, in addition to my boyfriend calling asking about our turntable on three occasions himself. No one ever calls back as they promise. In fact they tell us in October that there was never a confirmation for the repair cost, which I had done TWICE in August! So they send another repair cost breakdown and there is a new addition to the repair pieces which jacks up the cost by almost $200. They claim that the power supply needs replacing but that was never the problem.Finally, two weeks ago they tell us that because they have been waiting for that power supply it is still not ready.We tell them that wasn’t even what we needed replaced.Today, 9 November, we finally just pick it up, unfixed - nope they didn’t even replace the platter or the cracked dust cover - claiming it couldn’t be fixed due to the repair cost exceeding the value of the turntable.I will never ever recommend anyone to this place nor will I never bring them anything of ours again.

George Meyer represents all that is good in an American small business; personal, honest, fair, very knowledgeable, helpful, kind, a true pleasure to deal with. They have repaired several items for my family. They are simply the best in Los Angeles! They do not over charge and freely give excellent advice. This is as good as it gets!

Definitely a full 5 STAREveryone was friendly and attentive answering all my questions and concerns. I felt very at home with all of the employees and Morris is just fantastic guy, very knowledgeable about my Technics SL- 1200 MK2. And let me tell you the technician did a superb job restoring what needed to be done on these old original turntables. Well worth the very low price in repairing them as opposed to buying brand new turntables which would have cost double or triple at least the price. Can thank George Meyers and all the staff enough 4 saving my turntables and keeping my two babies working like new again. Thank you thank you thank you George Meyer staff. God bless you all.

Ive had an exceptionally good experience getting my Denon unit serviced under warranty with these folks. Theyre friendly, and are open about communicating the issue with my unit.It took about a month to get my unit serviced, this is because of an issue related to getting parts from Denon. They shipped it back to me in a AV unit sized box with extreme care! I loved how well the unit was insulated with thick bubble wrap and packing peanuts.Edit: Ive had my unit back for almost a 5 months now, and its working exceptionally well and the issue that had me sending the unit for repair has reoccured.Needless to say, if you live in the west coast, i would highly recommend George Meyer for any Denon related work.

My visit was as if I went to visit an old friend, vary pleasent...dropped off a pair Valodyne amps off a pair of D D 15 subs 4 days ago. Was called to inform me the repairs were completed today....Just finished installing the amps back into cabinets, put power and music into and they sound perfect....as always. Excellent work as always.....thank you Morris and staff.

Fantastic service. Their repair was impeccable and Morris is a mensch.

They were very courteous and helpful they made me fill very comfortable i found a place where I can take all of my electronics to be repaired

The folks down at George Meyer Tv & Stereo are hands down the best in the City. Theyve demonstrated consistent and helpful customer support and each time ive received the unit in a timely fashion in perfect condition.

They simply offer incredible service... They repaired my Pioneer Elite Plasma Television in just 72 Hours !!!!

George Meyer did an initial diagnosis over the phone and gave me a quote. When I got the invoice it was 50% higher and included a charge of $30 for additional materials. All they did was glue the knob back on my MX406. Not kidding. I emailed Morris, the owner, complaining about being charged way more than I was quoted and he replied, Enjoy your life!The problem persisted, of course, so I sent it back. The CD transport came back out of place so I sent it back again. I sent it back yet again since the original problem of the audio dropping out and coming back in still persisted.After spending $400 to fix my head unit, they then said the problem lies with the separate amplifier - as if to say it was obvious. I complained that I spent $400 to repair the head unit that WASNT defective and they stopped communicating with me.Rather than giving these jokers more money to repair the McIntosh amplifier, I bought a new one and will sell the defective one as-is to try to recoup some of my money.If they are the only repair center for your equipment, you might not have any options. But if you do, Id steer clear.

Excellent people, excellent experience, ive bought some records and they even let me hear a bit in a 140 k system, it was like test driving a Lamborghini or something like that. super cool people who are just willyng to understand you! 4 stars business.

I bought a new stereo system and had them install it. Everything went well and there was no visible wires or anything but a week after one of the speakers stopped work. I took it back and they fixed the problem free of charge. Good service!

Highly skilled technicians, quality work, sometimes fast, other times slow. Highly recommended

Scam - do not be fooled by the charming owner who glanced at my 2 receivers when I was dropping them off and deduced that i lived near the beach hence the rust. Was then charged $75 a unit to diagnose and not called back for 2 weeks. Finally I called and got a call back the next day from George informing me that his workers had spent 2 hours sanding the rust on my receivers before checking with him if they should continue and he instructed them not to at that point. I am expected to believe they actually spent hours on them before checking with him and deciding they were too rusted. More like they unscrewed the back and the decision was made. Didnt know my $150 dollars was worth your reputation. Lame!

I dropped my Arcam Alpha 10 last July I got a complete runaround about getting two capacitors from Japan (the manufacturer had to make some more) and then an ASIC or PROM issue and on and on and on. I always had to call them; they never ever called me. I still havent got my unit back. I bought a new one instead. Dont waste your time and money with these jokers. Very unprofessional, completely useless.

THESE GUYS REBUILT 2 OF MY CAR MCINTOSH AMPS AND DID A GREAT JOB, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE! GREAT COMPANY

They always do excellent work!

Friendly and skilled staff.

Some repair could be good, but some they cant.Beware of this shop, they cant fix as they promissed.I spent $150 for my Fisher TX500 Receiver, for nothing. The other one Krell KSA80 power amp, they fixed it anyway with way more expensive than initial quote, the white noise is gone, but sound quality is not good as it was. I believe they replaced parts, not exactly same as original spec.Not happy with the result of their service.

Morris and his staff are all top notch

One of the last good electronics service center in LA. Moving to a new location in October 2016

Morris has repaired both a Pioneer CDJ-400 and a DJM-850 for me over the past few years. Both pieces came back within a week working like new. Cant recommend these guys enough.

The service at George Meyer is outstanding. They have high repair standards, and will go above and beyond to make sure your equipment is returned to you fixed, cleaned, and generally as close to new as it can be. If you have vintage audio gear, or just want a job done right, I cant recommend them more.I have a 70s Marantz reciever I bought from a pawn shop. It was hardly perfect when I got it, but it worked for a while. When the problems got to be too much, I took it to Geroge Meyer. After a week or so, they had fixed it to my satisfaction, but not theirs! The main technician convinced me to bring it back the following weekend for no additional charge so he could get it working up to his standards. It was worth it; its like new now. Thats money well spent in my opinion.

Took three items in for repair, paid the $75.00 fee on all three and was told later they couldnt repair the units. This was after I had specifically told them what was wrong with the units. Wasted $225. The units were an Onkyo amp, a Technics turntable and a Panasonic DVD player/recorder.

We took our marantz receiver to this location, 1) they are rude!!!! 2) they said it would take them a week to fix it I called on a Wednesday to see how it was going and they said they hadnt had time to check it, 3) they call me the next day and say that I can go pick it up so I drive from riverside all the way out there bring it home and oooohhh surprise!!! The receiver its still doing the same thing!!!!! I called marantz and they even said it was amazing that they would even say that it would be ready in a week! Also when I told them that I had to go and pick up the receiver my self they said that they should of shipped it out to me because they pay him to ship the product back, now marantz told us to take it back to him so he can do what he was supposed to in the first place! But no thank you! So whoever reads this review think twice before you take your electronics there

Excellent Sercice Center!!!Tech benches are properly equipped with evaluation, diagnosis, & measurement tools.The techs are all highly knowledgeable, and GMTS has many techs with equipment manufacturer certifications. They are an authorized manufacturer repair center for many brands.They back up their performance on repairs with actions, not empty words or unfulfilled promises.As is my case many times, I need it today. They have a time sensitive solution available. For a bit more on the bill, they expidite. GMTS has always performed stellar when I have asked for an expidited repair.As someone who is does know how to repair practically anything, finding a business that I can rely upon to perform stereo equipment service to my personal benchmark and satisfaction is very rare. These people are A+ in my opinion.Led by Morris, just an awesome human being in his own right, they get it right the first time, deliver on time, and you never feel like you got taken. If he says he replaced a part, they actually did.I have never had to return anything to them that didnt work when received back from service. It also always works properly & GMTS backs up service work with certifications, knowledge, and documented measurements.Rather than the usual service shop ego, hubris, and conjecture, GMTSs staff is helpful, kind, and understands your needs. They know the equipment you bring in for service is your personal treasure, and a highly annoying unplanned interruption for you. They make it as painless as possible.They are the real deal, I am a long term customer, and this review was not solicitated in any way. Great people should always get their kudos, thats all.

This people are the WORST IN THE PLANET!!! How the hell are they still in business is puzzling!!!I had my $5,000 Velodine subwoofer picked up for service back in November of 2014 by these guys.9 months later they still servicing it, blaming some part issues on Velodyne. The head guy Morris is a big liar, never returns calls when he promises, bullshits all the time, (like claiming on the phone that he shipped out the unit to the manufacturer months ago, then Velodyne verified a month after the supposed shipping date that they didnt get it. I had to call Morris again, he forgot what he lied about two months ago and again promised to ship it to the manufacturer the next day! Finally about 3 weeks ago Morris told me that the unit arrived back fixed from Velodyne, they just need to run some test on it to be sure everything works,... Since then I cant get him on the phone; - he is always with an other costumer, on a conference call, out of the office, etc. Secretary promises he will call right back, but he never does! Why have Velodine these unprofessional and constantly lying jerks as an authorized service station is a big mystery to me. They should fire them immediately, and I wish that George Meyer Audio goes out of business!!! And very soon!!!

Epic.

Awful! Dont come here!! They took 8 months to return my pioneer stereo back to me! They never call to keep you posted and the always seem to place blame on someone else. My problem was solved when they just did a defective claim on it with pioneer, however that took another month. Awful business.

I brought in my Denon AVP for an upgrade that many online forums said had mixed results with other repair centers - got mine back the next day and everything worked.

Repaired a subwoofer for me.

They repair all kinds of audio equipment.

Fixed my electronics.

Pretty bad in communication

They are the best !!
