AVS Audio Service & Repair 1612 Cabrillo Avenue, Torrance, CA 90501

"Dave is an exceptional gentleman who took care of my Pioneer SPX 950 receiver with kid gloves to make it sound like it originally did almost 50 years go! He takes his time to do it right (thats why i left my PL560 turntable to bring it back from the dead). Highly recommend anyone that has stereos from the 70's to take to him (ck what they're worth today $1000's) worth the investment!"

"Dave took care of an old weathered Marantz 2325 for me. I wasn't sure it would ever work again as it was stored in a cold wet garage for years. It looks and sounds amazing now. He is very competent and patient. Kept me up to date and detailed all the repairs even though some were too technical for me to understand. I would highly recommend him for any of your repair needs. First class."

"This place is a true gem. I've taken two pieces there; a vintage receiver and a rare vintage amp. Dave fixed and refurbished both of them to excellent functioning condition. I've taken gear to other places in which the repair didn't last, but Dave's work is still going strong with no signs of problems. He does not upsell unnecessary repairs, only what is indeed the problem or something that will fail in the immediate future. He knows all types of gear both tube and solid state. I'm actually about to bring him another piece, because I love vintage gear and I trust his work."

"I highly recommended Dave at AVS for your vintage audio equipment. Dave is honest, very knowledgeable, reliable, has excellent service and quality of work as well as reasonably priced. In my case I needed a fast turned around which he was able to supply. From the quick diagnosis to repair he kept in communication and gave a detailed analysis of every step. He recommended changing the lamps on my 78 Marantz receiver and it looks great! I am Extremely satisfied! Almost forgot, it’s a good location with plenty of street parking I Initially went to another shop in LA that said they specialized in vintage equipment. They not only took over two months, I had to contact them for any status updates, they charged an excessive amount and didn’t fully repair my system as they said they could do. I felt as if I was scammed. I wish I would have gone to Dave at AVS first. Extremely satisfied!"

"Dave is a true electronic craftsman. We was able to bring back to life a 1964 CBS/Pye 360 for me in a couple weeks. Being about 55 years old, many of the issues were from worn components. He was able to locate an electron diagram for the unit and it was replace and test until it came to life. A beautiful sounding machine, and I'm grateful he stuck with it, as I'm sure it was no easy task. He was very fair in his pricing for the amount of labor and parts he put into it. Thank you so much! Amazing little shop."
