Bench Fees

How Our Bench Fees Work

$45–$195Most bench fees. High-value components or very large jobs are occasionally more.

Charged at intake, credited to your repair

Every service job starts with a bench fee when we take the unit in. It’s sized to the issues you describe and the type of component.

If you go ahead with the repair, the bench fee is applied to your final bill. If you decide not to proceed, the bench fee is retained to cover the diagnostic bench time.

Custom speaker cable builds are different: they’re fully prepaid when you order through our Custom Speaker Cable Builder.

The Same Bench Stands Behind Our Inventory

Every used and vintage amplifier and receiver we sell lists its service level, so you can see the work it took to get there. Level 1, 2 or 3, every unit leaves the bench meeting the same performance standard — see what our service levels mean. Turntables, decks, disc players, tuners, speakers and subwoofers each follow their own bench standard, and every serviced unit passes a second bench test by a different tech before it’s listed.

FAQ

Repair Questions, Answered

What is a bench fee?

A bench fee is charged at intake on every service job. It’s sized to the issues you describe and the type of component. Most bench fees range from $45 to $195; high-value components or very large jobs are occasionally more. Custom speaker cable builds are prepaid through our Custom Speaker Cable Builder instead.

What happens to the bench fee if I go ahead with the repair?

It’s applied to your final bill, so you don’t pay it twice.

What if I decide not to proceed after diagnosis?

That’s your call. The bench fee is retained to cover the bench time spent diagnosing your unit, and you take the unit home.

Is there anything you don’t service?

We don’t take in tube gear, reel-to-reel decks, speakers over 80 lbs each, or micro-sized players. Walkman-size portable players are fine.

How long does a repair take?

Most jobs are completed within 10 days to 4 weeks, depending on complexity and our service queue. Custom wood veneer work typically takes 3 to 12 weeks.

Is repair work guaranteed?

Yes. Every job carries a 90 day warranty on work completed, and every repair passes a second bench test by a different tech before it goes back to you.

Can I ship my unit to you?

Not local? Contact us about shipping your unit in, and we will let you know whether that makes sense for your repair.
