Uber expensive repair at United Radio


Anybody’s experience with United Radio (East Syracuse) as a service center? I will never do business again with these guys. They charged me $1,971 to repair my Classé Audio C-M600 monoblock amp...Forteen hours @$120/hour to replace two 16 pins chipsets...They provided me a discount on their regular hourly rate, which is normally set at $140/hour...

I called them this spring to take a look at my McCormick DNA-125.  They wouldn't touch it.  All the techs around here ( Hionfi, Sig Sound) besides them had at least a 8 week back log.  I called Audio classics in Binghamton, they wouldn't work on it either.  But they did recommend a place called Hyle's Audio in Johnson City.  Brought the amp down there and he had it fixed in a week.  Total price was less then $100.

I think the only time I actually had United fix anything was an Alpine car CD player that was under warranty back in the 90's.
