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...

Quality, customer service is priceless. How does the amp sound?

Happy Listening!
Did they give you an estimate before starting the repair work? You should have asked for that! 
Why I drive a Hellcat.

But @arcticdeth is right, you get what you pay for. 
My buddy has an auto repair shoo and his sign says “We fix $39.00 Brake Jobs” his lot is always full fixing other people’s work. 
Quality audio is expensive. 
  Same as BMW, Alfa Romero, etc, expensive , yes, overcharged,,.........maybe, maybe not, what parts did they use, top quality parts? Find out, ....
does not seem out of reach for such an amazing amplifier...
