Headphone repair

Radio/cd/dvd issues

Update (2/6/2025): still have outstanding repairs, & will remain closed for a few more months

At the moment, I still have several items that need to be worked on. Even after finishing those, Ypsi/Arbor Electronics will be closed for several months due to other goals and responsibilities. I’m currently expecting to reopen in mid/late summer. Thanks for your patience.

About Us

I offer affordable electronics repair in the Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor area. I have

a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology from Eastern Michigan University, and much of my professional work has been electrical and repair oriented. I also have a long history of repairing my own electronics, as well as for friends and family.

I work on a wide range of electronic devices, not limited to the following:

• Headphones (Bose, Beats, Sennheiser, Sony, etc.)

• USB port replacement

• Small Appliances

• PCs/Laptops (port & screen replacement, not software/BIOS issues)

• DVD/CD Players & Radios

• TVs (50″ or smaller) – no backlight replacements or glass removal

Scroll to the bottom for a more detailed list. If you have a faulty device, just ask!

 

However, I do NOT currently service the following:

• Smartphones (Apple, Android)

• Tablets (Apple, Android, Amazon, Samsung, etc.)

• Computer SSD/HDD replacement or software/registry cleanup

• Data recovery

There are other shops in the Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor area that are much more familiar with those devices and services.

Contact

The best way to contact me is via email at contact@YpsiArborElectronicsRepair.com

or YpsiArborElectronicsRepair@gmail.com

Or, during my regular business hours, I can be reached via text or phone: (734) 383-1102

Text or email is greatly preferred over voicemail.

 

hours

My regular business hours are as follows:

Weekdays (Wed – Fri): 7pm – 8pm

Saturday: 3pm – 6pm

I do not answer my phone before 7pm weekdays. I may also miss your call during regular business hours. However, feel free to send a text message, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

 

rates

I charge an initial diagnosis/inspection fee of $20 (per device), and then $20 per hour after that, plus the cost of parts. Some small issues can be fixed within inspection/diagnosis without extra labor charge.

Typical repairs cost between $40 and $100, but each job is different. If I cannot fix the device, or if you choose not to go through with the repair, I just charge the diagnosis/inspection fee ($20).

Location, Pickup, & drop-off

I am based in Ypsilanti, Michigan 48197.

Most repairs are done by scheduling a drop-off time at my home, typically during posted business hours
