For production companies and audio departments

Load-in is Thursday. We know.

Card on file, projects as the organizing unit, and plain answers about what can and cannot be back in time. We never promise a turnaround we haven’t confirmed on the bench.

No paid repair work starts before you approve the estimate. Purchase orders welcome.

The four steps

Four steps. Always four.

Start a Repair

Pick the item, describe the problem, add photos or a recording. About two minutes on a phone.

Get It to Us

Ship it, request a Box Kit, schedule a pickup, or bring it in by appointment.

Review + Approve

Read the Bench Report, hear the evidence, then approve, approve with a PO, decline, or ask.

Repair + Return

Tested, labeled, shipped or held at will-call, with the report for your records.

Receiving, diagnosis, parts, manufacturer service when it is needed, QA, and packing happen inside these steps. You see a plain-language update, never a status code.

One ticket, start to finish

We fix what a bench can fix. For the rest, we deal with the manufacturer so you don’t have to.

Cables, connectors, jacks, switches, battery doors, cold joints, cleaning, re-terminations: that is our bench. When a repair needs the manufacturer or their service center (board swaps, firmware-locked parts, warranty work), we pack it, send it on your behalf, chase it, test it when it comes back, and return it to you. Same ticket number, same contact, one invoice.

We tell you which path it is on the Bench Report, before you approve anything. Manufacturer service time and cost are passed through and shown as their own line.

Sent on for youManufacturer or service-center work. We ship, track, and test on return. You see “With the manufacturer” on your ticket, not a tracking number to babysit.
ReferredMains power, high-power amps, anything we won’t touch safely. We say so at intake and point you to who will.

Built for shows

Projects, not just tickets

Group repairs by show or client. See everything for one production in one view, with the dates that matter.

Card on file, approve from the truck

Approve estimates from a phone. Pay by card at release or on net terms once you have an account.

Bench-confirmed dates

When timing is tight, we tell you what we found before we tell you when. No turnaround claims, ever.

You can hear the fix before you pay for it.

Every Bench Report carries the evidence: intake photos, our findings, a recording from our bench when the problem is something you'd hear, and the test result. You approve from your phone. No billable work until you do.
