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...

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. 
Did they give you an estimate before starting the repair work? You should have asked for that!

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

Happy Listening!
This is exactly  why I  went DIY for all my repairs. 
I rebuilt my amps completely, using high-end boutique parts and still came in below my quoted repairs. 
The mono Block amps now sound Breathtaking. 
Cannot beat DIY. 

Arcticdeth - They replaced two 16 pins IC ($56/each)...

Jasonbourne52 - They did provide an estimate, but what choice did I have? Scrap my monoblock pair? $140/hour to repair an amplifier? I have owned 2 Mercedes and 1 Audi and both  dealership repair tarifs were lower  than United Radio’s...

Jafant - The amp sounds great, but at what cost? Paid $6000 for the used pair. If I include shipping + brokerage fees + repair cost, I basically purchased my monoblock a second time.
