TESTIMONIALS

I finally drove my broken CAD VX2 over to Derek. He did excellent work. Not only does the mic sound better than ever but he is totally transparent during the repair process.

For example(s):
– he texts videos and audio capture of the problems and solutions that he’s trying — as he’s performing the repair.
– he let me know about go/no-go decision points, in case I want him to stop work to help constrain costs.
– he tracks his labor time on a stopwatch app — and sends a screenshot of the timer when complete.

His invoice describes the problems he encounters and the solutions he provided along with next-steps for additional work, if warranted.

Also, he’s a genuinely nice guy! I will certainly be using his services in the future and highly recommend his work.”
