Radio repairs U.K.

[gmham]

Radio repairs in the U.K..who do you use for your Amateur radio gear ? Is there much in difference in price between them all ? I know castle charge £55 per hour labour plus any parts .

Not sure what James at the shack charges ? Always surprised at just how many folk seem to spend on repairs especially on old cb sets that to be honest are not even worth the overal cost of repairs ?!

P.S Not sure if Nick Black Spirit is still around the forum these days ? Tried to send a message via the PM facility but saying can’t send an email ?

P.P.S Just heard back from Nick ..thanks Nick .

If I can't fix it myself, I usually use Geoff at Castle Electronics.

I don't rate The Shack, but others mileage may vary. No idea how much he charges.

Dave Woods is pretty decent by all accounts.

Thanks drew appreciate the advice.

If unable to do myself depending on the radio and time for fix i would use the manufacturer. Icom were good when i used them in the past.
I have also used Geoff at Castle and was very happy with his service

Dave woods for ham gear, Nick for cb and ham gear.....The shack nope I do not recommend, repaired something for me 5 years ago came back with a problem and his attitude was sh1t.

Thanks mate appreciate that . Unfortunately heard back from Nick who has confirmed he doesn’t repair hame gear now . Dave woods seems particularly well recommended all over the new. Busy guy but his labour charges are actually very reasonable.
