LCD TV repair

Hi, I found Oscar through homestars. he was quick to arrive, pick up my TV, fix it and return it working great. The cost was reasonable and he was pleasant and seems eminently qualified (I believe he has a Masters in Engineering from overseas, if I recall). You might find cheaper service, but I would be wary. You usually get what you pay for when prices are super low. His prices were fair and he was easy to deal with. And he knows what he's talking about and doing. I recommend Oscar heartily.

LG LED Projector Repair

I called Oscar in the late afternoon, described my issue (my LG HS200 projector had stopped working, and several pins had been burnt on the unit's green LED connector), and within two hours he showed up at my doorstep (I'm writing this minutes after he departed). I had some family friends--an electrical engineer and a mechanical engineer (with two Masters degrees between them)--evaluate my problem the night before and both agreed that the intricacy of the soldering job was beyond their abilities. Oscar provided me with a fair estimate ($100) on the spot, guaranteed me that he'd fix the projector, and said there was an 85% chance that he'd have it ready for me the next day! So far, I'm very impressed with his service; I'll follow up when the repair is done!

Wall-Mounted TV Installation

I would highly recommend AMI Repair Service (and Oscar in particular). He was punctual, polite, extremely hard-working and highly knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to use Oscar again and recommend him to my friends/family.

TV Repair

I have a big screen Sony and one day it stopped lighting up, the sound was ok but the picture was broken. I figured it was over but the guys came out, took my tv away and brought it back working better than when i bought it. Thanks Oscar

Harmon Kardon AVR-525 Repair

---wow, finally able to complete my review... Mac computers aren't compatible, coundn't get into the review area...now got hold of a PC...anyways..
Harmon Kardon AVR-525

This receiver is a beast! Loved it from the day I bought it.
Last couple years, had problems with dimmed front display, and then intermittent audio. Then the audio totally quit.
I looked at some of the newer receivers and was impressed with all the bells and whistles, but knowing, still, there really aren't anything like these older models.
I called Oscar after reading some of his reviews to see if it was worth it to try repair it.
This man knows electronics! He came to my home & tool a overview look at the problem. He gave me an estimate for the repair that was reasonable.
He certainly lived up to his stellar reputation. Problems fixed - LIKE NEW - WOW!
Total turnaround time of the repairs was four business days. It only even took that long because of the extensive troubleshooting Oscar does for the benefit of his customers.
He kept me up-to-date as the repairs & trouble shooting went on.
He stands by his work with a one year warranty.
I couldn't be happier with his service!
Oscar will have my future business for any electronics work I need.
He saved my receiver and saved me MONEY.
He is the only person I now recommend to my family and friends looking for electronics repairs.

Attempted Plasma TV repair (not worth the cost of repair) and subsequent purchase of new TV

Oscar was very professional. Came out to pick up my TV the same day I called and felt he was honest in that he told me the TV was not worth the cost of repair. He then indicated that if I wanted to pick a TV from a retailer (he recommended Panasonic, Sharp and Samsung LCD or LED - not plasma as the technology is being slowly phased out) he could get me a reasonable discount on it. Well he ended up recommending a great Samsung LED TV 50" and the picture is fantastic. He delivered and installed it for me and spent almost an hour on the installation as my PVR (which is old) was having difficulty working with the newer Samsung. In the end he got everything working perfectly. Thanks Oscar!

Stereo receiver repair

The drama happened yesterday. I'm a classical music critic and educator, and suddenly my beloved 1980s Luxman audiophile amplifier conked out. Right while I am in the midst of preparing a a lecture course, and with a deadline looming. This is bad. Now what?

I remembered HomeStars, and suddenly I found myself reading accolades about an electronics fix-it fellow named Oscar, who even makes house calls, and so I dialed his number and left a detailed message. He returned my call promptly, and said he could drop over in about 3 hours. Sure enough, a pleasant fellow came when he said, and assured me my receiver could be fixed, or if I wished he could sell me a replacement. He said he would call me the next day, after assessing the repair at his downtown workbench. If I wanted to go ahead with the work, he would then have it fixed and returned to me the same day! I had a good feeling about this, and a handshake sealed the deal.

Sure enough, everything unfolded today as anticipated. This morning I gave Oscar the go-ahead for a substantial $350 repair/cleaning, and indeed he returned my amplifier and reconnected my stereo system some hours later. He could not have been more pleasant or professional, and clearly enjoys his work, which he has been doing in Toronto for 30+ years.

Most astonishing to me has been neither the speed of this repair (though it is remarkable), nor the willingness of a bench-repair guy even to make house calls. No, the most startling is that my Luxman receiver now sounds substantially better (30%-40%?) than it did before it broke down! In short, I asked for a repair and instead I got a major improvement. The sound is both warmer and more present, given all the circuitry and filters Oscar replaced.

The word "wow" springs to mind. And the phrase "thank you." I need to use consult the HomeStars website more often.

Projection screen TV possessed by demons.

Oscar is the exorcist to our problem. The tv switched off without my consent, and usually during the climax of the movie. Damn tv demons... I mean could you imagine what it would be like to experience the build up on Rocky IV, when Rocky is about to KO Ivan Drago and then click! Ugh. What an issue. Anyway, turns out that there was a problem with the projector light. A replacement was ordered and got here post haste, installed by the man himself. Friendly, professional, accommodating. All words I can use to describe him. Well done Oscar.

Stereo Fix

One of the speakers on my Sony bookshelf stereo had been cutting in and out for at least 6 months. I finally got fed up and called Oscar, after reading his reviews on Homestars. I called Oscar at 6pm, told him my problem and he said he would come over in an hour and a half. He showed up right when he said he would, took a look at the stereo, and quickly diagnosed the problem. He said that one of the RCA jacks was loose and that he would take the stereo with him, fix it, and return it the next day - all for $55. He delivered the stereo the next day and it sounds fantastic! He also provided a one year warranty. I highly recommend Oscar!

Samsung Television Possessed By Gremlins

Our D.L.P television started turning itself off randomly on its own. Of course this always happened in the middle of my favourite program or the ending of a really good movie. My husband found Oscar at A.M.I Repair online and gave him a call. He was here the next afternoon and quickly diagnosed the problem. The estimate was very reasonable and the work completed promptly. Our television is back to working perfectly. Thank you so much for everything ! I would highly recommend calling Oscar at A.M.I for any of your repair services !
