Ann Arbor Amplifier

I have a late 60's Fender Bassman amp that had never been serviced since I bought it in 1993. One of the channels wasn't working anymore and I was getting a hum that would come and go on one of the other channels. Frank got everything working again, new caps, new tubes, new power cord to replace the one that had bare wire showing at the plug, and all cleaned up (except where my buddy spilled a beer down the front during a jam session 😂). It's not always easy to find people who do quality work on amplifiers and it's a huge asset to have someone with his knowledge and ability in the A2 area. Frank did outstanding, timely work and I would recommend him.

WOW! The service here is FANTASTIC. I called at least 3 other repair numbers and did not get one person to answer the phone or call back. The first try I got Frank (the owner). Immediately, he answered my questions and set up a repair date. He was on time, and tried his best to save me money with expert advice. He was quick, efficient, knowledgeable and well stocked with parts. I cannot recommend him enough!

Called on a Sunday evening. Asking about a portable radio. And Frank let me know he doesn't work on that stuff. He gave me a couple of possibilities to my problem.Franks a straight up guy. He did not sell me anything I didn't need. Will recommend Frank to anyone who needs the service,he does provide.

Nice enough guy but I would recommend against taking a high end (Friedman and the like) guitar amplifier here. Had it three days and told me he had to “look up the schematics online”. I halted the repair process there and told him I was taking it to Dean Zink. Dean had me in and out in an hour. It was a bad cap. Dean diagnosed it in 15 minutes and again, had me out while I waited. I was trying to save time and stay local as it’s hard for me to get out to Sylvan Lake to see Zink. Also, when I got the amp back from Frank, the chassis was not tight in the box. Screws were less than hand tight, and he had stuffed a piece of paper in between the box and chassis (unbeknownst to me) asking Dean to call him and let him know what he found to be the problem. An overall unprofessional operation. He was nice enough, but when it comes to a $3500 amp head…….see Dean!

Frank is the Amadeus Mozart of electronic amplifiers! Not only does AAA fix amplifiers - but it is also the only Amp Repair shop this side of the Mississippi to have a happy hour listing in Yelp (it’s 7-10 and I highly recommend it). Frank makes EXCELLENT conversation while he works - If I could give six stars, I would!
