Rex fixed a couple things for me in years past when I lived in Vancouver. No complaints, he's a talented guy. I bought a refurbished set from him back then too. By the time my big screen went sizzle pop I had moved to Portland so I took it to a closer shop. They estimated 7-800 but after almost 3 months they didn't have it fixed. I took it back, called Rex to see what he thought and then drove it over to Vancouver. He had it for 4 or 5 days and called and told me it was done, 375 bucks.\r
That was a year or so ago. I was thinking about getting a new set and used the opportunity to pick his brain about all the new stuff out there. He and his guys spent allot of their time educating me about ALL of this stuff I had no idea about. Then I went out and started doing some shopping around.\r
I recently ended up back in Rex's shop. He let me trade in my big screen toward the new Toshiba DLP\r
and surround system I bought from him. He and his guys delivered it, set it all up, took away my old one, calibrated the new one and set up an HD antenna for me. I didn't even know that new sets need calibrated or that there was such a thing as an HD antenna but I am really glad that Rex did. My system is amazing and I couldn't be happier with it. \r
I spent a pretty good chunk of change for that whole thing, but I don't think I would have spent much less anywhere else and I would have had to deal with the whole thing myself. I'm a smart guy, there is plenty that I can handle, but I know when to differ to the experts, and this was one of those times. \r
As long as he is in business, he has my business. He has proven himself to me too many times now to go anywhere else, even if I have to go to Vancouver.\r
Hey Rex, let me know if you ever get into auto repair! I am still looking for a good mechanic.
Pros: A business owner that actually does the work and is accountable to his customers.
Cons: For me, the drive to Vancouver
