CB Repair Shop Recommendations

[riverrat373]

I live in the Pacific Northwest and am looking for some recommendations on good shops that will accept mail-in repairs. Has anyone heard of R&R Communications in Wilmington, DE? How about Walcott Radio in Walcott, IA? Do they do good work? Are their service fees reasonable? I am looking to get a tune-up and peak , add some colored LEDS in the meters and channel readout to a Robyn SB-520D. I just purchased this radio on Ebay recently and it looks super. It seems to work OK but I want it checked over before I start using it full time.

I'd recommend Chris Holland at 'The Radio Shop' in Ontario, CA (southern CA). Don't know of a shop I'd trust in the NW; in fact I don't know ANY shop in the NW for that matter.
Phone number (909) 390-5056

I agree with no shops in the northwest! Does he have a website?

I found the website but it appears that they only do Galaxy and Cobra radios.. I will call tomorrow and find out for sure. Thanks for the info Robb!

Chris is the West Coast authorized repairman/warranty guy for Magnum radios.
Didn't think he needed a website.

There are some good recommendations in this thread: https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/which-cb-shops-are-still-accepting-mail-in-repairs.202763/

I have sent my Magnum twice to Chris Holland. He has got the radio back in great working condition both times. I only had a two week turnaround this last time and the repair and shipping price was very reasonable.

He works on other radios besides just Magnums.

Just had Walcott work on a 2950, DJM did the work & all was done superbly. Just sent them a 2990 & another 2950.
Walcott all the way.

Les is pairing a Hornet 2x4HD w/ a new 2995 for me we shall see how that comes out.

I lived in Wa state from 2007-2017 and never found a west coast tech. I either sent my stuff east or it went in the pile and I bought another.
Reminds me of the time I sent Junebug of BMK amps a Royce 642 base to refurbish and he "lost it". Lost it my ass but thats an old story. My point is always send radios out with the expectation of never seeing it again.
