John may be a great guy and all but HORRIBLE service! I dropped off an amplifier to his shop 7 months ago in February. I called about a month or so later to check the status of repair and was told he was working on it and would call me back. Never did. I called again about 2 months later and was told that he would call me back by Friday. Never did. I call again 2 months later and was told the part has some glue from manufacturer that was hard to remove but he would call me back to let me know if he could get it off to repair. Never did. This month I decide to go by to check on my equipment and was told it could not be repaired. So, you're telling me that it took 7 months to find out that you could not remove glue! This is the biggest rip off I've ever experienced! It's OK if it could not be repaired but be considerate of customers time as well and at least call back as you stated that you would.

I took two Fender Tube amps to John McDowell and after 7 months and a half dozen calls to him I finally got them back...One amp(Super Reverb) he got working but said that all 8 tubes were bad...I had a hard time believing that but it was working. The second he told me that he went through it and heated up some cold solder joints, charged me and extra$170 bucks..got it home and it started the same terrible distortion that was why I took it to him in the first place..I called and he said bring it back and he would look at it but would have to charge me another bench fee...I said no thank you and took it to Tim Dennis (251-776-2785) in Mobile AL. Tim replaced some capacitors and resistors found mulitple cold solder joints and fixed the amp in less than a week. I would highly recommend Tim Dennis...while John is a nice man ...I would never recommend going to him...I feel like I was ripped off.

John is such a great resource for troubleshooting and repairing your electronics. He has decades of knowledge and experience and is very friendly as well as a true professional. He stays pretty busy and is an army of one so be patient when you drop off your item for him to diagnose and repair. Worth it in the end ! John repaired my 40+ year-old Sony turntable and I am thrilled with it. THANK YOU JOHN ! (Tell Todd and Jamie I said HELLO !) John Moodhard ?

This business is just fantastic. A dying breed. You walk into a couple of rooms filled with floor to ceiling gadgetry, wires, tools and old hi-fi’s. And in the middle of it all is John. You know you’re in safe hands. He is a master of all things hi-fi. It does not matter the age nor the condition of your equipment, he has the knowledge to run diagnostic tests to figure out what is wrong. AND what needs to be done to get it working again. His prices are also very reasonable.I cannot recommend him enough. My only concern is that who is going to take on his mantle in years to come.

John is a true professional. I needed to get my McIntosh MC2105 up and running and he did everything he could to make that happen. He also explained the repair I was performing with greater detail than I could’ve hoped. He pulled up the schematics and walked through the reasons why the resistor in question may have gone bad (or not) I hope to visit him soon, thanks again for the quick service, -Rob… PS if you’re into audio history definitely stick around for his stories, if he has one that day, I’m glad I did.

Recently warming weather inspired me to break out my Harley for the riding season. The radio has not worked properly since the bike was new. It was my good fortune to find John on a Google search for an electronics repair shop. I dropped off the radio and in less than 24 hours John called to tell me he was done with it. The radio works perfectly for the very first! To say that I would recommend John is a gross understatement. This gentleman has accomplished a feat that Harley found out of their league. Thanks John!
