Business ProfileforCAE Sound

Brought my ****** VS **************************** for repairs. I needed the about 40 capacitors replaced and four transport buttons replaced. I am part of a ****** VS **** *************** This is a common problem. The capacitors wear out with age, and it is a common replacement item. I reached out to all. members of the group and asked them how much they paid to have the capacitors replaced. Answers range from $200-$500. So far CAE sound has run up a tab of around $1500. And they have had my recorder for nine months now. By all accounts this is a basic electronics job. Take old capacitors out and replace them with new ones. Basic soldering skills. so, CAE has finished replacing the transport buttons, and they seem to work fine. But for some reason, *****, the technician at CAE said he is hesitant to replace all the capacitors. He has replaced some, but not all. Bottom line is this job should not have taken more than 90 days at the most. And thats a very very generous time estimate, and shouldnt cost more than six to $700 all included. my complaint is the job is taking way too long, its not even near being finished yet, theyve had it for nine months and charges are already up to $1500 and counting. So I estimate by the time they finish, if they ever do, it will be around a year and somewhere around $2000. That is a far cry from $200-$500. So my complaint is extremely overcharging a simple job, and taking way way too long to do some basic. simple electronics work. There are folks on my ************** that have done the job themselves with no experience and they said it took them a day or two. so far I have paid $685 and the recorder is not fixed. Also when I went in to talk to them and. discuss the work so far I discovered a new problem that was not there before CAE touched it. So, on top of all this, they have not finished a simple job, created a new problem, which Im sure they are going to want to charge me for fixing.
