Ami Electronics And Repair Service Inc.

Hello. I took my Sony NWZ-A17 MP3 Player for a battery replacement a few months ago and unfortunately, the battery was no good. At the suggestion of Oscar, in terms of where I should look for a good battery, I found one and he was able to install it, good as new.

I just want to say that Oscar was very personable, friendly and helpful and I would definitely go back to him if I needed any other electronic repairs done.

To begin off, I am not the type of person to leave a negative review, but here I am because I am forced to. I am still more than happy to work out a solution with the owner but deception is why I am leaving this review. Im still leaving two stars because his customer service was decent, but not the repair job.

So I dropped off a Sony 8mm camcorder to be recapped a year ago, Oscar said no problem
I will rebuild it like new again a month goes by and Oscar said he replaced many capacitors inside, but the capstan motor is broken and unrepairable he said. I took his word as he was the tech and so I thought an expert. Months went by because I was waiting on Oscar to see if he could get a capstan motor. He couldnt fix it but he claimed he replaced most of the capacitors and that put a lot of time into it and the image is crystal clear now and the camcorder can be used using its external video outputs, I thought thats fair enough, I respect people for their time and labour and I paid Oscar $360 ($100 in advanced and $260 when I picked up the unit) finally.

Now, I was told that the unit was recapped (the image should be crystal clear and the unit should be usable through the video outputs. I am very disappointed because the camcorder is acting exactly like how it did before I dropped it off for repair (staticky image, rolling image, the camcorder still smells like rotting capacitors when turned on for a few min) sometimes it wont even turn on after turning it on, literally all my time and money went into the garbage.

Now the reason why Im disappointed is that because Oscar told me that the issue was a capstan motor. But it turns out I took the camcorder to two other technicians and they both said the issue is with the servo board capacitors which have ruined the multi layer traces on the board (it has nothing to do with the servo motor and many models share the same boards from the line of Sony 8mm camcorders from the early 90s) but Oscar claimed the parts must be from the exact camcorder model but that is untrue because most of these camcorders from the same line used the same chassis and parts, that being said I feel deceived because the camcorder is exactly like how I sent it in for repair when it supposedly went in a repair and claimed that many hours were put into it however I have received the camcorder and it acts exactly like how I did before I dropped it in for repair. The only difference is that I paid $360 for a camcorder thats exactly like how it was prior to repair. I am an honest and reasonable person and paid Oscar because he put his time and effort into it and claimed that the camcorder should work besides the VTR part. However its literally acting like how it did prior to dropping it off for repair, I just feel ripped off.

I would still like to work with the owner (Oscar) to see what he can do to improve things and what we can do to improve the rating to five stars and reach a solution.

I got Fantastic service, fair prices they are very dedicated to their work, top notch place . I highly recommend.
I had to get a specific part repaired , it was a very difficult part to find or to find anyone who could fix it . AMI came through no problem they did a great job.

Great smart tv repair. Cheap in comparison with other competitors. Technician checked the my tv and found out the issue on-site. He located the problem quickly. Thank you for your assistance. I recommend.

I met Dr. Moz nearly 10 years ago and he never disappoints. He can fix everything (cured copper heater, PEMF device, steam iron, dead laptop, colloidal silver maker, etc.) and I've proven it.

This is the second time my laptop died for no apparent reason. Last time something melted on the motherboard. Ordinarily, I would've had to replace the entire thing. A repair would've been impossible. Oscar fixed it then and fixed it now. Different issue, this time involving one of the hard drives.

Also, as my luck would have it, the amp on my speaker system blew after my having them since 2007. He fixed that too.

Needless to say, Oscar is my go-to for anything that needs fixing. I live in Oshawa, but travel to his shop whenever I need to. I can't recommend his services enough. Hopefully I'll have better luck with my devices this year!

I have an old record player / radio that was my grandmothers, speakers and radio was not working well. Came over in only a couple days to my house, fixed the sound as best he could and added a hook up for my IPhone. Could have done a bluetooth. Anyway, it is not perfect but we are very happy with the job - it is what it is. We could have gone much more expensive as he could have done more but we are happy with $150.00 fix. I do recommend him!

I have an approx 20yr old stove and a replacement electronics control board costs 1000 for some reason. Oscar fixed it for 250 and its working perfectly. When I dropped it off he said the cost was 250, if i put in back in and it didn't work, he would come to me house (!) and try and get it working, and if that still didn't work, he would refund half my money. I was stunned. Gave me a 1 yr warranty on his repair. This guy is awesome.

Oscar is a genius!

I have a WD MyStudio external hdd full of irreplaceable photos and it wouldn't turn on. Unfortunately WD encrypts your information on this HDD whether you like it or not.
I determined that the PCB with a unique encryption chip had failed. The only way I could retrieve my data was either to find another exact copy of this PCB, which turned out to be impossible, or send the drive to a data recovery specialist who would charge $1000 to retrieve the data. A third way occurred to me: fix the PCB. Who could do something so fiddly and complicated? Well, it turns out Oscar Mones can. I couldn't believe it when I took the PCB home, installed it on the HDD and it WORKED!! He determined which components were defective and replaced them and I have retrieved several years-worth of photos. Hats off to AMI Electronics
