An excellent company

I am very pleased with the service. They kept me informed all the way through, my equipment was repaired and delivered on time. Not to mention the excellent customer service. If anyone needs their equipment repaired, this is the place to send them to.

Completely misinterpreted my request

Completely misinterpreted my request. Impossible to reply to their email. I simply wanted a couple of (supplied) small backup batteries soldered to a circuit board. Instead they couldn't quote because they tried to convince me there is a fault needing diagnosis and parts required!

Dear Maya,

Thank you for your feedback. Our goal is always to provide accurate quotes rather than risk giving misleading estimates. Since there are various types of batteries and soldering methods, we requested the device be sent in so we could assess it properly and provide an exact quote. Of course, this decision is entirely up to the customer.

Regarding communication, we use a ticket system, chat, and phone support to ensure efficient handling of requests. If you need any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out through one of these channels.

Best regards,
EP Customer Support

Paying for no repair - avoid

Quoted widly out because they did not bother to read my quote request propery, leading to wasted time for me and this organisation & personally inccuring £16 cost just to send in my item with no repair done.

Explained this to their customer service system, I offered to meet half way and pay half the costs even though i through believe this is all their fault. They rejected this notion.

If they had read my quote request properly, called or communicated on the matter woudnt of sent it in, but instead paying for a waste of time and no repair.

My advice - Use a local company so postage not required and can quote in person ACCURATELY -- Or competitor of this organisation as not a good service

Dear Ben,

You did not pay for a repair—you paid £8.10 for a professional diagnosis and £7.90 for tracked return shipping after choosing not to proceed with the repair.

We read your request and provided an estimate based on your description, but an estimate is not a final quote. A quote is only given after inspection, as clearly stated in our Terms. Your final quote reflected the actual internal damage, which could not have been assessed externally.

Our process is fully transparent and applies equally to all customers.

Best regards,

What a find

What a find! Excellent service and repair time. I highly recommend this company as live in a rural environment with no audio/repair services locally. Also good collection/delivery via Royal Mail.

Electronic Partners you kept me informed throughout your care & repair of the audio system. I am very relieved you were able to repair it.

I did feel it took quite a while for the whole process to be concluded but the end result is what is important.

Thank you so much.

Charged me over £90 to deal with a battery issue, and did even replace the battery. No warranty because of liquid damage. No doubt they have covered themselves in the very small print in their t&c s.

Dear Mark,

Thank you for your review. We’d like to clarify that the issue with your device was not related to the battery but rather liquid damage, which we successfully repaired. The battery was tested and found to be functioning correctly, so a replacement was not necessary.

As with all liquid-damaged devices, we are unable to provide a warranty on the repair, as is standard practice across the industry, including with manufacturers. This is because liquid damage can cause ongoing or latent issues that may appear over time.

We also want to assure you that our terms and conditions are fully transparent and clearly presented, with no hidden or "small print" clauses. This information is readily available on our website and in our FAQ section.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.

Best regards,

Lenco turntable

All proficient in completing the repair and very clear in explaining in what and how it is being done.
My only criticism would be the amount of time was taken.
From the time it left my house to it being returned it was a month, which I thought was a bit excessive.
I would use again though

Helpful from start to finish. Good service from a HUMAN, always much quicker and more efficient. Best result is that the equipment now works. Many thanks to all concerned.

Avoid this company

Their advertisement was misleading, their estimate for a repair excessive, and I had to pay a £20 fee to get my board back for nothing whatsoever done. I been dealing with electronic repairs for 50+ years and this is my worst experience of a company.

To be clear, the website says in big letters 'FREE ESTIMATES' The web page which I have archived refers to replacing a specific chip. NO time was 'spent determining' what to do, the website offered to service a HP server board exactly like mine.

I do not expect the company to be able to diagnose the fault which is known and indeed in their quote they say they cannot verify their repair works!

£137 is a long way FROM the figure shown and is bait and switch. It a lot of money to change ONE chip which can be sourced for $8

£50 for the work would have been acceptable. I base this on having run a successful company engaged in Electronic repairs of computer boards certified by IBM and Epson as a repair centre for 25 years. I now have a quote for this job from another UK company for £30 labour + the part.

I talked to customer services which was answered by an abrasive guy with a European accent who told me I should 'learn how to read English'. I did that before he was born, and have drafted better, fairer and more visible T&C myself. I paid a £20 ransom for nothing except to get my board back.

My 'expectation' was based on what was shown on your website, a full understanding of what was involved, personally repairing electronic items myself and using other companies for this type of work.

Although the charge is shown ambiguously in the T&C - it was not not shown specifically on the bait and switch website offer, which said 'free quotation' I suggest you add "if you decline our quote, we will rip you off for £20 to return your board having done nothing"

Still not impressed.

UPDATE: Reported to the ASA for misleading advertising. Complaint upheld and company contacted by the authority.

Dear Jim Watt,

Thank you for your updated review. While we appreciate feedback, it’s important to clarify some **misunderstandings** for the benefit of other customers reading this.

1. "FREE ESTIMATES" Does Not Mean Free Work
- Yes, we offer Free Estimates, and this is done before a device is sent in, based on the information provided.
- However, when a device is physically sent in, we provide a formal quote. At that point, if the repair is declined, a Service Charge applies —this is very clearly outlined in our Terms & Conditions.

2. "Nothing Was Done" Misconception
- While we do not physically test every PCB (as clearly stated in our quotation process), time was still spent reviewing feasibility, sourcing parts, and preparing your quote.
- The £20 Service Charge is for this process, not only for work performed — just like any professional service, time and expertise are not free.

3. "Bait and Switch" Claim
- The website states that PCB repairs *start from* £22, which refers to *basic repairs*.
- Replacing a *BGA chip on an HP Microserver Gen8 motherboard* is *not a basic repair*, and the *£137 quote reflects real costs* — not a made-up figure.

4. The "Learn to Read" Comment
- If a customer selectively reads parts of our website *out of context*, misunderstands key distinctions between an *estimate* and a *quote*, and ignores our *clearly written terms*, frustration can arise.
- Our *T&Cs are legally sound and industry-standard*. If further clarification is needed, a *legal advisor or Citizens Advice* would be happy to explain how *estimates and quotations* differ.

5. "£50 Would Have Been Acceptable"
- We respect that you have a personal idea of what this repair should cost.
- However, *what is "acceptable" to one person is not always what is feasible for a business to offer*—we are not a charity, and our pricing reflects *real labor and part costs*.

6. "Customer Service Was Abrasive"
- Our team simply *reiterated our clearly written policies* when you continued to dispute them.
- If factual responses are perceived as abrasive, we encourage customers to *review the provided information carefully before assuming bad intent*.

Final Clarification
- The *£20 charge is not a ransom*—it’s called a *service charge*, which is *standard practice in the industry*.
- Your board was returned in the *condition received*, and the invoice was *settled correctly*.
- We operate *fairly, transparently, and within legal guidelines*—but we cannot control a customer's expectations if they do not align with reality.

We genuinely wish you all the best with your future repair endeavors. If nothing else, we hope this experience has encouraged a deeper appreciation for the *difference between an estimate and a quote*.

Best regards,
EP Customer Support

Very poor repair.

Had my Evoke Pure Radio repaired some time ago, and the fault is back. Opened the back and found the aerial lead not been properly secured the aerial, and a load of gel junk slapped on to the connection. It took 2 months before i got my radio back. They have a flashy website, but trying to contact them is impossible. I tried to phone but got a recored answer to say they were not in, even though on the website it stated they were. Choose someone else is my advice.

I would not recommend this company

I sent my Bose Wave system to Electronic Partners for repair. After assessing it, they informed me that a partial repair was needed, costing £135, in order to diagnose the issue and carry out a full repair. They were unable to give me an estimate of what the full repair would cost. Since reconditioned Bose Wave systems are available for roughly the same price—and considering the additional £30 service charge and return-packaging costs—I decided not to go ahead with the repair, and chose to have the device recycled instead.

This experience made me reflect on whether this approach is simply how their process works, and I wondered if purchasing a reconditioned unit online might even result in receiving my original device back. Before receiving the partial repair quote, I had been impressed with their communication and efficiency. I would recommend that others read the small print carefully, as I also hadn’t realised there would be an extra charge to have the device recycled

Dear Mrs Cripps,

No, this is neither a scam nor sharp practice. We provide a professional repair service with transparent pricing, and all costs are clearly outlined before any work is carried out.

To clarify, the £135.00 quote you received was for a partial repair necessary to diagnose the full fault. This is a standard industry practice when an issue cannot be fully identified without some initial work. We do not base our quotes on the cost of purchasing a used or "reconditioned" unit from third-party sellers, as we do not sell such devices ourselves.

Additionally, the £37.00 service charge is not hidden in "tiny small print"—all our terms are presented in the same font and size and are available for review before proceeding with any service. We always provide cost details upfront, but it is the customer's responsibility to review and understand them.

We respect your decision to decline the repair, and if you have any further concerns, we would be happy to address them directly.

Best regards,
EP Customer Support

Repair of Cocktail Audio x 10

I was at a loss to find anyone to repair my cocktail audio which is quite old and contains all my favourite cds from over they years.
I was regularly kept informed of progress and spares that needed to be purchased. The end price was very reasonable especially compared to the price of a brand new audio or it's equivalent. Really pleased to have my old friend returned. My only negative is that the packaging for the return was not adequate and new casings etc had dropped off and there was a split in the metal side of the box. It doesn't detract from the fact it's working perfectly and the split cannot be seen where the box is housed. Thank you Electronic Partners! Inv: 40077432

Whilst I did pay for the piority service it was agreat turnaround and repair, plus fast shipment.

Only thing that let the side down was the Royal Mail 24 hour service to EP that did not perfom to its description.

Say it as it is

This firm is very professional, they keep you informed of the progress of the repair with emails from the minute you send it in, to when you they return it to you.
I sent in a Bose Solo sound system not working and when I received back it’s working exactly as it was when new.
I certainly would recommend them to anyone who has a problem with sound systems
