The very Best.

Time owned: 0 to 3 months

I just purchased my Kenwood TS 870s had it about a week and the transmit died. So I sent it to Clif, All I can say is absolutely great. Clif is one of the nicest guy to deal with. I contacted him many times and he was always a pleasure to talk to. All I can say is if you have a problem with your Kenwood send it to Clif. If I every have any more trouble I will use his repair service again. Just Great Period!. Also by the way, I had two predriver for my rig, Clif let me sent them to him without forcing me to order new ones, now how about that. You don't find many people willing to help you save money this day in age. The cost is more than fair.

TS-2000X Repairs were Great, Reasonable and Pormpt.
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
|
I have used AVVID two times and my experiences have been excellent for both. Much better than my experiences with Kenwood East. AVVID actually does component level repair, not just board swaps. Prices are very reasonable and service is prompt. Communications are very good also. My two problems were with a TS-2000X. Both were difficult to find problems, but AVVID found the problems and fixed them.

TOP NOTCH SERVICE - TS450S CHIRP PROBLEM
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
Imagine doing CW with an old TS450S and have people shouting at you throughout the cluster world saying things like: "go fix your radio"...and giving you 597 reports on the bands. Well, this happened to me.
A friend in the US suggested I contact Clif Holland, of AVVID Kenwood Service, in Texas. But I had a problem: I live thousands of miles from Clif, in another country, and I could not send my radio to the US. Therefore, I approached him with the possiblity of a remote repair proposal, not knowing what his reaction would be.
Well, Clif wrote back in less than one hour and, concisely, told me to check two or three very simple things. Five minutes later I was on the air getting T9s from everyone. But, those very simple things, were not so simple after all, because none of the folks I had contacted before about this problem (professionals and amateurs alike) knew where the problem was. So Clif "knew", even from a distance, where the problem could be. That is knowledge and experience.
Clif was very professional and very generous. I can only give him and his professional Kenwood Service, my highest recommendations.

Kenwood East said my TS 940Sat wasnt worth repairing. Clif repaired it for lest than 300.00 and been working every day since. Go figure.

Clif is the Best!! Excellent Service!!
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

Awhile back, I sent a Kenwood radio to Clif for repair. He did excellent service on the unit at a reasonable price.
I sent another old Kenwood TS-680S to AVVid for repair. The unit was intermittent and quirky with age. Clif repaired the unit and returned it to me in a timely manner. The repair cost was very reasonable and the unit runs like new. Clif kept me informed on the status of repair, cost, and shipment back. I highly recommend him for Kenwood Amateur Radio Repairs.

Most helpful, friendly advice !

I am having a problem with my TS 940, garbled audio after about 30 minutes of operation.
I called Clif and inquired about sending the radio to him for repair....
He gave me the information to attempt the repair my self.
I have never talked with a supplier as helpful and friendly as Clif..
A -1 in my book

Fantastic!

Time owned: 0 to 3 months

I sent Clif an old hf rig for repair. This guy is FANTASTIC! He emailed me when it arrived at his place, again when he estimated the repair cost, again when he was doing the repairs, again when he was finished and yet AGAIN when he shipped it back to me. Now THAT is what I call customer service! When I received it, I was amazed at the packing job. He did MUCH better than Fed-Ex did when I utilized their "expert" packaging service.
Overall, GREAT Service! GREAT Price!

Great Job on Repair
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
Just wanted to add my experince with Clif at AVVid. Clif did a great job reparing my TS-850.
The rig had the PL Unlock problem, and some leaky caps. Clif repaired the rig and did a couple of mods that I requested. The price was very fair and the turn-around time was great.
Thanks, Again Clif
