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 !  Time owned: more than 12 months
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

Super Service!!!  Time owned: more than 12 months
Clif at AVVid is my hero! He expertly repaired my TS-940S for a reasonable price in 30 days door-to-door including UPS ground transit time from Virginia.

Very responsive and willing to help even before taking on the rig for service. Shipped unit back in anticipation of payment as well.

Simply said, Clif is first class.

UNDER-promises, OVER-delivers!  Time owned: 3 to 6 months
I have contacted Clif on several occasions regarding Kenwood rig issues. He has been DEAD CENTER OF THE BULLSEYE every time, which resulted in no need to even send anything to him for repair!

Well, recently I had a TS-430S that I had done some work on (replaced all of the relays, added the relay maintenance circuit recommended by Kenwood, etc.). Afterward, I had a few head-scratcher issues and did not want to make matters worse, so I sent the rig to Clif, fearing I had potentially expensive issues beyond my experience.

I received an email from Clif that dissapointed me. He was busy and would likely not get to the rig for about 3 weeks. I took a deep breath and asked that he keep me informed.

Ten days later, the rig was done, the problems (minor) fixed, and I had a VERY REASONABLE invoice by email. I sent a check out immediately, and Clif shipped the rig BEFORE receiving my check!

Clif is the best. This is professional customer service. He will get all my Kenwood business and as many referrals as I can muster.

Excellent  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
I recently had a problem with my TS 2000. Turned out to be an operator error.
Clif was good at explaining what I missed on setting the gain for the main transmitter/receiver.
He also uploaded the latest firmware and checked the radio for to assure it was operating properly.
I sent him the radio by UPS on a Thursday. He received it the next day and it was ready for pickup on Tuesday of the next week.
In comparison, the turn around time at Kenwood's West repair shop was at least four weeks before they would even look at it.
If I ever have any more problems with my TS 2000 it will go to Clif Holland again.
