Great Service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I sent my IC-756 PRO 3 to Matt for power dropping off. He said it was one driver transistor. They replaced both plus the send relay that I had zapped. I sent it to them and it was back in the shack 9 days later. You sure can't complain about that.

Just Excellent:) Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Just got my 13 year old 746 (amateur version) back from Matt at Icom-MI. Was gone only couple of weeks, and came back with really new life, hopefully for at least another 13 years (Me too-HIHI). It took an indirect lightning strike, and lost TX power. Matt sent it home now receiving better than it has in years, including improved VHF receive and improved tuner. happy camper!
I also have my main rig, 756Pro which I got from a dealer after it went thru Icom-MI...so all my Icoms are happy now too!

Simply the Best! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've used Matt's services four times through the years, the most recent being just a few weeks ago. Once again I am completely satisfied with the quality of work, turn around time, and cost. In my opinion, his work is simply the best.

On a couple of occasions I have sent equipment directly to Icom for repair and certainly have no complaints with them. But with a recent problem with my 706 I decided to send it to SAR which is much closer. Boy, I'm impressed! Quick, friendly service, even a couple of phone calls from them. And the price was more than reasonable in my estimation. So, they're at the top of my list for any future repair needs. --Dale, K4EQ

Excellent Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Matt quickly diagnosed the problem with my ICOM 7600 and repaired it at a very reasonable cost. He was attentive to emails and telephoned with a thorough description of the work undertaken. Excellent service - highly recommended.

Very good service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Sent my AH 4 off for repair with an intermittent problem. As most know, intermittent problems can be a real bugger to track down. Once they got to my unit it was quickly fixed. They called me and told me what went wrong, how they fixed it, and the charge was well below what I feared it might be. It is nice to know what went wrong in plain English that the average Joe can understand.I will be using Matt's services again when the need arises.

Great Service! Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Matt did an excellent job repairing my IC-703. It was returned quickly and as stated before, I expected a higher price tag.

Quick, good communications, very fair pricing Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
11 days after sending my IC-703 to Matt due no output it was back. Lost some diodes and an IC due Static Discharge. Charged me 1/2 what I said would be OK. Matt was patient and explained everything to me. GREAT EXPERIENCE!

Thanks GUYS!
