How Our Car Radio Repair Process Works

Working with vintage and modern car radios is not a one-click service. Every unit is different, and proper repair or upgrade requires inspection, discussion, and approval before any work begins.

Below is a clear overview of how our service process works from start to finish.


1. Initial Contact & Assessment

First, we discuss the issue with your unit.
You can contact us with details about the radio model, symptoms, and any previous work done.

Based on this information, we’ll advise whether the unit is suitable for repair or upgrade and what the next steps should be.


2. Shipping Your Unit

Once we agree to proceed, you send the radio to us for inspection.

All units are carefully diagnosed in our workshop. Vintage radios often suffer from age-related electronic or mechanical faults that cannot be reliably identified without hands-on testing.


3. Diagnosis & Cost Estimate

After inspection, we prepare a clear assessment and cost estimate.

No work is carried out without your approval.
If the repair or upgrade is not economically reasonable, we will tell you honestly before anything is done.


4. Repair or Upgrade Work

Only after approval do we proceed with the agreed work.

This may include:

  • electronic fault repair
  • mechanical restoration
  • preventive component replacement
  • or invisible modern upgrades such as Bluetooth integration

All work is done with the goal of keeping the radio visually correct and period-appropriate.


5. Final Testing & Return Shipping

Once completed, the unit is fully tested and carefully packed.

We then ship the radio back to you, ready for reinstallation in your vehicle.


International Shipping Options

To reduce international shipping costs and transit time, we work with partner shipping locations in several countries.

We can provide shipping addresses in:
Germany, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Portugal, and Japan.

This allows many customers to ship locally instead of internationally.
