Professional Electronic Service at British Audio

British Audio provides professional service for amplifiers, keyboards, synthesizers, studio electronics, and pro audio systems.

We are an Authorized Service Provider for numerous major manufacturers and adhere to factory specifications whenever applicable.

To maintain fairness, efficiency, and quality control, we operate under a structured repair system outlined below.

Entering the Service Queue

Your equipment officially enters the service queue only after:

• The unit is physically checked in at our facility
• The required bench fee has been paid

We do not reserve queue positions without equipment onsite.

This structure ensures:

• Fair first-in, first-on-bench workflow
• Proper documentation and staging
• Confirmed service authorization
• Protected technician time

Your estimated lead time begins once intake and payment are completed.

Understanding Lead Times

When we state “4–6 weeks to reach the bench,” this means your unit will be evaluated by a technician within that timeframe.

It does not mean the repair will require 4–6 weeks to complete after diagnosis.

All published lead times are approximate and reflect current service volume.

Actual timing may vary depending on:

• Incoming repair volume
• Repair complexity
• Parts availability
• Manufacturer supply timelines

Our priority is accurate diagnosis and proper repair — not rushed work.

Bench Fee & One-Hour Authorization

All non-warranty repairs require a bench fee at intake.

The bench fee:

• Covers professional diagnostic time
• Is applied toward the total repair cost if approved
• Authorizes up to one hour of labor unless otherwise discussed

Many common repairs are resolved within the first hour.

If additional labor is required, we will contact you before proceeding.

This policy ensures accurate diagnostics, eliminates unpaid evaluations, and allows us to maintain a disciplined workflow.

Estimates Before Drop-Off

In most cases, we cannot provide accurate quotes without inspection.

Electronic equipment must be:

• Opened and visually inspected
• Tested under operating conditions
• Evaluated at the component level

Preliminary email estimates are often inaccurate. We diagnose first and quote correctly.

---

Priority Rush Service

Rush service provides priority placement in the evaluation queue.

Rush does not guarantee:

• Same-day completion
• Immediate repair if parts are required

Rush accelerates bench access only.
