Amni Electronics

I called two other tv repair shops prior to Amni, where they charged $ 120 — $ 180 just to LOOK at my broken year old TV.
Found Amni on Google, brought my LED TV on a Saturday evening just prior to close and Bill had diagnosed it by Monday. For free. He let me know what he suspected to be the issue and how much it cost to fix ($ 150 total, the same price the other guys wanted just to estimate it). It was fixed within 1 week that I’d brought the TV in.
Bill works magic, and honest magic at that. I stuck around to hear his story of opening the shop 20 years prior, and was inspired by his humble story. Very kind, honest small business owner. Happy to support him for his winning personality and great customer service!

Amni is simply the best company for data transfer and conversion! I had drawers of VHS tapes, mini DVD and 8 mm tapes that I wanted to convert so I could use Apple’s iMovie and ICloud to share video. After comparing price and capabilities for local and on-​line companies, I went with Bill, the owner of Amni Electronics (and TV repair).
I walked into the store at the SE corner of Forest and Marsh and felt like I was on a movie set. The store is filled with TVs, VCRs and DVD players and has rows of shelving with parts and tools. There was a constant stream of folks picking up repaired items or dropping a favorite TV off to be fixed.
I thought I wanted my tapes transferred to DVDs, but Bill quickly explained why it could save me time if he put the data files on an external hard drive that I could just plug into my computer. With 50 tapes to convert, this saved me hours of time as I didn’t have to ‘rip’ the DVDs to my MacBook Pro. Given the age of my VHS tapes, Bill suggested that he convert a few test files that I could take to my training session at the local Apple store, as he could put the files in whatever format worked best for my projects (QuickTime Movie .mov, MPEG, etc.). I ran the files through several programs and found that one format worked best. Bill then finished the conversion AND gave me DVDs neatly banded to each tape in addition to the files on my hard drive. These are great for family members to watch on the TV.
What did I like about Amni? Bill is extremely knowledgeable about hardware, software and the conversion process, so he added tremendously to my decision process — I’m a video rookie who knew little about what I needed. The quality of Bill’s work — he repaired a broken tape, picked a different format for a particularly jumpy tape to improve the quality, etc. — is outstanding according to the folks who have seen the converted files (and to my untrained eye). I didn’t have to mail my tapes off and hope they showed back up, since I dropped them off at a local shop — and no hidden shipping costs! 50 tapes were done in just over a week, and the price was substantially less than even the lowest priced member’s club.
Overall, Bill gives superior, personalized service at a significant saving off every other company I checked.

This place is the real deal. I came here after I went to another «electronics repair» shop listed here, but it shan’t be named because it was so terrible they don’t deserve a name drop. Anyhow, these folks will treat you honest and give you a fair shake. I had an old video game board that needed to be soldered. 10 minute job, if that, here. The owner was pleasant and great to deal with. He also showed me a new fangled TV streaming device that I’ll be picking up soon. Five stars without a doubt.

So I did a Google search for «TV Repair Dallas,» after my TV stopped working properly. I found this little place. The next day I got my TV over to them and when I walked in the place was a complete mess! TV’s and other electronics scattered the floor to a point where I could barely walk through, but I decided to let them look at it anyway. They told me they would call me «either tomorrow or the next day.» A week went by, and I heard nothing. So I called them and asked them what was going on, and they said that it could be fixed but the price they have me wasn’t worth it. Honest? Yes. Somewhat unprofessional staff? Also yes. Inviting shop lobby? Nope.

After looking online for days for a replacement DLP bulb for my Sony TV, I typed «TV repair» in my search engine and found Amni Electronics. It is a small shop tucked away next to Radio Shack, south of Forest Lane on Marsh Lane. I called and spoke to Bill. He advised he had the bulb in stock and gave me a fair price quote. I took in my lamp housing, he replaced the bulb in a couple of minutes and I was on my way. I felt comfortable with him because he is very knowledgeable and offered excellent tips on how to handle and install the lamp. My TV looks as good as the day I bought it. I will use Amni for any future electronic repairs.
