They did a great job. The picure was better after they fixed it. They advised repair because newer TVs are very cheap but quality is poor and complexity is high.

When my $2500 LG OLED tv started turning off by itself, I called Clearwater TV and decided to pay the extra $70 to have them come pick it up. I received my tv back a few weeks later at which time I purchased the warranty for $189 in addition to the $338 they charged to “fix” the tv. Almost immediately, I started having the same problem so I called them back up and they came and got the tv (for another $70). This was in late November. The next 6 months were a nightmare. Multiple texts went unanswered, and when they did answer the phone, they would tell me they would call tomorrow. Of course they never did. Finally they admitted they couldn’t fix it in Feb, but it still took until may 20th until I got my tv back. They didn’t refund the initial $338 even though they never actually fix the tv. Not sure what the warranty was for. I mean, if you have a warranty, you would think they either fix it or replace it, but no....they just refunded the warranty (less the tax) and called it a day. They kept telling me how they have “been fixing TVs for over 45 years”, I just didn’t know that’s how long it would take to get my broken tv back. Do NOT trust these guys. They are friendly enough, but have no idea what good customer service is nor how to fix TVs apparently. I had bought this tv at Best Buy and it was only only 20 months old. So it’s not like it was ancient technology or had hard to get parts. I made 2 mistakes, I didn’t get the extended warranty from Best Buy and I trusted Clearwater TV And Appliance Service company.

It went terrible. They were very sarcastic, very nasty, and very rude. He even YELLED and swore at me at one point to move a case of water out of the way for him. He claimed the TV company didn't put the screws in the box, but he barely even looked through the box to find them. He charged me for a trip and he didn't complete any work. He took the TV back to his shop and said he'd bring it back. In total he charged me about $500 for two trips; just to install a new TV! He also hooked up one of my speakers and now it's not working so well. I also believe that he took my very expensive Tilly hat ( I wasn't able to locate it once they left my home). They made me feel uncomfortable in my own home. I'm not doing this so much for myself, but more to heed warning to anyone else thinking of hiring this company.

Not well Tv was returned to me and I put it on the curb. My 55 inch Hitachi smart Tv was only one and a half years old. So what a waste of 70 dollars not to mention the price of the TV
Description of Work: My Tv came on with sound but no picture. I paid 29 for a service call to be told they would have to take it to the shop and that was an additional 40 to only find out a month and half later that it was going to be over 800 dollars to fix screen.

I am sorry [Member Name Removed] that it took so long for us to give you the bad news that your screen display was bad. In the interim we were tying to achieve one much cheaper but were unable to.

My house was hit by lighting and my two 60" TV's didn't work. So I took them to Clearwater TV Service, and Larry called the next day to give me great news that he could fix them. I'm very please with the customer service and price. I will recommend them to other people that needs their TV repaired. Now I'm ready for some FOOTBALL and my wife & kids are happy too. Happy wife, Happy Life!!!! Thank you Clearwater TV Service. Bob S. Palm Harbor

The replacement part was ordered and once it came in and was installed brought my TV home. The same board burned again and they came right back out to pick up the TV. Another board was ordered but when it came in it didn't work! Another one was ordered and after testing it for 5 days it went out again. I decided I had a lemon, the TV was just shy of a year old. I traded out my TV for another and haven't had any problems. They were always polite and pleasant concerned that I was satisfied.
Description of Work: TV went black. Service picked up TV, gave me a loaner and found out the circuit board in my TV was burnt out.

Yes, they fixed the T.V., but in the process of picking up the TV damaged a HDMI cable. I was told they would replace it when they came back with our TV. They did bring an HDMI cable to replace the damaged one but never fished it to through the wall like the other one that they damage. Instead were more concerned as to what it went to and if we really needed it. After they left we discovered what it was for, I called to informed them, instead of offering to come and fix the problem they caused me they said ......well you know, you'll have fish it through the wall.... So yes they fixed the TV., but left a new problem.

Business called with estimate of cost to fix problem with our big screen TV, how long it would take.. The set was fixed and returned to us within the week timeframe promised. The company, at our request, picked up a second TV at our condo and transported it to the assisted living facility where our 98 year-old father lives and set up the set for easy use, We would refer others to Clearwater TV & Appliance Service.
Description of Work: Pick up set, took to shop to see what was wrong.

Larry arrived on time and charged exactly the price quoted on the phone. He was unable to repair the TV on site, so he took it to the shop. Too expensive to repair. We agreed to a used TV at the shop he delivered and set it up.

I have a less than 4yr old flat Screen Samsung. The Picture went away. Contacted Several factory trained repair services and were told repeatedly that the part I need is no longer available. I was irate, until I spoke with the guys at Clear-water TV who promised to diagnose for free if I brought in the TV, if not a reasonable $29. fee for pickup. Within two weeks my TV is repaired, the part was available and i couldn't be happier. Thanks Clear water Repair TV, I will be advertising your firm to all I know.!!

My TV died a few months ago and I was probably just going to replace it despite paying over $1500 for it a couple years ago. Came across their ad in the TB Times and figured it was worth the risk (a $30 service call) to at least find out if it was worth repairing. Called Friday morning and were actually able to come out the same day. The men that came out were very personable and explained everything in layman's terms. Was told that the TV could be repaired but that it would take 4 or 5 days as the part was not stocked. That was fine with me since I was prepared to write the TV off anyways. Price was not quoted in the home but they did call the next day as it was explained they wanted to verify availability and pricing. The TV was delivered the following Saturday and functioned as well as the day I bought it. The price was the same as was quoted the previous Saturday (plus the d*** Sales Tax). The guys also recommended I invest in a decent surge protector to help reduce the risk of similar issues moving forward.

Nice that they provide a free estimate. unfortunately, like so many electronics today, it just was not cost effective to fix rather than replace.my tv.
Description of Work: brought my TV in for a free estimate. They did have the TV for a while before they gave the estimate but they kept me apprised of the situation. It was an unusual brand and they had difficulty finding part. The cost of the part was about what I paid for the TV (it was a very inexpensive 32" led chinese tv that I got on sale for $169). I asked them to just dispose of it for me oe to use the tv for parts if they wanted. They were courteous & professional.

April of this year was when the TV was worked on. In August of this year, just five (5) months after the inital repair, it stopped working. I just paid over $300 and within six (6) months it does'nt work any longer! I found them on Angie's List and they looked reliable. At first I gave them a good rating, but now? I called and advised them of problem. The person I spoke with told me he was too busy and to call back later. At that time I called the "Geek Squad" @ Best Buy and spoke with a tech and they made an appointment. When the tech arrived he checked the connections and asked a few questions. Long story short, all I needed in the first place was a "opticial cable". I paid $15 for a cable at Radio Shack & $87 for the service call. Far cry from $314! The original repair was only guaranteed for 90 days, so since that had passed I would have been stuck with having to pay more money. I'm glad I called the Best Buy "Geek Squad". I put my trust in them & they let me down. A $15 item was the cure-not $314. Try Best Buy "Geek Squad". I was amazed at howknowledgeable and friendly the tech was both on the phone & in my house.
Description of Work: after explaining my problem, I was told "it sounds like a mother board". They took the TV to the shop. returned TV upon completion of work.

Reason I would not use again is that they had TV for over month and I was to get it back within 2 weeks but they got busy with more business (I was told) and could not get to mine. I felt it was there first and should have been handled first.

We deeply apologize for not getting top your tv sooner. We are a small company with only a handful of workers. We do our best to keep our word on time frames, but sometimes things fluctuate depending on the situations. However, you are right, we should've gotten to yours in a more timely manner. I hope your experience doesn't persuade you to not consider us again in the future. Many thanks from the staff here at Clearwater TV Service.
