What a beautiful Fall we have had so far this year! Here's an overhead view of our Burnsville location from one of those gorgeous Fall days.

04/08/2020

While we are still scheduling service and installations for "essential services", out of an abundance of caution, we are pushing back non-essential service work until at least May. We do have a drop off and pick up table located in the front entrance of each shop. Please leave repairs there with notes as to the radio's issue. You can, of course, mail in your repairs.

We are shipping out all repairs, new parts and equipment, unless absolutely necessary. If you need to pick up at the shop, please call ahead, or leave that information when you drop off your repairs, and we will place the items to pick up in the entryway.

Our sales staff are still working diligently from home, so please call or email them to place orders.

These are unique times. We will get through this together. Sooner, if we limit our contact with the public and follow CDC recommendations and the Governor's orders regarding COVID-19 protocol and safety.

Stay safe, and stay healthy!
