What To Do?


I started using a new tech earlier this year.  Nice man, seemed very knowledgeable about the vintage amp i took to him for repair.  After I got the piece back from him, another issue occurred, and I took the same amp back to him in early June for repair.  Since early July he has not taken any of my calls or responded to texts/e-mails asking for updates. I've been as firm as i can without being threatening and have offered to come retrieve the item unrepaired. But again, crickets for 4 months.

I spoke with the person who referred him to me, and he said that he's physically fine but just has a lot going on.

I live a little more than an hour away, so tracking him down in person is not a viable option. At this point, what should I do?  I'm thinking that filing a police report is my only option.  Would the police deal with something like this?

That’s exactly the reason I gave up my vintage gear except speakers. No one left who repairs them as a main business. In 2021 I waited 4 months for a minor repair with communication only when I forced it. No more. Good luck.

Being persistent on the time you need for something else is a LARGE BURDEN and only works if you are retired.

I don't plan to retire at all. 

"I spoke with the person who referred him to me, and he said that he's physically fine but just has a lot going on."

If this person can tell you that he is fine and just has a lot going on, then it seems to me that he should be able to speak to him on your behalf.
