I don't trust my amps to anyone other than Ben, and any serious musician should have the same mentality.
Ben is very knowledgeable about tube and solid state equipment and is honest/upfront about what needs to be fixed on your equipment. He also shares simple tips on how you can participate in the upkeep of your equipment. I've been taking my amps to Ben 1-2x a year since about 2016 for routine maintenance and my gear has not failed in the studio or on stage since he began servicing my gear.
It's important to support local music businesses, especially in Austin. I only recommend Joe's amps to fellow musicians. After your first time working with Ben, I'm sure you'll do the same.
Gear taken to Joe's:
Fender Bassman 100T
GK 800RB

Bens got my loyalty. I dropped off a fritzing Deluxe Reverb that had sat in a garage for years. He set clear expectations at the start (including the probable actions and costs, and the two-week queue), and then beat them. When I picked it up I also got an impromptu performance to verify the amp was like new!

I found out about Joe's Amp Repair through a Google search. He had the highest rating and glowing reviews.
I had purchased a Chinese Stereo HiFi Tube Amp from that famous online auction place. After two months the RH channel went weaker than the LH channel by about 40% or so. There was no schematic for the amp. I had purchased it new BTW.
I gave to Joe aka Ben and he had it back to me in a couple of weeks. He's a busy guy ya know. Bad coupling capacitor on the driver tube.
I won't go into what happened with my interaction with the vendor I got the amp from... let's say I came out smelling like a rose on the refund.
Take your tube equipment to Joe! He is honest, forthright and above board on the repairs and gives you the old parts back!
