From the reviews
The first thing that impressed me was his meticulous note taking. Taking precise measurements of the neck, nut, saddle, pick ups. David explained all details of my recent repair, A Michael Kelly brand 1967 series Strat.
When my 25 year old Taylor acoustic guitar needed some attention I found David's Broken Note in Woodland on the Taylor Manufacturer's website. The great reviews on Google gave me some assurance David could tackle the project. My guitar was a mess.
I experienced a problem with my Taylor T5's Thinline 5-Way Destination Switch and went to David's Broken Note for repair. Am I glad I did! David was able to fix the problem while I was still at his store. He is extremely professional, courteous and pleasant.

Lessons at Davids' Broken Note
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Davids' Broken Note. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
