From the reviews
Competitive prices, great bilingual customer service. Loved guitar aisolated area for woods. Willing of coming back soon!
Very helpful staff. I had a old amp and wanted to see if a distortion pedal would even work with my amp. The staff were really helpful we tested my amp and they recommended the most popular distortion pedal. I am very happy with my purchase and experience.
Had a Guitar string broken and went in here to repair. The technician who repaired, named Moses, was pretty good. He fixed it in 5 mins and was super friendly. Definitely recommend this place for guitar repairs.
Really nice staff let's you play the guitars without awkward looks. Great selection of working pedals and amps to try . Kid friendly vibe and they let our kids actually touch guitars. Thanks!
Selling or trading gear at Guitar Center Repairs
Guitar Center Repairs comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
Lessons at Guitar Center Repairs
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Guitar Center Repairs. 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.
