Top Gear Guitar Pro Shop

I will 100% be coming back. Mike was extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. Please support local business

Tim & Mike are the best amp & guitar repair and setup in Southern California !!!!! And very reasonable pricing !!!!!!

I had a problem with my amp jack. They cleaned that for the minimum price. ALSO, I didn’t mention, but they repaired my broken cabinet cover AND a faulty caster. All of this for their minimum service charge. Way above and beyond. I am very pleased. Thanks guys!

These guys have been around since the mid 80's. They really know there stuff.They have a really good depth of knowledge of Guitars and Amps.

I've been taking my vintage amps and guitars to Top Gear for 15+ years. I drive 2.5 hours from Arizona just to have them work on my gear because I know it will be done right. They are definitely masters of their craft and they have always been very fair in their pricing.
Dan, Tim, and Mike are the best.

I got my baby back.
Cleaned up, set up, new strings and tuned up.

Job wonderfully well done with a great price.

Great service. Honest technicians. Have been going here for 20 years.

I got a brand new Supro Delta king 12 and right out of the box to my surprise the switch for power was on the bottom of the box. I needed my new amp fixed as soon as possible so I came to Top gear and they really took care of me it was a turnaround of only 1 day! And presto my amp was as good as new. I have found my go to repair shop now for my tube amps and my Telecaster. Great work at a very reasonable price! Thanks guys

These guys are absolutely phenomenal and the best in San Diego. Dan and Mike went above and beyond to make sure the work they did on my guitar was perfect. Anytime I am off tour I will be dropping my gear off at Top Gear. I am very particular with who I trust with my guitars. I trust both of them with my most prized possessions. If you need any guitar work done. Look no further. 🎸

These guys are my go-to shop whenever I need amps or guitars worked on. Very fair prices and the quality of the work has always been superb. Bonus that they do amps and GC doesn't, and they often do guitar work for less than GC!

They've done fantastic repairs on two of my tube amps, both for around $100. Super fast service, too, and the guys are really nice. Can't recommend them enough!

Very knowledgeable guys. In a game where your gear is down at the shop for a month if it breaks they got me taken care of in 10 days. Military discounts as well. Great guys.

I've been going to Top Gear at least 20 years. I recommend them more than any other business. They have repaired and serviced my Deluxe Reverb, JCM 800, and '65 Champ since I've owned them. They've set up, and repaired all my guitars, and even built me a guitar. They have repaired and modified pedals for me. I just can't thank Tim, Dan and the other dude (sorry I forgot his name), for the years of quality service they have provided me over the years.

Had two electric guitars tuned up and the action lowered on one. These guys did a wonderful job. Both still play great. Just brought in a new acoustic to have the action lowered. I know it's gonna be great. Dan and the guys do an excellent job.

My absolute go-to for all things guitar and guitar electronics (amps, etc.) and have been my main choice for almost 40 years. Owner Dan Altilio's a great guy and is a masterful font of knowledge and expertise. His guys...Tim and Mike ("the new guy" with only 27 yrs. tenure) are also top-notch. Any issues or advice regarding guitars or amplifiers...I look to Top Gear. (And shame to those Brit car guys for stealing the name ;>)

I am not a "pro" and I didn't take a guitar to these skilled crafters at Top Gear but Dan Atilio sure made me feel welcome when I took a badly neglected Martin Ukelele for repairs and refurbishment. All needed was explained and fairly priced... Dan was even willing to assist me in locating the perfect case ~ something well outside of the usual job. Efficient turnaround time too ~ Top Gear Guitar Pro Shop was recommended to me and now I'm recommending them to you, they're the best.

Phenomenal work, great price, and wonderful gentleman who can hold a solid conversation. Its one of those spaces you go to thats real and unique and authentic. Guitar parts everywhere and loaded with amps of various years that they're working on.
These guys have been around for a minute so they know everybody. Go to this joint instead of a strip mall shop, they know exactly what they're doing

Fixed my broken and expensive keyboard amp for $130, and it is now just like brand new. Took 2 weeks which is very good turnaround. Was referred to them by a sound engineer and I'm now also one of their very satisfied customers!

Ive been going here for a few years now, I believe about 4 to 5 years. These guys are simply extremely,amazingly, awesome! They know how to take care of their customers. They can take a while to work on your gear, but in the end, it is sooo worth it because you'll have your gear playing ten times better than it would originally. They put so much pride and effort into their work that it makes you not wanna play your guitar simply because it would do it no justice haha!! These guys are so inviting sometimes I dont wanna leave. I highly recommend these guys. :)

The difference in workmanship with professionals is clear. These are the people who know what they are doing. Their work is very high quality and professional. I have had them working on a number of my guitars. Always very happy with the outcome.

Highly recommend this shop for amp repairs. Fast turnaround, reasonable pricing, and very friendly.
