Factory Car Stereo Repair

"Let's keep it original"

"Why is keeping it factory the best?"
(or at least a very good idea!)
Shouldn't I just buy a used one?

GM in-dash changers

In Dash 6 Disc Changer

Some of the problems that we have repaired are:

Not switching to CD Changer when you press the CD button
Won't eject, load, or play CD's - what to do to get my cd's out?
Loud clicking each time you start the vehicle
Loads then says error and ejects the cd
I used a cd with a label or sticker on it (from library, church, or other) now jammed
Coins and other stuff put in cd changer
Error Codes
Skipping or Pausing of CD being played
Other problems (E-mail us with specifics)

Easy steps for the repair.

You have many options with something that isn't working properly. The first step is to understand why you would want to repair instead of replace the unit. See "Why is repairing a good option"
Verify where the problem is and what needs to be repaired. Many times this is obvious (like on cd players that skip) but sometimes not so clear like sound that comes and goes (is it speaker, the amp, or stereo). Email a tech if you need help with figuring out where the problem is.
Review our estimate info here.
Remove it or have someone remove it for you.
Print off the Send in form to enclose with the changer (all info needed is on the form, address, email, etc.)
Wrap it good with some bubble-wrap to protect.
All the carriers deliver here (UPS, USPS, FedEx, etc.) Allow under 1 week for the repair, we'll contact you if need a few days longer for parts ordering.
Note: We will return everything that is sent in whether it's cd's or brackets, all will be kept together.

Here are general removal tips, specific tips are linked from the vehicles model page when available.

OEM Stereos do not require removing the knobs or faceplates as they did decades ago. They generally come out to the front as a complete stereo. The brackets that hold them in are usually just hidden by the dash trim that surrounds it. These panels generally have a couple well hidden screws holding them and then they usually will unsnap off, carefully. Once the stereo is out away from the dash you will see the connectors have a tab type lock to squeeze and release to unplug them.

Single CD Players

GM Delco Feedback

I just wanted to say thank you for your efforts and honesty in repairing my CD Player. It gets a little scary dealing with service issues over the internet because one cannot be "face-to-face" with the service supplier. However, after you had to rework my player and were professional enough to keep me informed and complete the repair at no extra cost to me - I was very satisfied! Feel free to use me as reference anytime, and I will certainly send work to you from my friends who may need your services in the future! Don - Elko, Nevada 1997 Chevrolet Silverado

WOW!!! Thanks for being so quick. You are a very respectable business and that is hard to find these days - especially over the internet. Please know that if we ever need service for our other car's stereo, you will be the first we look to. Sincerely, Maria Illinois 1994 BMW 740i 6 Disc Changer

Everybody's had that "too good to be true" notion about offers, deals and "come-ons," especially on the internet. Well...Willman's is most assuredly NOT too good to be true; they are true and they are good. I was impressed from start to finish when I entrusted my 10-year-old factory-installed automobile CD Changer to their care to diagnose and remedy, following 3 years of non-use because I couldn't find anyone to repair it within reasonable cost, and with such ease and dispatch. I found the answer in Willman's. I e-mailed and spoke personally to Daryl Willman on several occasions, who made himself available for consultation and step-by-step progress. The fixed-price estimate is rarely seen these days, and pre-approval for over-runs provides customer control at every stage. I will not hesitate to recommend Willman's to anyone requiring expert analysis and service. Thank you!! Chris Pensacola, FL 1992 BMW 325i

First off I'd like to thank you and the great people at Willman's Electronics for the superb customer service and help dealing with my problem. I was greatly impressed that you spent the time to check out my unit and not charge me labor, for which I would have expected to pay. Having pulled the unit and now replacing it back in the car, I can say that it shouldn't take more that half an hour to pull or replace the radio.

You were right that there was nothing wrong with the unit, the problem was a 15 amp fuse in slot 22 of the fuse box next to the steering column. I know I checked all the fuses once before, but somehow missed that one. Again your great service is appreciated. Regards, Will - Wisconsin 95 Nissan Maxima

Thank you for the prompt email reply and the great information. My stereo is on the way to you via UPS. I will give you the tracking number if you need it. Please let me know when it arrives and what you find out about what is wrong with it. If you need any information at all just email me and I will get back to you very quickly. By the way I had emailed over a dozen other online repair shops and choose you because you sounded the most honest of them all. Thanks, Mark

Thank you for the great service, the unit works just like new. I really appreciate your excellent work and very reasonable rate. You are top notch and if there is anyone that I know in need of your service I will definitely recommend your service to him or her. Thanks, Mark

I just wanted to thank you for the great service. The quality and speed of your work is impressive. Thanks very much! Ron Albany NY '89 Nissan Maxima Bose' Speaker Amp Rebuild

1991 Infiniti Q45 4Dr Received my rebuilt Bose speakers. Wow! What a difference. Can't say enough about your service. It's great to finally have great sound in my auto again. Didn't know how bad my speakers were until I installed the rebuilt ones. Thanks Again!! Butch Franklin, TN

I had been driving around town without a radio for months because I changed the battery in my Acura 2.5TL and did not know the security code. Thanks to your tips, I was able to find the code and save 85 bucks!!!!! Thanks again. James
