Very many thanks to you Ali.

Just got Arky back within a week of sending it to you,all seems good to go etc etc.
Could not have been easier , Archos, sit up and learn .... customer is King and it is fine selling a product , but with the attitude of selling and forgetting your customer is foolish........... well done Dr. Ali and his team... keep up the good work.

Well I know that the year is yet young, but still this was a great service. My precious Archos had died (the dreaded battery failure) and I was going to fix it. Bought the battery, soldering iron hot etc. I was going to use the guide on the website, but then I saw this offer and jumped at it. The Archos was duly bundled up and sent away and came back a few days later repaired. Many thanks to you! I would recommend this to anyone. If you are going to repair it yourself, then take the back off, have a look, and then send it to Huestones.

Thanks very much for a smooth transaction.

Highly recommend any Archos user requiring a battery change to use this affordable, efficient service.

Thanks again

Fantastic service. Archos returned as good as new and within the week. Very Happy.

A great service, very clear communication about everything. Speedy turnaround. Recommend this service as its not worth the hassle to do it yourself!

Excellent service and communications. I have received my Archos back and repaired before Archos can give me a RMA number!

Item was well packed for the return and there are no cosmetic blemishes. Why would anybody use the Archos service?

Already recommended service to work colleagues. Do you only do this service on Archos products? A colleague has the same problem on a Mustek device.

Thanks for your feedback Derek. I'm afraid at the moment we are only servicing the Archos 605 device.
