All brand & model names in our customer feedback have been replaced with either the words [factory brand] or [GPS]. All remaining comments are original and unchanged. Birahadish in Woodland Hills, CA - "Hi - I have received the pkg on time few days back. It's been working great since then. Everything seems to be great. I have clipped the charger wire as you said. Thanks for all the work. Highly appreciate it. It was a pleasant experience working with you. Please keep us the good job. It's very rare to find service people like you guys in a affordable price range. Thanks Birahadish" Brian in Calgary, Alberta, Canada - "Hello James and Danielle, Just a quick note to let you know that my Nuvi has arrived and everything is working perfectly. Thanks for your service and I was so happy you could make the necessary repairs at a reasonable price. Best, Brian" Steve in White Plains, NY - "I received my repaired GPS today. Everything from beginning to end---instructions, communications, shipping, and the repair itself---were timely, professional and well done. Thank you for your superb service. Steve" Mario in Quebec, Canada - "I had received my Garmin GPS last week and everything is fine, working like a new one. Thanks for your good work and also for giving me status on repair and shipping 100% satisfied with your service I think it is better to make your things repaired when it is possible instead of throwing it in the garbage. Better for the planet... Have a good day and thanks again" Jered in Hamilton, Montana - "Thank you so much for your (and other employee's) professionalism. Not ever hearing of SHARCNET, I took a chance with my GPS not knowing what the outcome would be. However, your company far exceeded my expectations by repairing my GPS that I did not know would ever work again. As a law enforcement officer I use my GPS on a daily basis, and I am happy to say that my GPS now works excellent. I am very pleased with the services you professionals provide. Excellent customer service with a quick turn around. Please extend my gratitude. Thanks again, Jered" John in Brussels, Belgium - "Hi Jim, Just to let you know that my GPS arrived today in excellent condition: it's as good as new. Congratulations on the splendid job you did on it. Congratulations on packing it so well: it was extremely well protected. Best regards, John" Norm in W Boothbay Harbor, ME - "Here's some feedback: TOTAL SATISFACTION with every part of the repair transaction from initial correspondence, communication regarding the work to be done, packing, shipping - and appearance and operation of the repaired unit. Thanks. Norm" Keith in Georgetown, TX - "Jim Just a note to let you know how happy I am to get my Garman 670 back in fine working order. I bought a Garman 3490 when Garman told they could not fix the 670. The new 3490 was ok but I missed the 670 with the life time US and Europe maps. Hoping to get at least another 5 years from the 670. Pleased with the repair, Keith" Ed in Garland, Tx - "Dropping a line if I'm satisfied with your service doesn't seem like enough! I looked at the "Customer Feedback" page and feel as if my "feedback" is just a needle in a big haystack - but really, the service, the repair, the obvious workmanship, the communication and the care in shipping my newly and perfectly repaired Garmin are OFF THE CHAIN! Simply the best darn "repair" experience I've ever had for anything anywhere, if I ever need or anyone I know ever needs a GPS fixed, you'll get the business hands down!" James in New Bern, NC - "Danielle, I received the GPS on Thursday, April 11, 2013, and tested it on a short trip the next day. It works like new! Thanks for your professional service!!! I posted the following updated review on Amazon.com this afternoon: Entire Amazon review can be found here: [ Amazon Review #1 ] "UPDATE (13 April 2013): I was prepared to send this GPS to recycle, since Garmin no longer supports it. Fortunately I learned about SHARCNET-USA before I took it to the electronic recycle center. SHARCNET-USA is a small company that repairs out-of-warranty GPS units. I checked out this company as best as I could, and it appeared to have a good reputation. I contacted the company through its web site and decided to send my Garmin Nuvi 660 in for repair. I was somewhat apprehensive thinking I might just be wasting my money. I was wrong! In every respect this company was professional and totally clear about the specifics of the repair and the cost. I opted for several extra repairs beyond the touch screen to include a new power button and a new battery. SHARCNET took just a few days to repair my GPS and contacted me when it was ready to return. The return packaging was as good as it gets, and for less than half the cost of a new GPS I now have one that is as good as new. I've used the unit several times since it was repaired, and it works perfectly. I have no reason to doubt that it won't give me years of additional service. I highly recommend SHARCNET-USA for any GPS needing repair that is out-of-warranty. Caution, however, if you've opened your GPS or tried to repair it yourself it is unlikely that SHARCNET will accept it for repair." Customer also commented about us in another Amazon GPS review: [ Amazon Review #2 ] NOTE: I purchased the Nuvi 52LM to replace a Nuvi 660 after the touchscreen stopped working. I was ready to take the Nuvi 660 to electronic recycle when I learned about SHARCNET-USA, a small company that repairs out-of-warranty GPS units. They repaired my Nuvi 660, which Garmin no longer supports, at a very reasonable price. It is back in operation, and I expect it to give me many more years of useful service. I enthusiastically recommend SHARCNET-USA." Ben in Manitoba, Canada - "I received the repaired unit in the mail a few days ago, the mark of a successful repair is that there is no evidence that there ever was an issue in the first place. That is exactly what you and your staff delivered - thank you very very much. I will recommend your services to anyone who asks." Byoung in La Canada, CA - "Jim, thank you for a speedy repair at a reasonable cost. I would highly recommend Sharcnet to friends who are in need of GPS repair, for your communication, service, and professionalism. sincerely, Byoung" Herman in Freeville, NY - "My repaired unit arrived in the mail today. I am very pleased and if anyone I know needs GPS service I will steer them your way. Many thanks, Herman" Elizabeth in Ann Arbor, MI - "Hi Jim, I just wanted you to know that my Garmin Nuvi 660 arrived back this afternoon and is working like a champ. The touchscreen responds perfectly (the initial issue) and I was able to reactivate the device for my beloved audio books and they are back up and running. I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you so much for your extensive efforts to ensure the device would function perfectly by going way above and beyond the simple fix both of us anticipated. I was amazed and impressed with your commitment to excellence and will definitely recommend your service to everyone I know (actually, already have!). Thank you VERY much." Bruce in Pensacola, FL - "Hi SHARCNET, I've used & tested my GPS and I find it works better than ever. Your company is impressive, exacting and very professional. From the first e-mail from Jim I knew I was in good hands.I will highly recommend you. Thanks, Bruce." Richard in Driftwood, TX - "Jim, I've used the repaired GPS on 2 different trips and it is working great. The audio is working as it should now. Thank you so much for providing this repair service. I would not have gotten the unit repaired through Garmin as they are too expensive. Thanks, Richard" Jose in Boca Raton, FL - "Dear Jim I received my repaired unit today. I walked it outside and it connected to the satellite. I appreciate your service and help very much. Great job and customer service! Regards, Jose" Ron and Bev in Columbia, SC - "Dear Jim, Our Garmin arrived with this morning's mail. Thank you so much for helping us with our problems. I reset it for our home location and it works perfectly. We are a retired couple, who likes to take annual vacations by just pointing the car to a desired destination and by using back roads both within the US and Europe. This Garmin has guided us to some of the most beautiful out of the way places and we would hate to part with it. This has been a true pleasure to work with you. I felt confident from the very beginning that you would expeditiously fix our travel partner. Sincerely, Ron and Bev" Bill in Traverse City, MI - "Jim, All is well and the unit works great! Job well done! I wish more businesses performed this well and were as easy to do business with. Thanks again for your assistance. Bill" Barry in San Jose, CA - "Hi Jim- Unit received in excellent condition and all works great! On-off switch feels like new again. Bluetooth works perfectly--I think that this was a factory replacement unit for my original 360, which had the maddening "unable to acquire satellites without external antenna" bug. They finally offered me a replacement and I took it. I think I learned about that problem from you (!) on the gpspassion.com forums right after I bought the first nuvi! Thanks for all your help and your excellent service. Barry" Darrell in Tuttle, OK - "Jim, I received my repaired Nuvi 660 GPS today. I have powered it up and allowed it to achieve the satellite lock. It went perfectly! It locked on very quickly and showed good accuracy and five sattelite locks in less than a minute. I will test it out with a short trip in the next day or so but I do not expect any problems. Thank you for your prompt and high quality service. Your workmanship is excellent, the unit shows no evidence of having ever been worked on except for your seal and the fact that it works again. Great job!!! Your service and workmanship are greatly appreciated and I will highly recommend you to anyone needing GPS repair. Thanks again, you guys ROCK!!! Darrell" Dan in Hillsborough, NJ - "Hi Jim, Received my GPS back today and pleased to say that it works great! Thanks for the excellent service and very reasonable cost. Much appreciated! Best regards, Dan" Jeremy in Caledonia, Michigan MI - "About a year and a half ago, the touchscreen failed on my Nuvi 660. I researched many place and options and discovered SHARCNET-USA. I then ho-hummed about getting it repaired. I looked at many new units, but didn't really want to pay the high price tag. It then sat in a drawer for a long time until recently, I decided to go ahead and get it fixed. I dug up the bookmark of SHARCNET-USA again and it said repairs were full. I was bummed. I had a long road trip coming up and wanted a GPS unit, but couldn't get it in in time. I checked the web site daily for a while, then weekly, then kind of now and then. Started looking back at newer units, but still didn't want to pony up the $$. Then one day I checked and SHARCNET-USA was accepting new repairs! I filled out the form immediately, selected my options and clicked send me a quote. Within a day or so, I had a quote. Packaged up my unit and sent it in for repair. Within a weeks time, I got an email stating it was repaired and on its way to me. I tracked it and knew when it was coming, but unfortunately I was not at home to sign for it. Had to go to the post office the next day after work and sign for it. I was so excited I opened the box in the car and docked the GPS on its cradle. The unit fired up, locked on satellites very quickly and took it on the road on the way home. Everything worked just like it used to. I am glad to have the unit back, and I now have a new Garmin dash mount instead of the windshield mount. I like that there was a business card in the front pocket of the case that I sent it in with, now if someone asks about it, I can show them the card for instant info. I would highly recommend your service to anyone in need of out of warranty GPS repair. I feel the pricing was great, the repair time met my expectations and had great communication through the whole process. Thank you again!" Mike in Charleston, IL - "Thank you for your prompt replies to all of our inquiries. The GPS arrived and works great. I appreciate your honesty in telling me that there was nothing wrong with the touch screen...it was just unplugged, and providing a refund for part of the repair cost. I'm not sure how to leave feedback on your website, but I would highly recommend your services. Thank you, Mike \" Allan in Bedford, MA - "I have received the unit and tried it out and it works well. Thank you for offering this service and doing the website with the detailed info that brought me to you. It is nice to see a website and service with good information and high value without the baseless hype." David in Ocala, FL - "Jim, Received unit today. Works great. Nice job with everything you did, including shipping and communicating with me. Nice to know you're out there. I almost threw the thing away out of frustration with post-warranty failures. Thanks again, David" David in Medford, OR - "Thanks, Jim. I ran across a forum post somewhere mentioning your service when I was looking for a solution to a Garmin Nuvi issue I was having. I was glad to see that you knew of the problem, and knew how to fix it. So, I tried your service...and loved it! Got the Nuvi back with a new battery, and new touch screen...and couldn't be happier! Seems to work better than when it was new, if that's possible. Keep up the good work. Those of us who refuse to join the "throw-away society" really appreciate your expertise. Best regards, George" Lewis in Winchester, VA - "Received my nuvi 650 this past Friday. I have used it twice on two fairly simple long trips. All appears good. Thanks for this service and for the quick repair. Louis" George in Edmond, OK - "Good Morning: Yesterday afternoon, I received my unit and checked it out. Everything works and looks perfect. Thank you for your expeditious handling and professionalism. You have my strongest endorsement, George" James in Powell, OH - ""Danielle, I received the repaired GPS yesterday PM. Thank you, so much for your repair. You and your team did everything you said you would do including holding the return shipment until last Friday 03/29/2013. The GPS operates just like new, actually even better with the new battery and Off/On switch. The firmware, maps and even the password are all intact and up to date. My son is very pleased that it's back working again and promises not to leave it in the car when not in use. I will spread the word with my friends who have GPS's about your services. Thank you again. Warmest regards, Jim..." Frank in Orwigsburg, PA - "Hi Jim, Thank You so much for repairing my GPS. The unit arrived back at my home today, and everything performs perfect. The repair cost was very reasonable, and the turn around time was brief. I feel very confident recommending you to my friends. Warm Regards, Frank" Jeff in Cherry Hill, NJ - "Hello Jim, The unit arrived yesterday -- thanks so much for a smooth transaction and for your responsiveness. I won't hesitate to recommend your service. In fact, a family member with a similar problem has been waiting to hear about my experience, so you may be hearing from him. Best, Jeff" Rick in Hamilton, NJ - "Hi, I finally had a chance to use my repaired GPS and wanted you to know how happy I am to have it back and functioning so well. I really appreciate the care and craftsmanship you put into it, even gong so far as to make it better than it was. I have been using it in on of those beanbag type dash mounts so that we can put it in any car, but have always unplugged it completely and put the unit in a case for protection. I think from now on we will keep it plugged in and keep the entire unit under protection in a small padded bag. I will also try to secure the power cord to the unit so it can't move. Thanks to you for those tips! Thanks again for your help, I will spread the word when I find someone who needs repairs like I did. Rick" Wayne in Stevensville, MT - "Hi Jim, I received my repaired Garmin 650 It works great. You do very nice work......Thanks for the fine service. I will be happy to recommend you to others. Good luck with your future business. Wayne." Darren in New York, NY - "Received and in fantastic condition! Thanks for repairing this! Darren" Leland in Brighton MA - "Jim, You guys rock. I love your repairs to our GPS unit - works like a champ. Many thanks! Cheers, Leland" Donna in Tucson AZ - (Repeat cCustomer)"Hi Jim & all, Thank you for your prompt repair and shipping -- again! All works well. My husband checked it out thoroughly and updated the maps. Just for your own feedback and testimonial: We are dissatisfied with the new GPS units on the market that apparently include advertising, which we gear away from whenever possible. We are so pleased, therefore, to have a company like SHARCNET-USA to turn to when our dear "Nuvia" gets an owie! So far, you have successfully fixed her broken button and her cracked screen. We thank you! Donna" Maurie in Folly Beach, SC - "Hi James and Team - thank you for the repair on that GPS Garmin 650. Your service was prompt and diagnosis of the problem totally accurate. We are so glad to have our Garmin 650 back and working well. We will try to take better care of our Garmin 660 - but it actually is about 6 months older than the 650. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend you to anyone who asks us about Garmin GPS repair. Thanks again! Maurie" Dennis in Downingtown, PA - "I sent my broken Nuvi 660 to Sharcnet-USA for touchscreen replacement due to a manufacturing defect. Not only did Jim, Danielle and Kevin replace my units touchscreen but they modified my on/off button with a reinforcement, replaced the battery with a higher mAh battery and did all this door to door in less than 10 days including a weekend and holiday. Their communication throughout the process was marvelous and the repair cost was very reasonable. (<$60) After waiting 45 minutes on the phone with them Garmin said they would not even look at my unit saying it was out of warranty and they no longer repair them. They offered a $70 discount on a new unit none of which seem to match the quality of my 660 the benefits of which are detailed on Sharcnets web site. I could not be more pleased and highly recommend Jim and his Sharcnet team for any repair of a GPS unit. It was like having an old friend come home. Out of 5 stars I rate them a solid 10. Thank you Sharcnet-USA for a job extremely well done." Robert in Hunting Beach, CA - "Jim, Thank you for performing repairs on both of my Nuvi 660's. I really like these units and am so pleased that you were able to bring them up to speed. You even fixed some things that I did not know were amiss. Also, the cost for these repairs was more than fair. Also, thanks for your great communications (before and after) concerning these repairs. When I initially requested a quote from you on the issues with the first 660, you went out of your way to provide me with remedies that I could try/accomplish on my own without having to ship the Nuvi to you. Obviously, had these user repairs succeeded, you would have not made a dime on the transaction. You don't see this kind of service much anymore. I am old enough to remember a time when people (such as yourself), actually repaired items. These days, sadly, most repair services are nothing more than "parts changers." Example: Garmin's solution to the problem with the first Nuvi was to send it to them and they would give me $70.00 off on a new unit. Gee thanks, seventy dollars off on a new GPS that is being offered at full retail. Ah, no thanks. I could get a better deal at a local retailer without Garnin's seventy dollars. I tell all of my friends about your terrific service and await the day that they need GPS repair, contact you, and then tell me..... "Thanks for telling me about Jim at SHARCNET-USA." Spread the word.... SHARCNET-USA! Best regards, Robert." Anthony in Rancho Cordova, CA - "Jim, just wanted to send you an update. I finally had a chance to use my Garmin Nuvi 650 on an extended trip from Rancho Cordova, to Monterey, CA and I want to tell you that the my Garmin performed just like new. Satellite acquisition was quick, route selection was great. I want to thank you again for the excellent service, communication, prompt repair and shipping. Your work is highly recommended and less expensive than a new GPS unit. Anthony. A very satisfied customer from California." Tom in Peachtree City, GA - "Just wanted to say that GPS arrived today in perfect order. Thanks!! Tom." Len in Lisle, IL - "Jim, All repairs worked great and the unit feels like new! Glad I was able to find you and SHARCNET-USA for the repairs on my Garmin Nuvi 660. I now have a 'like new' unit which will last for years. I feel like I can now get the value out of my Lifetime Maps purchase with this unit. My best wishes and success to you and your company. Len." Bill in Jacksonville, OR - "Hi Jim just wanted to drop you a line and thank you for the prompt service and the repair on my GPS . Your honesty and quick return is appreciated. Thank you, I will recommend your company to anyone who asks me about their GPS repair. Bil.l " Mike in Palm Coast, FL - "Jim, I received it today. What a great job you did and very fast. I will keep you business card and HIGHLY recommend your very quick/reasonable and quality services. Spending money in the USA, with our fellow Americans! Thanks again, Mike." Doug in Piscataway, NJ - "Jim, I wanted to say thanks for the great work done on my Garmin Nuvi 680. The unit has been functioning perfectly. Nice job on the screen replacement. Even though new units are so in-expensive, I was really glad that a modestly priced repair option existed, as there was no reason to replace the whole unit. Thank you again. Best Regards, Doug." William in Boulder, CO - "Hi Jim: Just want you to let me know that the GPS works fine.... The only problem is the maps are not the most accurate but that is the map company defective product. Otherwise, all is well. Thanks for your efficient communication and the professional way in which you handled the repair of our GPS. Regards, William." Kelly in Williamsburg, MI - "So glad to have my Garmin back, and working. I'm so glad I found you. Thanks! Kelly." Tony in Melbourne, FL - "Working fine - even acquired GPS satellites in the house. Best regards, Tony." Ray in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada - "i Jim, I got the GPS 3 days after you mailed it, checked it out, and used it on a short trip. Everything on it works great. It's like brand new. I really appreciate your knowledgeable, quick, and very professional service. I will recommend you to all my friends. And thanks for reinforcing the on/off switch - you are a pleasure to deal with and your service is excellent. Take care and have a great day Ray (and Brenda)." Julius in West Chicago, IL - "Jim, Thank you very much for the excellent service. The GPS works great now. It's better than new, with the power switch reinforcement, the added static protection, upgraded battery, and updated software. I can highly recommend your work to family, friends and co-workers.Thank you again, Julius." Schuyler in McKinney, TX - "Hi Jim, I wanted to let you know that I am very pleased with the repair to my GPS. Everything works great, and I appreciate your resolving the mapping issue. I was considering just getting a new unit for about 2X the repair cost, but the ability to keep the special features I had purchased on the 670 (MP3 player and Europe maps) made me want to try the repair before replacing the unit. I'm so glad I went with that option. This was the best Christmas gift I got this year. Best Regards, Schuyler." Greg in Ephrata, PA - "Jim i want to thank you for a very fast & quality repair. The gps works like new. Thank you. Greg." Chris in Hollis, NJ - "Dear Jim, The GPS appears to work fine. My parents are testing it further. Good work -- the entire process was a pleasure!" Will in Hoboken, NJ - "Thank you for your excellent service. I am happy to be a reference. /Will." John in Talladega, AL - "Hi Jim, My GPS arrived Saturday by USPS. After turning it on, it acquired satellite reception quickly without difficulty. I used the GPS Sunday and today and it works great. I really appreciate your repairing this for me so I could avoid purchasing another one, particularly since I had already purchased the lifetime map update. This was a money saver for me. Thanks so much. Best regards, John." George in Neptune, NJ - "Hello Jim, This is to confirm that the postman attempted delivery Friday 1/13 but no one was present to sign for it. I picked it up today Saturday 1/14 at the PO and later tested it and the satellite acquisition went fine and "Jill" is in better voice than ever thanks to the new speaker. I also appreciate the explanations and getting to see what the speaker looks like (I was surprised at it being larger than thought) and seeing the battery date and lower Ah rating. I am a very satisfied customer and will be glad to vouch for and recommend your services to others. Thanks and have a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year, George Deane." Boma in Jacksonville, FL - "Good Afternoon Jim, I received the GPS today, I'd like to say a heartfelt thank you for making it like new again. Thank You!! Boma." Bob in Boxborough, MA - "Jim, I`m pretty sure my GPS has never worked as well as it does now. In addition to the things you say you fixed (the power button, touch screen, LCD display, and battery), I believe the antenna also works better. That is, the GPS determines its location almost instantly, where before it would take several minutes. I still haven´t had a chance to use the GPS for any good reason, like a long trip or to go somewhere I´ve never been before, but I am certainly satisfied with your service. Thanks, Bob." Jack in Littleton, CO - "I just received my GPS today. I started it up and it seems to work just fine; quickly acquired the satellites and found a gas station nearby. I haven't taken it on the road yet, but it appears to be working properly. Thanks for your speedy service. It would be nice if Garmin was aware of your service and able to send you referrals since they are no longer repairing these units. Jack." Rod in Albuquerque, NM - "Jim Received the unit yesterday and tried it out last night and today. Everything works fine. Very pleased with your service and will definitely recommend you to any friends who are having issues with their units. Thanks, Rod." Frank in Orwigsburg, PA - "Hi Jim, Thank You so much for repairing my GPS. The unit arrived back at my home today, and everything performs perfect. The repair cost was very reasonable, and the turn around time was brief. I feel very confident recommending you to my friends. Warm Regards, Frank." Harold in Thornhill, Ontario, Canada - "Hi Jim Thank you so much for repairing my GPS. I received it a few days ago and it is working well.When I turn it on it announces a street name in the States but later shows my current position I am very happy that I did not have to junk my GPS You did a great job for a reasonable price. Thanks, Harold." Jan in Lewiston, ID - "We just received the Garmin back from being fixed, My husband will arrive from Ak on the 30th and can check it out to see if everything is working right. Thank you so much for your time and help in resolving the problems my In-laws were having with this gift we had bought for them. If we would of know the issues with the touch screens we would have never gotten this model. Thanks again for all your time. Jan." Dale in Gilbert, AZ - "Looks wonderful! Works great! You took this from the trash heap and turned into a working machine again. Thank you so much. Dale." Greg in Portland, OR - "James, Wanted to let you know that the 350 is working - like new. Appreciate your efforts. Thank you, Greg." Enrique in West Hempstead, NY - "I want to thank you so much for fitting my GPS repair into your so busy schedule.

Dennis in Marcy, NY - "Hi Jim, Just wanted to let you know that I've had my repaired Garmin Nuvi 670 for about two weeks now. It works great just like it did before the touch screen failed. All functions work as they should. Thanks again for the prompt service and email responses. It took me a while to get through on your web site, but it was worth the wait. Dennis." Ray in San Carlos, CA - "Hi Jim I received my GPS back today in great shape. Thank you for your professionalism and for doing such a great job. Happy Holidays and Best Wishes, Ray."

Pushkar in Medford, OR - "Hi Jim, It has been a month now since you repaired my GPS by installing a new LCD touchscreen, installing a new battery and modifying the on-off switch. I wanted to thank you for the excellent, professional and timely job you did. The Garmin 670, which I own, has been performing excellently for the last month and it is a great relief to have a reliable touchscreen with a longer lasting battery. You have been of immense help and therefore please feel free to use this email as a recommendation on your website, if you feel fit to do so. Regards, Pushkar." David in Riverside, CA - "Just got the unit in the mail. Everything works fine as far as I can tell. I will road test it soon. Thanks for a great job and quick turn around!!" Jim in Waltham, MA - "It works great! Battery life is much improved. I couldn't be happier. You can't make me deposit the $5 refund check you sent me. You may as well void it (#533) because it's going into my shredder. Thanks!" Paul in Huntsville, AL - "Jim, GPS was picked up at the post office today. Thank you for the short turnaround. I tested the Garmin in the driveway after work and I couldn't be happier. I'm glad I did my research and found your website instead of purchasing a replacement GPS. Take care. Respectfully, Paul." Richard in Half Moon Bay, CA - "Hi Jim, I just wanted to let you know that I received the unit yesterday, and it works great. Thank you for your excellent work. I especially appreciate your emails and phone calls keeping me informed during the process. You did what you said you would do, and the the price you quoted. I'll certainly recommend you if I have the opportunity. Best regards, Richard." Paul in Maryland, NY - "James, I received my Garmin Nuvi 680 GPS back from you last week. It is working like new. I sincerely appreciate your old fashioned business approach of communication, timeliness, courtesy, and reasonable cost to repair. Your communication on the status and information regarding my unit was greatly appreciated. Having my unit repaired rather than discarding it and purchasing new was wonderful. The new units do not do things that mine does without spending hundreds of dollars. I know that you are busy, but if GPS issues come up in conversations with others I will definitely be recommending and telling them about you. Thank you very much, Paul." Charles in Medway, MA - "Jim, I wanted to thank you for the incredibly fast turn-around on our Garmin repair. My wife's the primary user. She uses it a lot in Boston, where she works, and is very grateful. My sons (18/20) were also excited to have it working again. Good service, very fair price... Thank you. --Charlie." Mike in Ann Arbor, MI - "Hi Jim, I received my repaired GPS on Saturday and activated it and all worked very well. Speaker works great now. I cannot even tell that it was serviced. You know your way around these units that is for sure. Thanks for the quick and professional service. I will recommend you to others if the opportunity arises. Regards...... Mike." Larry in Wake Forest, NC - "Jim, I receive my GPS today and I want to thank you so much for fixing it, it works just like new. Larry." Ron in Bella Vista, AR - "Jim, I just got around to putting the repaired Garmin NUVI 660 back in the car, and we used it on a 500 mile trip this weekend. Everything worked great, just as promised, and like it originally performed. It was nice to have the Garmin back in service--and with a fresh battery--as we had been unhappy with a relatively new TomTom replacement (from Craigslist :-) . Thanks for performing the service, and delivering everything in a manner in which you managed to exceed expectations. No wonder you seem to have more work than you can comfortably handle! It's refreshing to run across good ole-fashioned customer service. If you ever need to use these comments, or want me to write another recommendation for you, let me know. Unfortunately, that might just get you more new biz than you need :-) Have a nice weekend / thanks again, Ron." Steve in Medfield, MA - "Jim, Got the package and GPS seems to be working just fine. Thanks. Steve." Brad in Glendale, AZ - "Thanks Jim for your service. Everything seems to be working as it should. You did an excellent job of keeping us informed through each step of the process. We should now be able to get our money's worth out of the lifetime maps subscription! Brad." Claire & Leonard in Nashua, NH - "Dear Jim, Thank for your excellent customer service and timely repair turn-around for our device. When my husband first showed me what happened to his Garmin, I immediately ordered a new one for him. He is a field service technician for medical equipment, and spends a lot of time driving from site to site. His coverage area includes facilities in three states, so you can imagine how important his GPS device is to him. Considering the broken unit was only a few months old, I hated the thought of just throwing it away. I did some research, online, and came across your website.The most frustrating part, of having our Garmin repaired, was waiting to catch an opening to submit a request, for the quote to repair. Our unit is like brand new, and the earlier "frustration" is well worth the wait. Upon receiving the unit from you, it did not take long to orient itself to our location. I now have a "brand new" GPS. We will/would wholeheartedly recommend you and your business. You have been a pleasure to deal with. Your technical expertise speaks for itself. Thank you, Claire & Len." Wilmer in Clive, IA - "Hello, Just a note to let you know I received my Garmin 350 GPS and it works great. Thank you for the prompt and quality repair. It acquired Satelites within seconds which was faster than when it was new. We now have a good reliable unit for traveling. Thanks again, Wilmer." Petsy in Buffalo, NY - "Hi, I received the gps. It's working fine! Thank u!" Ron in Keithville, LA - "Received unit in excellent shape. Excellent job!!" Bill in Rockport, ME - "Received unit back today. Unit is working well. Thanks you for your assistance and quick service. Best of luck with your business. Sincerely Bill." Ed in Berlin, MD - "Received the unit last Friday. Did not take too long to acquire satellites once powered up. Appears to work very well. Thanks again for the repair. FYI, found your web site via Google while searching for "lost satellite signal". Would recommend you to anyone who has GPS problems. Ed." Morris in Union City, GA - "Just a note to let you know I received my GPS on Saturday in excellent working order. I can't begin to express my appreciation for the quick response, the desire to make sure I understood what was wrong, and the great instruction on how to care for the unit in the future. I shall follow your instructions to the letter! I also would like to thank you for the updating. Your pricing, service and desire to do the best job possible is a rare thing in our world today and I can not say enough. Have anyone call me about your work anytime. May God's richest blessings be upon you. Morris." Carol in Saint James, NY - "Hi Jim, I wanted to let you know that I received my GPS this morning and it is working perfectly. I am happy that you were able to repair it and spare me the expense of having to buy a new one. I will be sure not to keep it in the car anymore, as I believe this is what caused it to malfunction in the first place. Thanks so much! Regards, Carol." John in Statesville, NC - "Jim, Thank you for doing such a great job at a reasonable price! Garmin wanted me to pay $89.00 then send them my GPS and they would have replaced it with another one (probably a different model). They also said I'd have to re-purchase the lifetime updates because it's a different serial number. I will definitely recommend you to others who are in need of the same or similar repairs. I'm a very satisfied customer. Sincerely, John." Igor in Vernon Hills, IL - "Hi Jim,I want to thank you for bringing my GPS back to life. It works great. Great job! Just make more happy customers as myself. Good luck! Igor." Gary in College Station, TX - "Jim, It has been 3 weeks since we received our 660 and we have had ample opportunity to try it out. You replaced the internal antenna, the battery, the on/off switch and the speaker. Everything is working just fine. Since we have lifetime maps for this unit, we are very happy to have our 660 working again. Dave from Pittsburgh expressed my feelings perfectly, so keep up the good work. If anyone I know needs repair work done on their GPS, I'll be sure to send them to you." Jeff in Pueblo, CO - "Hi Jim - today in our mailbox we found the repaired Garmin Nuvi 650 GPS unit, and I was able to try it out rightaway in our part of southern Colorado. After it found our location and I reset the time zone, all appeared well and our guiding light in difficult driving conditions is once more at work. I hope it will continue to operate well. We appreciate the quick repair and this made much more sense than having to replace the unit which we could not afford anyway. Thanks for a job well done, and keep up the good work!" David in Frankfort, KY - "Jim, the unit works great, better than new with the bigger battery. Averaged about 11 to 14 feet accuracy rolling down the road. Thanks for providing such excellent service and for helping me extend the life of my gps that the big G would not repair. Thanks again!" Steve in Costa Mesa, CA - "Hello Jim-- I received my unit and tried it out, and everything works great! Thank you very much for doing such a nice job repairing my unit. I particularly appreciated receiving the regular updates throughout the process; it was wonderful to know where we were throughout the process. Based on the reviews and comments that I had read earlier, I had high expectations for this process, and you far exceeded them! Thank you again! Steve." Gene in Paris, MO - "Got it. Thank you very much. Will be sending the one from my wife's car soon." Arnold in Glen Ellyn, IL - "Dear Jim, I received the GPS on Wed, 7/27, & had a chance to use it the next day. As you indicated, it took a while for the device to acquire a satellite. Once the satellite was acquired, however, it worked beautifully--actually, better than it did when it was brand new some 5 years or so years ago. So, my sincere appreciation to you for a superb job. I would recommend Sharcnet-USA in a heartbeat to anyone needing a GPS repair. I wish you & Sharcnet the very best in the future. Regards, Arnold." Warren in East Weymouth, MA - "Received and tested out fine. Thank you very much. It will be making trips with me again. Buzz." Dave in Park Ridge, IL - "Jim, Just a short note to say THANK YOU! You replaced my touchscreen and upgraded my Nuvi 660. It looks and works like brand new! Garmin no longer supports the factory repairs on this unit. I have the lifetime map upgrade on it so I was looking at a major expense to replace my unit. I saw your site and thought why not give it a try? You turned my unit around quickly, at a reasonable price and it works flawlessly! I didn't even lose any of my addresses that I had programmed into the unit. Fair dealing no nonsense repairs. I am a fan for life. Dave." Sergei in Parsippany, NJ - "Jim, I got my navigation system a couple days ago, and it works like a charm! Thank you so much for fixing and returning it promptly. I really appreciate your service and will gladly do business with you in the future. Have a nice weekend! Sergei." Bob in New Tripoli, PA - "Jim, I received the GPS this morning and I'm very satisfied with the fix....it far exceeded my expectations. Not only did you repair the switch, but also found and other issues requiring attention. It was definitely worth the $25 + shipping. The turn around time was also better than I expected. After monitoring your site for several weeks and not seeing the "open for business" sign, my expectation was the back log was so long it might be several weeks without my Nuvi....a scenario I was not looking forward to. Instead, total time from when I packaged it up to when I unwrapped it was less than 2 weeks.....super job. I spent a lot of time researching how to fix the switch problem and everything always pointed to you for a reliable repair. I found no negative feedback at all, and now I see why. Thanks for exceeding my expectations. Regards, Bob." Rob in Franklin, MA - "Hi Jim, I want to compliment you on your thorough customer support communications (this and earlier prompt emails), and your business ethics (advising me about an additional discount). I have not yet received my repaired Nuvi 660 but I know it is in good and competent hands. After reading the most recent blogs on the subject of failing 660's, I thought your company could use a good word. Best wishes back. Rob Smit. P.S. Please feel free to use my comments. Followup: Hi Jim, It has been a few weeks since I received my repaired Garmin Nuvi 660 back from you. I wanted to wait and use it before sending you this email. Bottom line: my experience with you has been terrific - excellent customer service, super repair (without any marks to indicate the unit was repaired) - like new functionality. I am very pleased with your service and will recommend you to anyone having similar issues with their GPS. Thanks again. Rob." Steve in Chaska, MN - "I got the GPS yesterday and all was well. Thanks for the prompt and economical service. Actually I don't know why you are so cheap, as I don't think I could have even got the parts for the cost that it took you to professionally repair my unit. Steve." Charles in Paris, MO - "First, i am sorry i havent replied earlier. Work has been hectic and I simply forgot to send you this thank you in a timely manner. Thank you for so quickly repairing and returning my gps to me, it is working flawlessly and the screen is much better to the touch especially on the keyboard screen.... Now if you have the time in a week or two my dad, Russell Gene also has a nuvi 660 that needs a new screen and screen cover it has scratches on it and he would also like a new battery. Basically he would like his repaired the same as you repaired mine. Again thank you for the repair. your service is indesenaple to us who have been abandoned by Garmin. Charles." Tim in Newport News, VA - "Hi Jim, Received it back today. I have to say the unit performs great and I really believe it performs better than new! I sure appreciate your outstanding service and quick return. Your Customer Service ranks among the best I have ever been associated with. Thanks Again, Tim." Lisa in Norfolk, VA - "I received it today and it is working fine. My husband has the same model with the similar serial number. We have not had any problems with his unit (knock on wood). I will contact you if he develops similar problems. Thank-you for the great support and customer service. I can find my way again : )" Ray in Minnesota, MN - "Hi, The repaired Nuvi 650 arrived yesterday. It appears to be working as good as new (maybe better with the reinforced switch). Thank you for the rapid service and for your emails that kept me informed of progress. Ray." Tim in Brockton, MA - "Hi, Jim-- Thanks so much for the prompt, thorough, and efficient service!" Jonathan in Mt. Nebo, NC - "Hi Jim, Received Garmin back today and all works fine. As an electronic engineer and offshore surveyor I know how hard it is to find companies and technicians to repair GPS units - so I really do appreciate your professionalism, speedy and efficient service. Am glad that there are still people who take a pride in their work and run business's to satisfy a need - although home GPS units have become cheap, its great that you offer a repair service that negates the need to just dispose of a unit when it stops functioning. Cheers Jonathan." Dorothy & Leon in Mt. Crawford, VA - "Got the GPS and everything is working good. Thanks for working on it. I will recommend you to all my friends! Thanks, Dot & Leon" Jimmy in McKinney, TX - "I've had a chance to get the repaired unit back up and running and everything seems to be just fine so far. I was more than pleasantly surprised on how quick my unit got repaired after you received it and will be glad to recommend you to anyone needing any repair work on GPS units. Thanks again!" Vito in Mentor, OH - "Jim, The GPS works like new. Thank you for the excellent service. I have recommended SHARCNET-USA to several others already and will continue to do so. The work was done well, with very reasonable cost. It was refreshing to be treated like a "valued" customer. Thanks again. Best Regards, Vito." George in Washington, DC - "Jim, Why buy Garmin? My Nuvi 660 was only 1-1/2 years old and Garmin told me that they no longer repairs any of them. This was not a cheap unit, and I like the many features it provides, but didn't realize that a well known company would not stand behind their products. Their only suggestion was that I should buy another Garmin. Garmin can sell units but not repair their units when they are not even two years old. But, my dilemma was where do I get it repaired? Searching the web luckily I found your site, Sharcnet-usa. I now realize if even Garmin would have repaired it, that it probably would have fixed it with the substandard parts it came with, or they might have replaced it with the same undependable model. Your company, on the other hand replaced my screen, with a better one, replaced the battery with a more powerful one and at your suggestion a reinforced the power button, which has a propensity for failing. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Still, I might buy another Garmin, knowing if it should fail I would immediately go to Sharcnet-usa for their superior informed repairs at reasonable cost and prompt service." Bob in Landenberg, PA - "Hi Jim, I received my unit and am very happy that it is now better than new! Thanks so much for all of your help! Bob." Chuck in Rockford, IL - "Got it Saturday - Works great - Thanks!" Allan in Quebec, Canada (repeat customer) - "Hi Jim: Just received the unit, want to thank you for your efforts and for I hope as usual a good repair at a good price. Once I received the OK to request a repair quote everything has gone smoothly, my only concern is that believe it or not I had been trying 3 or 4 times a day, sometimes more since last October to be able to submit a request, it always said "Shop repairs full" or words to that effect. This is not a criticism Jim just an observation, otherwise great service and well worth the wait. Be assured you will be the only one I will turn to if I need future repairs. Thanks again, Allan." Perry in Tillson, NY - "Jim, After a slight detour, when our local PO scanned the package as delivered, but left it in their truck rather than my mailbox (and finally delivered it Fri night on the driver's way home), the GPS is doing fine! I updated the (lifetime) maps that I'd previously paid for, and took it for a test trip to visit family in NJ yesterday. Thanks to the hint you'd posted about the "hidden" TTS option, it's even speaking street names again. I'll definitely be refering any of my Garmin owning friends to you, when they have this same problem. Thanks again for your help. Perry." Michael in Shawnee, KS - "My Garmin GPS acts like it is new again. Fantastic affordable repair, excellent customer service, and timely repair. I would highly recommend SHARCNET-USA to any GPS owner needing help in getting their GPS back to working order. Once again, thanks for making the experience so rewarding and trouble-free. The quality of work is superb." Vince in Lake Mohegan Lake, NY - "Jim, I received the unit today and tested it on an errand to the store. It works just like it did when I first purchased it. It's like it was never touched, let alone serviced. I thank you very much for fixing my GPS. You are a lifesaver! I will highly recommend your services any time to anyone I know that needs repair. Take care, Vince." Doug in Portsmouth, RI - "Jim, received the garmin after the holiday weekend and everything checks out ok. I downloaded the latest map set and we're ready to make our next military move now. Thanks a bunch for the prompt service. I will not hesitate to recommend you guys to anyone else experiencing garmin problems. Take care and thanks again." Brigette in Lake Peekskill, NY - "Jim: Received my GPS yesterday. Thanks for everything! Quick turn-around, careful packing, excellent service and great communication. I would highly recommend your company to anyone in need of GPS service. You saved me ALOT as my replacement GPS was priced at $200! Thanks again and be well." Adolfo in Northport, NY - Hi Jim: Received and in perfect working order (as usual). Thank you for all your help. Best regards, Adolfo. " Ron in Winston Salem, NC - "Jim, Received yesterday and tested. Works like it is supposed to. Many thanks for the very professional service and extremely quick repair! Best regards, Ron." Ed in Valencia, CA - "Hi Jim, It's working great, thanks! -Ric." Ed in Middlesex, NJ - "Jim, I received the unit and it works just fine. Thanks a bunch for the quick turn around. I was lost without it. Thanks again, Ed." John in Maryville, TN - "Hello Jim, Thanks for an excellent repair job. My Nuvi works like new again. You obviously take a lot of care in your work, since I can't tell you even had it apart. Have a great day, -- John." Susan in Chesapeake, VA - "Hello Jim, My GPS arrived today! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! ... I have checked it out, and it works great! It only took seconds to find satellites and realize it was home! All my favorites and recent finds were there and I also received the new car charger plug and my old battery as promised. Thank you SO MUCH for the speedy repair and return of my GPS. I will highly recommend you to everyone and really appreciate the fact that you did everything you said you would do. Thanks again and I have your website saved in my favorites for referrals! Sincerely, Susan" Mike in Wilkes Barre, PA - "Hello Jim, I used the repaired gps early this week on a trip out of town, it is working well. Mike" Jeff in Burlington, Ontario Canada - "Jim, The unit arrived the Wednesday before Good Friday which worked out perfect. We drove down to Boston over Easter to visit family and the unit functioned perfectly. In fact it seemed to locate the satellites quicker than I remember (even when new) You went above and beyond on this one. Your customer service is exemplary. I have been telling everyone I know about SHARCNET. Thanks again for all your efforts. Jeff" Rich in Pullman, WA - "Jim, Got my GPS today. Took it on a test drive. Works great. Thanks, Rich" Gary in Steubenville, OH - "Jim, it works great, the cost was fair, and the five-day turnaround was incredible. Thanks. Gary." Taylor in Sunnyvale, CA - "I wanted to follow up and let you know my GPS arrived on schedule and working better than ever. Thank you for your quality service and repair, I may now get myself lost without trepidation! I'll certainly recommend you if the topic of GPS repairs outside of warranty should cross my path. May your repair queue remain ever filled! -Taylor" Aniruddha in Mt. Lebanon, PA - "Hi: This is to let you know that we received the GPS unit back after the repairs yesterday and it is working absolutely satisfactorily. Very happy with the service and workmanship. Thank you so much again, Regards, Aniruddha." Thada in Silver Spring, MD - "Hi Jim, Just wanted to say thank you and how much I appreciated the professional way you handled the repair of my Garmin Nuvi including the quick turn-around, the keeping in touch, the shipping information, and the care with which it was packaged. Best regards, Thada." Dave in Irving, TX - "Hi Jim, Thanks so much for your speedy and professional repair of my GPS, it's like new again ..... I will recommend your service every chance I get. Regards, Dave." Caleb in Dayton, NV - "Jim, Thanks for fixing my Nuvi 660 gps. I picked it up today from post office, opened her up and she fired up right away. The touchscreen works! YAY! Again thanks for fitting me in your repair schedule. I would gladly use your service again if necessary, and I will absolutely recommend your service to any and all people who need gps fixes that I encounter. You run a 'Pro' operation... thanks again for your service." Sara in Addison, IL - "Hello Jim, Thank you so much for fixing my GPS. I just received it back today and so as I walked in the door I had to try it. I remember you saying that it would take a while to find the satellite, which I was ready to wait for. The first thing I noticed was that the bars showed red like they were actually looking and within less than 5 minutes it had found the satellite and was telling me where to go. I decided to switch locations and within seconds it changed directions. Thank you. I have not had that since August .....I forgot to mention also that the turn around with how fast you contacted me, to me filling out a quote, to me shipping it to you. You guys had the unit less than three days and it was fixed and back to me in a week. Thank you. I could not be happier with your service and your customer service. Thank you thank you again. I will recommend you to anyone with a Garmin that needs it fixed. Sara." Hamonangan in Upland, CA - "Hi Jim, I have been received my GPS today, so far everything OK, thank you for your update and ontime service. Good to know you." Trung in Santa Ana, CA - "Hi Jim, New touchscreen looks great. Everything is functioning perfectly. Even with a full schedule, you were able to get it back to me within 10 days of sending out my GPS. Your service and repair was just awesome. If I knew you guys were packing the GPS that well, maybe I would have considered not getting insurance. =) If ever anyone else that I know has GPS issues, I'll totally recommend you guys. You're the best. Thanks again -Trung." Rob in Atlanta, GA - "Hi Jim, my unit arrived today and everything looks good. Thank you again for your help. You have a wonderful business model - provide timely, expert service at a highly competitive rate. You need to hire a few people and increase your output because you would make a fortune!! I've already begun recommending you so keep up the good work!! Best, Rob." Will in Simsbury, CT - "I have been very happy with the repairs you performed on my Nuvi 670. It works better than new. The battery holds a charge for longer, it finds satellites quicker, and the touchscreen now works as it should. Well done! If this were ebay I'd give you A+ and all five stars! Sincerely, Will." Claude in Cleveland, TX - "Jim, first I'd like to say that it's been a long time since I've dealt with a business that has communicated so frequently, so accuratly, and never leaving that 'empty' feeling of....gee, am I dealing with the right company? HAT'S OFF TO YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE. My orignal concern with SHARCNET was that your website indicated you were full up on repairs. As this was a spare GPS, I had replaced it for my sister with a new unit, and figured I'd get this one fixed sometime...so no big rush. Yet, when I went back to your site....you were still busy? I began to wonder, but never found any negative reviews. I figured if I emailed you...worst you could do was say you were too busy. Well thanks for saying 'sure, I'll fit you in'. And I now understand why you are so busy. Thanks again, feel free to share my comment, and know, I will highly recommend your business to anyone that ask's where they can get their GPS repaired!!!!. Bill in Carrollton, GA - "Jim, Thank you for the quick turn around of my [GPS]. You were very professional and efficient. The unit is working better than ever and I will make sure I pass your information along to anyone with the same needs. I appreciate the follow ups letting me know when you received the unit and when it shipped. I wish all companies had the same quality service. Thank you once again! Billy." Michael in El Sobrante, CA - "Speedy service! I sent my gps by USPS Priority insured mail from the SF Bay area on Wednesday and got it back the following Monday! And the switch works better now than it did when it was new out of the box. Hope I don?t need another repair some day, but I know where to go if I do. Thanks, Jim." Tommy & Joyce in Manchster, TN - "We received our GPS back today. We locked in the new location and just waiting for a trip to try it on. Thank you so much for your help in this repair. We really appreciate it, because we love this GPS most of all. We will share your repair service with others as they need help. Thank you, Tommy & Joyce." Art in La Verne, CA - "Jim, I received my 350 this afternoon. The repaired on/off switch works great! Thank you very much... Again, let me say that I am very pleased with your work. I will not hesitate to use your services again and to recommend you to others. Art." John in Marietta, OH - "The GPS arrived today and worked great. It took very little time to lock onto the satellites. My wife has a unit exactly like this one. If it ever goes bad, I know where to send it. Thanks, John." Chris in Napa, CA - "Jim, It performs great! I appreciate you upgrading my repair, the unit is basically brand new. I will suggest your services to anyone I know who may need GPS service. It's been an absolute pleasure working with you. Thank you again, Chris." Brian in Lyons, OR - "Jim, Again, thank you for fixing my Garmin Nuvi 680 it is working great. Have a Happy New Year. Brian." Marvin in Chesnut, MA - "Jim: My [GPS] was received Saturday and appears to be working well, with all maps & favorites in place. Thanks for the quick turnaround. I'll certainly recommend you to anyone I know with GPS problems. -Marv." Don in Shrewsbury, MA - "Jim, thanks for refurbishing my [GPS]; I particularly appreciated updates on the process. It works perfectly, and more cheaply than buying a replacement. Don." Bill in Bel Air, MD - "Jim, Received my repaired [GPS] yesterday (Mon 10/25) and tried it out today (Tue 10/26) and it works as good as new, maybe even slightly better than new. The repair is 100% professional, as there is no signs that it was ever opened for repair. I want to compliment you on your outstanding business ethics, and customer relations; Thanks to your pre-agreement contact with me via email, your website's demonstration of your vast knowledge in your services you offer, and your obvious intent to make your customers satisfied, I shipped my GPS off to you without that "I really hope I'm not going to regret this" feeling I so often have doing business with other people or companies I have located on the internet. Being that I hold a BSEE and work as a mechanical design engineer for some rather sophisticated equipment, I was tempted to do the repair myself. I have learned, however, that locating the proper parts, and doing the disassembly can often be a headache. As I began to research my defective GPS, I found your website. Reading your website showed me you were well versed in the GPS units and also have a very good mechanical, as well as electrical understanding of these units. Your knowledge of these units and their typical problems, however, is something I don't have, and adding the switch reinforcement is something I wouldn't have found on my own until it broke. I am glad to have found your website, I am very happy with the more than reasonable prices, and I am glad to have done business with you. Should one of my family's several other GPS units need repair, you will be hearing from me again. Thank you. Bill. p.s. if you are rated or listed on any 'opinion' websites, please let me know which and I'd be glad to post my note of 100% satisfaction with your services." Andy in Silver Spring, MD - "Dear Jim, Thanks for your e-mail and I am sorry that I was not able to to provide feedback for your repair service with my [GPS} unit that I received in excellent packaging condition until now. Upon powering on and using my repaired GPS unit, I already noticed the feel of a very sensitive touchscreen that was very responsive to my input. The repaired GPS device unit has worked beautifully with my [factory brand] GTM 20 traffic receiver cable ever since I received it from you. I reallly appreciate your all-around professional service, quick turn-around time, your responsiveness, and your follow-up after the repair service for my GPS device unit. I hope that the device will continue to serve me well in the long run provided that I take good gentle care of it. Thanks for all you did and all you do for our community. I cannot express how grateful I am for your service. Warmest, Andy." Rob in Dixon, CA - "Hi Jim, Thank you so much. The GPS looks like new. You did a great job!!!! It has always been a little slow in picking up a signal 2-3 min at times. All in All I'm Very pleased!!! Thanks again, Rob." Fred in Palatine, IL - "Jim: Awesome. Works great, and just when I thought I'd need to dump it! Would've replied sooner but needed to go to Pittsburgh yesterday. Brought the GPS, which had arrived Saturday. Found a Primanti Brothers, no problem. Definitely glad I found your web site. Thanks, Fred." Vito in Carnegie, PA - "Jim, Just a quick note to say thank you for the great communication and amazing service. Got the gps back today and everything is working great! It may be my imagination, but it seems to acquire a fix faster and have a stronger signal than before. Also, the power switch mod feels very solid. Thanks for the great work! Vito." Thiagarajan in Hartford, CT - "Jim, The GPS unit was delivered safely today by USPS. I have unpacked the unit and tested it at home. The satellite tracking was achieved without any issues. I have tried simulating a trip and worked OK. I also was able to change the locale and the language, etc to English. I really appreciate your wonderful turnaround time and the wonderful packing of the unit in the USPS box. I am extremely happy with the service and I can't thank you enough for this. I will test drive it during the weekend in the car and will get back o you should there be any issues (which I am sure there is none). Once thank you for your wonderful service. Thank you and Regards, T." Bill in Harrrisburg, PA - "Hi Jim. I received my repaired [GPS] this morning and already have used it and sync'd the bluetooth with my cell; everything is working as advertised! I have to say that this was one of my best experiences in having it repaired and being kept informed as to the status. The correspondence was great and everything came to fruition as you had stated, with no unexpected issues. Turn-around time was amazing and it was a pleasure dealing with you. Thanks again for the repairs and I would not hesitate to use your services in the future. You can be assured that I will and have mentioned your services to others. Stay well and thanks again...John" Brian in Upton, MA - (Repeat Customer) "Hi Jim, The GPS arrived and is working like a champ. The touch screen works great. I like the sensitivity of it.... Thanks again for your help! You do terrific work and appreciate your attention to detail, communication and thoroughness. Brian. " Bill in Floral Park, NY - "Jim, I received my [GPS] today and I am nothing short of pleased. The turnaround time was terrific and your whole process of quoting and repairing is extremely efficient. I think your pricing policy is also very fair. Thank you again and if I ever hear of anyone experiencing problems with their units I will certainly recommend you. Bill." Tammy in Brownsville, PA - "Hi Jim, I just got a day off and tried out the [GPS] you fixed for me. OUTSTANDING!!!!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I am very impressed with your quick turnaround, prompt replies and outstanding service. Once again, THANKS! Tammy." Alison in King of Prussia, PA - "Yes, completely satisfied...it's working great now... LOL I have boasted to everyone how happy I was with the service...but forgot to let you know. So thanks again! Alison." Glenn in Chandler, AZ - "Jim, Thanks, we got the unit back yesterday. Everything works great......OK, that's it, you win the prize of the BEST and by far the SMARTEST vendor I've ever dealt with. Thank you so much....Thanks, Glenn." Jack in Pompano Beach, FL - "Hello Jim, I received my repaired [GPS] along with the defective battery. As you indicated, it was certainly timely to have the battery changed as the old one was on verge of bursting! I am extremely satisfied with the repairs --- in your prompt response, communications, and followup. Thank you. I have a second Garmin for my daughter that should it fail, I will certainly not hesitate to send your way. Thanks again. Jack." Glenn in North Alexandria, VA - "Jim, thanks again for a quick repair. I received the GPS back yesterday and everything seems good to go. I have at least 3 friends that also own 650's so if/when their units start acting up, I will send them your way." Ben in Cave Creek, AZ (Repeat Customer) - "Jim, Received my [Factory Brand] Yesterday, cranked it up and ran a route, check on it and it seems to be right on. Thank you once again for your rapid turn-a-round on the unit. It is no wonder you are swamped with work. I am glad I sent you an email before going to your web site. With a full schedule, I would probably still be waiting for a quote opening. Once again, Thanks for the great work. Cheers, Ben" Nand in North Brunswick, NJ - "Jim, I just received my Nuvi today. Thanks for repairing it so quickly. Looks as if I received a brand new GPS :) Thanks again, and best regards ..." Larry in Ellicott City, MD - "Hey Jim, Got my GPS yesterday and it works great! Thanks for fixing it for me..... Anyway, I appreciate your quick and professional service. I would not hesitate to use you again. Thank you, Larry." Gary in Parker, CO - "Jim, In an age when customer service generally fails to live up to its promises, your repair service is a welcome bright spot. Excellent communications, amazing turnaround time, and the unit works better than when it was new. I'm blown away. I will make sure anytime I have a conversation with friends about GPS devices, SHARCNET-USA will be mentioned. Much obliged! Gary." Sam in Deerfield, MA - "Dear Jim, I'm writing to tell you how pleased I am with your repair of my GPS.... and to thank you! It guided my way on back roads in New Hampshire this past weekend and it worked better than ever! I've come to depend on it and I so appreciate your quick repair. I wish you all the best! Sam." Yelleshpur in Hainsport, NJ - "Thanks. I got the GPS. Its working fine. I appreciate your help and assistance in repairing the on/off button." Sheila in Fairfield, CT - "Hi, I got it and it appears to be working just fine. Thank you VERY VERY MUCH. I am so happy I stumbled on you on the internet. Hope it lasts for a while; my son is convinced that they will soon be obsolete...another technological challenge for me to worry about! Sheila." Xu in Laurel, MD - "Hi Jim: I received the GPS, and tried it on the way to work this morning. The unit works very well, more than I expected. It just took few seconds for it to locate the satellites, and to show the 'Ready to Navigate' message. I can see the signal strength was also strong, got 5 bars most of time. The 'unable to locate satellite' problem no longer occur, as far as I saw this morning. I will rate 5 out of 5 for you excellent work, and I will definitely recommend you to everyone who may have similar 'Unable to locate satellite' problem with his/her GPS unit. Thanks, Xu." Gary in Craigsville, WV - "Jim, I must say that I am more than pleased with the recent repair of my NUVI 660. The turn-around time was amazing and the fact that you replaced the case screws and the intermal mike without a delay or big additional cost was unbeliveable. I will highly recommend your company to anyone I come in contact wirh that has a broken GPS. In this throw-away society, it is refreshing to know someone who can and will repair perfectly good GPS units that would normally be tossed. Thanks much, Gary T." Minh in Reston, VA - "Jim, Thank you thank you thank you! The repair means more to me than you realize..... I will spread the word when I can about the repair service you provide. I'll also check out the other repairs you can perform to see what else I might need. Respectfully, Minh." Dave in Big Rapids, MI - "Jim, I received my repaired GPS today. Great job, quick turnaround, great communication throughout the process and great price. Thanks and I will pass on your name to others in need of GPS repair. Dave." Marc in Darragh, PA - " Jim - Received the Garmin today. It works and looks great! Thanks for your top notch service and professionalism. Marc." Gary in Warren, MI - "I received my [GPS] last Sat (I was impressed with how quickly the repair was done and the unit repaired) and have used it on a couple of short trips and it worked perfectly. I'm going to CT from MI this weekend for one week and will give it a good tryout. I'm really happy at the way the on/off switch doesn't feel so 'mushy' anymore. Gary." John in Greenville, SC - "Had it out on a long drive today w/ output jack connected to the BMW audio system. It all sounded just fine. Thanks again!." Brian in Morris, IL - "Jim, I received my unit back today and have had it on since it arrived . I have 5 full green bars and 10 locked on satellites with 15 foot accuracy and it hasn't deviated from that once . It has been on long enough that in the past , I would have seen it lose the satellite reception therefore I think all is good !.Thank You very much! Brian." Sharon in Huber Heights, OH - "Jim, I just received my Gps. Everything is working great. I really appreciate what you do. It is not everyday you find people like you, that is honest. I will keep you in mind and if anybody needs repairs I will give them your name and email....Again Thank you so much, Sharon." Guoping in Fort Wayne, IN - "Dear Jim, Thank you for the excellent service. It is very fast and professional. Working like a charm. Guoping." Keith in Covington, GA - "Jim: Got my Nuvi 350 today. It appears to be in excellent order. The on-off switch works for the first time in I can't remember how long..... Keith." John in Hawthorne, CA - "Hi Jim, The GPS arrived yesterday. I tried it and it found satellites in a minute or so and I used it to go on a few mile drive. It worked perfectly! I noted what you mentioned about applying lithium to the antenna axle, it flips up with ease, excellent idea! I also like the additions of the other vehicles. I think this is better than new. I can't thank you enough for your excellent workmanship and very quick turn-around time. Best regards, John." Frank in Huntington, NY - "Hi, Jim,I picked up the unit at the post office this morning. It seems as good as new!!!......Thanks for the swift and complete repair. Regards, Frank." Sheldon in Midvale, UT - "Hi Jim, I received my [GPS] a few days back and have given a a few days worth of testing.It's back to better than new condition and the modification you did to the power switchis more than noticeable, this too is better than new. Thank you so much for making the time to do this work, I cannot tell you how happy I am with the workmanship you put into repairing the device. I should now get many further years of use from my GPS thanks to you. Once again many thanks. With kindest regards. Sheldon." Leon in Virgina Beach, VA - "Jim, Sorry it has taken so long for me to get back to you. I have taken my GPS on several trips after you have repaired. It has not let me down yet. Thanks again for excellent service and support. I have filed your information in case I ever need it in the future. Thanks again, Leon." Basil in Longmont, CO - "Jim, I received my [GPS] from you yesterday. Thanks for the super quick turnaround. The power button has never worked this well before. Basil." Malcolm in Toronto, Ontario, Canada - "Hi Jim, Thanks for your e-mail. Your repair job was FIRST CLASS and it worked (better than new) right out of the box. It was very well packed for the return shipment as well. Thanks for doing a great job at a reasonable cost. The equivalent [Factory Brand] repair would cost almost 3 times the amount and I would have been able to purchased a new unit for almost the same cost at the [Factory Brand] repair dept. HA-HA. Malcolm." Steve in San Jose, CA - "For those of you who don't like detail, I can tell you this - I thought my Garmin Nuvi 650 was "done for" after only a couple years of pretty light use. I sent Jim a non-working unit that was cosmetically perfect. Jim quickly sent me back a fully functional unit that was still cosmetically perfect. - for everyone else who wants to know what what my experience with Jim and Sharcnet-USA was like, read on... The touchscreen on my Garmin GPS suddenly stopped responding and, in the process of searching the Internet for clues about what had gone wrong, I ran across the Sharcnet-USA site. It at least looked legitimate, even though it was located across the country from me (I'm in California). The Sharcnet-USA site was full of useful information and, put together with other info from the net, I determined that my touchscreen failure was unfortunately a pretty commonplace occurrence on the specific model and serial number range of my unit. After trying everything short of cracking the case open, my choices are, "repair, or throw a few more dollars onto cost of repair and get a new one". Sending it to Garmin was going to start at $150 and go up from there, so that was a non-starter for me - why spend all that when they were the ones who built it with such a fragile touchscreen. I looked at Sharcnet's site, being one of the few sites on the net that appeared to be a credible business. I looked at Jim's experience, the testimonials, the detail he provided about pricing of specific repairs (all suspiciously reasonable), the forum discussions, then decided to request a quote that afternoon. By evening, Jim had responded with a detailed quote and even some other options for problems that I hadn't considered - not expensive additions either, by the way - just practical suggestions that I hadn't considered. Besides, what was I going to do with this broken unit anyway? Too light for a boat anchor. I emailed Jim back to get the address to send the GPS to and quickly received detailed shipping instructions. Within the next day or so, I went to the bank to get the Cashier's Check, then off to the USPS to send via first class mail with insurance. The unit was scheduled to be delivered to Jim three days later on Saturday, and by Sunday, I had an email back from Jim saying my GPS had arrived with no problems. Only two working days later (Tuesday), Jim sent me an email saying that my GPS had been repaired and would be shipped and on its way back the same day. It's not like he had to turn it around to get paid - he already had my money - it's nice to know that he takes his obligations seriously, since many businesses do not. As promised, my GPS was back in my hands on Thursday afternoon, with a brand new, non-glare touchscreen that Jim said has a track record of only failing when the glass is cracked. As a purchasing professional, I do a lot of business with service providers. I'm sure most of you have stories, but you would be pretty shocked how few service providers, online or not, tell you what they are going to do and then do it. Granted, this is just my experience with Sharcnet-USA, but my experience also tells me that when you get this kind of service and follow-up, it's not an accident. I have no hesitation in using Sharcnet-USA again, or telling any of my friends or family the same thing. Thanks for a very fast and painless experience, Jim! Best, Steve." Alvaro in Miami, FL - "Hello Jim: I received my [GPS] last Thursday. The shipping time was better than I expected. I proceeded to test the unit outside and was able to lock onto 8 satellites with an accuracy of 18 feet. Very impressive, but that is not all. I walked inside with the unit, from room to room and the unit kept locked with an accuracy of about 40 feet. This was impressive as I didn't know the unit could operate indoors. I don't think the unit ever worked this well before. I am very satisfied. I am very appreciative of the add-on's you were able to load the unit with. From day one I browsed your Web site, I knew I was dealing with a professional. The information was very clear and detailed and you were very honest. Your handling of everything from day one including the impeccable packing taking special care with anti static materials and padding was the best I've seen. You are very organized, a professional and I do not hesitate in recommending your services to any one, these qualities are something we don't see easily nowadays. Keep up with the good work! Excellent service! Thank you. Best regards, Alvaro." Karen in Buffalo, NY - "Hi Jim, Fabulous service - thx a mint! I was going to reply when I rec'd your e-mail but didn't want to take up more of your time so waited until I rec'd nuvi back...I know you prolly prefer fixing to e-mailing ;- I especially appreciate the communication, excellent return packing and quick turnaround. Initially I was concerned as I wanted to get this done in December but your site said you were not "taking orders" at the time. I was a little suspect but my DH, who sourced you, said to go ahead anyway. I now appreciate that you only take what you can do in a reasonable amount of time, and of course December is the holiday season and most folks are busier than usual. I was "Jill" for our Dec and Feb vacations but it is sure nice to hear her voice again - now I can return to my regular scheduled naps...LOL! Thx again...fab service.." Kevin in King, NC - "Hi Jim. Received the unit yesterday, tested it last night when I got home and it works perfectly. Everything you said you'd do, you did and the turnaround time was amazing, less than a week from the time I mailed it to the time I got it back. I've already told others about you and will continue to do so. You demonstrated that you're the real deal Jim, and I appreciate it. Thanks again for everything. Kevin." Oladapo in San Antonio, TX - "Many thanks!!!." Eileen in New Weston, OH - "We've been using it for a good month now (actually my daughter took it with her to Illinois) and said it was working perfectly, so thanks again and I will refer you to anyone who is interested. Thanks again, Eileen." Ray in Tempe, AZ - "Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Received the unit and it works great. Thank you! Ray." Paul in Marriotsville, MD - "Jim,I received the unit and have done some limited testing but so far so good... I would like to say thank you for the rapid turn around on the repair and thus far I am very satisfied... Needless, to say if I or anyone I know has problems with their GPS that is out of warranty; the units will be sent your way for repair. Again thank you. Paul." Heather in Atlanta, GA - "I received my GPS. It is working very well. Thanks for your help. Heather." John in Rocklin, CA - "Jim, I received the GPS unit today. It looks like everything works as advertised. Thank you for the fast turnaround and the informative e-mails to keep me posted on progress. I will recommend you to anyone I know who might need some maintenance on their GPS. Again, thank you for the fast service, John." Joan in Mesa, AZ - "GPS is working just fine. I do appreciate your great service. I was very happy with your communication and fast service. Thank you again. Joan." Bob in Walnut Creek, CA - "Came this morning. Works perfectly, of course. Of course I will tell anyone I can (already have)." Richard in Washington, DC - "Got it! It works better than it did when brand new!! Thanks for the professional job. I know who to call when my wife's does the same thing." Wendy in Scottsdale, AZ - "Hi Jim, I got it!!! :-) Just charging it up right now but all seems well. Thank you" Sarah in Los Angeles, CA - "Hi Jim Yes, I got it yesterday and it's working great - thank you!" Rafael in Mount Laurel, NJ - "Thanks a lot for all your help I am very happy that you were able to help me. Let me know if I can repay the favor in the future." Rod in Springville, UT - "I've checked it out and everything works great. Thanks for all your help. If you'd ever like to use me as a referral, please do so. I would be pleased to recommend you to anyone." Shane in the United Kingdom - "[Factory brand] quoted me £170 ($300!!) to fix my [GPS], which was suffering from their flawed switch design. Before throwing it in the bin and putting it down to experience, I did a quick check on the Net and found Jim. By far the slowest part of the service was Paypal clearing the funds. Everything else was extremely fast and the repair itself is magnificent. There was full communication throughout the repair and I'd recommend this service to anyone else with an out-of-warranty device that has broken. For those in the UK, insured, guaranteed Royal Mail delivery cost me less than £10, so it's well worth using Jim even if you're not in the States." Jason in Hamburg, PA - "I am completely satisfied and will keep you in mind if anything would happen in the future with my unit. I did receive the GPS when I got back home, and all is well. Thanks again for everything!!" Ken in Bedminster, NJ - "I received the [GPS], and it works great. Thanks for the great job with the repairs!!" Mike in Fuquay-Varina, NC - "I received my [GPS] yesterday and it works great. Thanks for the prompt and professional repair." Friedman in Pittsburgh, PA - "Units arrived yesterday. Thank you so much. You really provide a "better, faster, cheaper" service. Better because it gets the [GPS] in a better-than-factory condition. Faster because you promise quick turnaround, and then turn it around even quicker. And cheaper because you do it at a fraction of the cost of an official [factory brand] repair or reconditioned unit." Colin in Sherman Oaks, CA - "She's home, and works like a dream! Thanks for the [GPS] repair.....and again, to say THANKS for a job well done! All the best, Colin" Eric in Pittsburgh, PA - "I got it. Works great! Good as new. Thanks." Bill in San Diego, CA - "I received my [GPS] back from Jim at SHARCNET-USA. Jim did a great job fixing the power switch. Great communication, fast service, reasonable price and the unit works great.

Installed it, and the unit is back to good operational condition. My sister will be very happy to get it back.

Kim in Baltimore, MD - "Hi Jim, I received the [GPS] today. The repair is great, thanks." Edward in Dingmans Ferry, PA - "Unit arrived at noon today.

Tom in Pleasant Plain, OH - "Jim, Thanks for the follow-up and yes, the repair is great. I'm a happy camper once again!" David in Wappingers Falls, NY - "Jim, Received the repaired [GPS] today. Works great! Thanks. I figured I would have to live with using the car charger to turn it off and on until I got a new one. Now I don't have to! Great job & quick service. Now I have to get used to not pushing too hard to turn it off & on. I was used to pushing harder & harder as the switch got worse & worse. Thanks again, Dave" Kathleen in Vienna, VA - "I picked up [Ms.GPS] at the post office on Sat. and I got to use her that night. She is performing at peak efficiency. Thank you so very much!!"

Respectfully, Brian" Steve in Henderson, NC - "Good morning Jim, I picked up our GPS unit late yesterday and it works perfectly! Thank you so much. My wife is an international flight attendant for American Air, and uses her Nuvi to get around on layovers. When I dropped and broke the screen, I was concerned that I might have to buy a new one. Hold on. Sharcnet to the rescue. I am a tax and business consultant, and most businesses could take a cue from you on customer service. You were quick to respond, diagnose, service and return. You even did preventative measures, and found a problem I had forgotten. And on top of that, you provided a 24 hour turnaround! Wow. I sent her Nuvi on Monday and received it back on Wednesday in time for my wife's next trip (and keep me out of the doghouse). Your responsive, customer oriented service sets the high standard for service and value by which all others, including [Factory brand], will be judged. Being a two Nuvi family, both will sleep well knowing you are there. Your customer for life, Steve" Deepak in Belmont, CA - "Hi, thanks. I have received it and it is working fine. Regards, Deepak."

Richard" Doug in Snellville, GA - "Jim, I received the unit yesterday and verified that it works this morning. Thank you for your quick service. I thought my only option was to buy another GPS unit because of the expensive repair costs at [Factory brand]. I'm glad that I found your repair business. Thanks for your help." Oleg in Costa Mesa, CA - "I am very happy and I want to say Thank You Very Much for all that you have done to help me, starting with your advice, and ending with such a fast shipping of perfect parts for a very much affordable price, which was very reasonable even for a used unit. If you ever need a reference, you can count on me." Ken in Wheatley, Ontario, Canada - "Hi Jim, I received my GPS on Friday.....I appreciate the great work & service you have provided for me.

Anyway, the [GPS] works great, and I'm giving it to my girlfriend, since she has some piece of crap navigation system in her car. She will be thrilled, and I'm saving a link to you for future repairs. You are very professional and super efficient on turn-around. Hope your business is booming, since you're doing everything right. Thanks again, Jim. Gratefully, Rich." Robert in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada - "Hi Jim, I just received the repaired GPS.

Rob in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada - "Hi James, I received my GPS today. I tried it out and it works great..... Thanks so much for your excellent repair service. I wish there were more businesses interested in a repair instead of replace policy. I wish you years of success in your endeavors. If you ever travel to Nova Scotia feel free to look me up. We can talk about music and have a beverage on the Halifax waterfront while listening to Jigs and Reels. Best regards, Rob". Celtic Rant Rita in New York, NY - "Hi Jim, Everything works great.

I'll let you know if there are any issues or general GPS questions.....Johnny" Dave in Ballston Spa, NY - "Jim: Thanks so much for the repair. The sound is no longer garbled. I think I will keep the audio at 80% from now on to try not to overdrive the speaker. Even at 100%, it was difficult to hear so 80% won't be that much worse. In your spare time, you might develop a clip on amplified speaker for these GPS units. ;-) The turn around time was amazing, too. I spent more time watching your site, waiting for you not to be overloaded so I could send my unit, than in actually mailing it and having it returned. Thanks again for the work you did on this. If my son or any of my friends have issues with their units, I will know just where to refer them. David. " Frank in San Pedro, CA - "Jim, I just received my GPS and it's working absolutely perfect!!

Your communication during the process was terrific, the repaired unit was returned promptly (with updated firmware, to boot) and was very well packed. you even held off shipping for a week so i could return from an out of town trip--that's service! I have enjoyed reading your posts online about the broken switch and was thrilled to have you as an option when ours failed--much cheaper and friendlier than dealing with [Factory]. Thanks again! Feel free to post this note online, or let me know if you need a reference. I'd be glad to help. Best, Karen" Kregg in Tustin, CA - "Hi Jim, I got the GPS unit in the mail last Wednesday.

Lou in Burleson, TX - "Jim, Thank you so much for the quick return of my GPS. You were recommended to me from a friend who also used your service on his GPS. Although it took me a while to get in line it was well worth the wait. I will highly recommend anyone to Sharcnet. Along with a fair price I must say I am most impressed with the communications I received from you. You let me know when the GPS was received, when you started work and when you finished the date it was shipped back to me. Quality work as well as great customer service. Can you ask for more? Thanks again, Lou" Hal in Villanova, PA - "Dear Jim, My GPS works better than it did new! Maybe [Factory Brand] should hire you for product development?

I would highly recommend your services." Carlos in Portland, OR - "Hi Jim, I received my GPS yesterday (Monday) in the mail. I would have gotten it on Saturday, but nobody was at the office to receive it. First thing I noticed was that the flip-up antenna hinge (the trouble spot) felt a lot tighter and sturdier. I turned the GPS on. Even indoors, it locked on to satellites in no time. It could not find satellites at all before I sent it to SHARCNET. I transferred all my waypoints to the GPS and it is now in perfect working order! My wife, who thought it would never work again, was happily surprised on the way to work this morning. It didn't lose its satellite connection at all! Thank you so much for your service, Jim! I'm sure that many satisfied customers share my sentiments. Sincerely, Carlos" Lana in Huntersville, NC - "Thank you, Jim... We received the GPS safe and sound. Appreciate your care in fixing and packaging it for return.

Somehow said it was in safe mode the other day, but I canceled that and all appears to be working perfectly. Many and sincere thanks for fixing it! I will be recommending you to friends that find that they have GPS (or camera) problems. I very much appreciate the personal touch you provided me. Can't believe the tiny little diode you taped to my return that was the cause of the problem! Many thanks! Scott." Curtis in Beaverton, OR - "Hi Jim, Per your request for feedback once I received my GPS back. You did an awesome job not only for the actual repair but also with communicating throughout the whole process. My fixed GPS works great & I am one extremely pleased customer.

Gene in Madison, NJ - "Hi Jim, I want to take a moment to thank you for the fine work that you did fixing the speaker and reinforcing the on/off button on my nuvi 660 GPS. When the audio went out I figured that I'd have to replace it. I was thrilled to find your shop when I went looking for what might be wrong (nice guidance you've posted to the GPS forum, incidentally). Thanks to you I saved the several hundred dollars' difference between your modest charges and the cost of a new GPS. I'm usually the suspicious type, but there was something that rang especially true about the information on your SHARCNET website. I think that it was the fact that you are so open with information, and that you described your service clearly, without hyperbole or exagerated claims. I also have to thank you for your excellent communication during the entire process. It was comforting to know when you received my shipment, when you would finish the repair, and when you shipped the GPS back to me. Top notch service all the way. In the end, I wholeheartedly recommend SHARCNET's repair service. Kindest regards, Gene." Teri in Minnetonka, MN - "Jim, The unit just arrived. I couldn’t be happier.

Paul in Los Altos, CA - " Jim -- I have received my [GPS] 350 back and am very happy with the results -- the price, the speed of the repair, and most of all, your clear communications. (I am a Silicon Valley "techie", so I really appreciate the detailed explanation of the problem. I also understand very well the design flaw with the power switch.)

The review should show up in a couple of days. Joe." Brian in Upton, MA - "Jim, The GPS units arrived on Thursday and my wife was fortunately home to get the package. They work great.
