Chris has been my "go To" for all of our older Garmin and EFIS screen repairs. I cannot recommend him enough in regards, to quality, customer service (5 day turn, Garim/Dynon are you paying attention here?) and costs in repairing these still functional older units.
Thank you Chris!
The repair service offered by PalmDR / Short Tronics is nothing less than unique. There appears to be no one who can offer what Chris offers. I am so indebted to the excellent work on repairing the ROM on my Palm LifeDrive (which I messed up trying to be clever with an installation). Phew. What a relief to know that PalmDR / Short Tronics exists!!!
I have a Garmin Diesel 580. The power port got damaged and I was unable to power the unit on. Being a trucker, I keep track of all of my IFTA reporting and also have several hundred saved places in my GPS. Not being able to power the unit on would cost me several hours of trying to figure out my IFTA. I searched several local repair shops, only finding one who could not get the part needed to repair it. I fired up the google machine and found SHORT TRONICS INC and gave them a call. Chris said no problem, send it to me, I will get it back ASAP. He fixed my GPS and updated it. Turn around was less than a week (this was over the holidays!). GPS works faster now than it ever has and I have all of the information back that I thought I would never see again. Total cost, including shipping was much less than I expected. Strongly recommend, I give SHORT TONICS INC 5 stars! And I would like to give Chris a high five and buy him a cold beer. If I ever have any issue with any electronics, I am going to call Chris first.
What a unique service Chris runs at PalmDR. Excellent and invaluable service. Have used it a number of times over the years and has always provided first class repairs...
These guys are great! Top notch service Chris responds quick. They have done work for me a couple of times and I am super pleased a couple of Zumo 550's and 665's speedy turn around and affordable.....thanks guys!
Thanks a lot for doing this! I came looking for accessories for my m500 and m515 and found plenty. Everything came quickly, in great shape, and will definitely come back to check on the stock or if I need any future repairs.
Chris did an excellent job repairing my Garmin BMW Navigator VI after I ham-handed dropped it screen down in a gravel parking lot. Without the option of purchasing a new unit and not trusting the used ones for sale with high prices on ebay, options seemed to be zero. Luckily, I came across this site. Clear and very reasonable pricing was a surprise, and the very swift repair and shipment back to me was awesome. Popped the unit back in my R1250RT and did a comprehensive operational check; everything worked perfectly! Looking at it I cannot find any evidence it was ever damaged or worked on. I cannot recommend Short Tronics enough and would go back to him for repair of other devices too should they ever become necessary!
Chris Short does an excellent work of repairing GPS. He is very reasonable price and very quick repair. His communication is excellent !!! Thank you !!!
Chris Short and his company are nothing but amazing. First call and I talked with a real and knowledgeable person. He diagnosed my problem over the phone and followed through with a repair within 24 hours of receiving the unit. The slowest part of the process was the US Postal Service.
I could not be happier.
Sent my Garmin Zumo 595 to Chris Short for repair. He did a great job.
The whole process from initial communication through repair and return was simple and timely. Highly recommend his services.
