David Taylor lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota
but the families of his parents both
came from Sonoma County. After their retirement and to help their aging
folks his parents moved back here. He came back to visit them for
Christmas 2007 and brought his iPod with him. He discovered there was
someone in town that fixed ipods and gave me a call to set up and
appointment to get the battery replaced in his 4th gen Black and White
20GB. I needed it for an hour and he came back to get it working perfectly.
Cost for him $15 for the battery and $40 labor.
Fixed - Total cost..$55.
Robert Dillon lives in Salinas, California in the Central Valley
He got a
hold of me to replace the battery in his 3rd gen iPod. We discussed how he
should send it in on the phone and I sent a follow up email summarizing
the conversation we just had.
It arrived with a money order for $57 on January 11th 2008 and the battery was replaced late that
afternoon. His repaired ipod was sent back the next day. The battery was
$17 and labor with return shipping was $40
