How much will my service or repair cost?

Only what is necessary to carefully complete the work you’ve asked us to do, and no more.

Liquid Audio has quietly become one of Australia’s most trusted specialists, delivering class-leading professional service, results and value. Some of Perth’s best hi-fi retailers, Australia’s best customers, and quality-focused manufacturers like Plinius rely on us. We’d love to assist you, too!

Pricing

Our sensible pricing and quality-first approach enable us to cater for a wide range of customers and equipment. Our flat rate covers Akai to Accuphase, Kenwood to Krell, and no customer is more or less important than any other.

• Our minimum charge is $95, which covers up to 30 minutes of workshop time
• Our standard workshop rate is currently $150/hour
• Jobs falling within a 1 – 3 hour window generally proceed automatically
• All work is billable, and accounts are payable within 7 days
• Non-local customers should view these additional considerations

Quality & Value

Businesses championing quality and professionalism are rare. Many target those chasing the lowest quote or rate. Those folks often learn the hard way that cutting corners, disappointing workmanship and results, low-quality components, and devalued and damaged equipment are anything but good value. The most notorious in WA charges burger-flipper rates; ironically too expensive for the quality of work. *

Liquid Audio delivers genuine value by focusing on what matters: quality, skilled workmanship, premium parts, laboratory-grade tools and equipment, knowledge and experience backed by university science qualifications, decades as a science professional, 16 years running Liquid Audio and a lifelong passion for hi-fi, music and technical excellence.

Our customers are generally not shopping for a price point; they’re shopping from a quality and level-of-service standpoint and know that we have little competition. Pricewise, being somewhere in the middle means we offer class-leading value for money and are often fully booked as a result.

Mike … you, of course, are a gem. We are so lucky to have someone as passionate, intelligent, ethical and hardworking in little ol’ Perth.

* One Perth business has cycled through at least four names, lost a court case and had a vehicle seized by the bailiff. Another lost a high-profile court case in 2024 because his work killed an entire hi-fi system.
