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 every piece of equipment and customer is treated with the same care.

• Our minimum charge of $95 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 folks chasing the lowest quote or rate, who often learn the hard way that cutting corners, disappointing workmanship, low-quality components, and devalued and damaged equipment are anything but good value. The most notorious corner cutter in Perth charges burger-flipper rates – appealing to the naive, perhaps, but far 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 mid-range hourly rate and impeccable reputation equal unmatched value for money, no doubt contributing to being fully booked for much of every year. That said, we do our best to fit everyone in!

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.
