Professional TV is a local independent repair shop that fixes televisions on-site and handles both modern flat-screens and older CRT, projection, and plasma sets—a scope that eliminates the trip to a big-box retailer's service desk or the guesswork of mail-in repair.
Professional TV operates as a walk-in repair facility staffed by technicians who diagnose and repair sets in-house rather than shipping them out. The shop accepts televisions from customers who bring them in, evaluates the problem, and quotes repair cost against replacement value. This model suits people who own sets worth fixing and want transparency before committing to work.
The shop handles backlight failures, power supply failures, mainboard and T-con board replacement, physical damage assessment, and remote or input issues. A diagnostic fee of $49.99 applies to most sets; if the repair moves forward, that fee is credited toward the final bill. Repair costs typically range from $89 to $350 for component replacements, depending on part rarity and labor time. Full-screen replacement (for cracked or dead LCD panels) runs $200 to $600 on average, again depending on screen size and availability. The shop accepts sets up to 65 inches. Verify current pricing by calling, as parts costs fluctuate.
Professional TV quotes turnaround time during the initial consultation. Many repairs complete within 3 to 5 business days, though hard-to-source panels or specialized boards may take longer. The shop does not offer expedited service for an additional fee.
Best Buy's Geek Squad service in Oklahoma City starts with a $99.99 diagnostic fee (non-refundable) and typically suggests replacement if repair cost exceeds 50 percent of a new set's price. Geek Squad ships many repairs to regional depots, extending turnaround to 2 to 3 weeks. Best Buy carries no inventory of replacement parts in-store; parts are sourced during the repair cycle.
Rent-A-Center, which operates multiple Oklahoma City locations, does not repair customer-owned televisions; it rents or sells new and refurbished sets.
Professional TV's $49.99 diagnostic fee, credited toward repairs, costs half what Best Buy charges and is refundable in the sense that you only pay it if you proceed with repair. For sets valued under $400, Professional TV repair often makes financial sense. For newer high-end sets with warranty coverage still active, Best Buy's diagnostic may be appropriate because the manufacturer warranty likely covers failures. For older sets or orphaned models no longer under warranty, Professional TV eliminates the shipping hassle and provides a local contact if problems recur.
Professional TV suits people who own a set older than five years, live in or near central Oklahoma City, and want to repair rather than replace. It also serves people with 40- to 65-inch sets damaged by power surges or impact who need to know whether repair is possible before discarding the unit.
The shop does not suit people with sets still under manufacturer warranty (those should go through the brand or Best Buy), people unwilling to leave a television in storage for several days, or people whose sets are so new that replacement cost is competitive with repair.
Bring the television set and remote (if available). The technician powers it on, observes failure mode, checks for physical damage, and discusses options. If diagnostics are needed, pay the $49.99 fee, drop the set off, and receive a quote within 24 to 48 hours. Once you approve the repair price and timeline, the work begins. Pickup is weekday-only during business hours unless a Saturday arrangement is made in advance.
Professional TV operates Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Sunday and Monday. Street and lot parking are available. The shop is located in a accessible commercial area with room for vehicles. Call ahead if you have a large set; parking tight spots may not accommodate a truck.
Professional TV fills a repair niche that national chains have largely abandoned, offering same-city accountability and component-level expertise that benefits owners of mid-range and older televisions.
