Description
Repairs for these units are no longer offered.
We have repaired Holden Commodore VZ, VY and Monaro Blaupunkt head units for many years and they are units we know well and have always liked working on. Unfortunately, ongoing repairs are no longer viable due to parts availability issues that are outside of our control.
The most common failure points in these units are the CD drive assembly and the display. In the past, we were able to continue repairs by refurbishing units and maintaining our own stock of spare parts. That stock has now been exhausted.
Replacement CD drive lasers, which are a frequent failure item, are no longer obtainable. Display assemblies are also no longer available, particularly for Monaro variants, where suitable replacements can no longer be sourced.
As a result, we are unable to offer a reliable or repeatable repair solution for these models.
Please do not send or deliver these units to us, as we are unable to accept them for repair.
The Repair Procedure
Ready to get your stereo repaired? There are two possible steps; read on
- Australia Wide – If you’re not a local to us
The majority of our repairs turn up at our workshop in a box and leave in a box so we are custom to this method. The method is usually as follows
- Contact us by our contact form or by phone to answer any questions you may have with your stereo before sending or just send away! (With our repair form in the box so we know who’s radio it is when it arrives)
- Removing the stereo out of your car. You can get your local auto-mechanic or auto-electrician to remove your stereo, a friend or even take it out yourself! We may have a removal video for your stereo.
- Pack your stereo in a box with plenty of packing material to protect it – It may have an issue but you still want it to turn up safe. Make sure you have filled out our Mail-In form and placed in the box (You can find it on this page). Once filled out, our system will automatically email you your repair form to put in the box. If you can’t print the form, the email provides information on what to put in the box.
- Send it off to us, once arrived we book in and start the diagnosis/repair process. From here we will be in contact along the repair process
- Once repaired, tested and payment finalised we freight your unit straight back to you.
- Locals
If you’re a local to us you can drop the Stereo off at our workshop if already removed from the car, or we can book a time for you to bring the car to us to have the Stereo removed. Please call us on 1300 211 773 to confirm a booking. Sometimes we can have an exchange unit available for on the spot repairs, otherwise, we would remove the radio from your car and set you on your way with your car minus the stereo for repairs.
