Metro Guitar Service

Great service. I had both an acoustic and electric set-​up done by Greg. The acoustic played great with the lowered action but was having some persistent fret buzzing. I took it back to Greg and he immediately corrected it. It now plays perfect. I will be going back in the future.

Greg is great. He has worked on several basses for me, offered his opinion on them, helped me decide what needed to be done and what didn’t, etc. I trusted him with my ’72 Fender P without hesitation.

Fantastic, quality service. Greg has worked on several of my guitars to support my guitar habit, and they have all come out awesome. He’s the only guy I trust in the area. His turnaround time is fast, and his service is top notch.

Greg set up my bass within two days of dropping it off. There aren’t a lot of other options around, but he was fast and very professional. I’d definitely come back again.

This guy rocks — fast turnaround, great prices, good communication (phone/​email), convenient hours and location and best of all: he did magic (magic, I tell ya!) on my old acoustic.
Highly recommended. I think I am going to buy another instrument, just so he can fix that one, too!

Just stopped by to get a grounding issue checked out on 2 of my guitars. Greg was friendly, fixed both guitars while I was there and also did a mini set-​up on one of them all for an extremely reasonable price. I would definitely recommend him and will be going back for any guitar repair needs in the future.

Fast, friendly and excellent service. What more could you ask for? Subject matter expert and also gave recommendations for lessons.

I heard great reviews about this place, and I believe he does good work, but my recent experience involved a deceptive sales maneuver in which the shop owner tacked on extra money without telling me until I went to pick the guitar up. This was after i confirmed the price with him multiple times and even called to seek advice before buying the part needed on ebay. I was disappointed to learn of the extra expense last second after we had established a line of communication throughout the process and he could’ve let me know ahead of time. In the end, I would likely choose a different shop in the future due to the poor communication on Greg’s end.
I will add he did offer a refund, but it felt like I was guilt-​tripped as he explained he needed to add minimal extra labor that added up to the extra cost. Though, this was after consulting him over the phone on what exactly I should look for in the part needed before spending 100+ for it on eBay.
I am very non-​confrontational and felt cornered by Greg’s extra charge, and simply wish he would’ve been more forthright with an admitted novice when it comes to guitars.

Fast, friendly, and convenient. Greg set up a Gibson I’ve been struggling with in a few hours and got me playing it again. I can’t recommend him enough.

Top notch! Reasonable cost and quick turnaround. Notched the bridge saddles on my bass and did a great set up; went above and beyond.

Greg is the man! Not the federal man who is «da man» but Greg is THE man. I had a guitar mu dad gave me and it was old, ugly and in need of all kinds of work. Problems that i didnt even know guitars could have.
I know nothing about guitars and took it here on a whim.
Next thing I know. My dads guitar looks and sounds like a guitar again.

Greg is awesome. I just bought a new bass guitar and never played before. I wanted to have it looked at to be sure everything was good to go before my new lesson. With no experience with this particular instrument, I was expecting to spend a lot for adjustments. Greg looked it over, played it and explained that it was already pretty much good to go!
There are so many places that would have loved to have someone as green as I am come in so that they could up sell so many services and products but Greg was very honest. With his honesty, he gained a loyal customer that will continue to visit as well as promote his business. This type of service is so rare these days but it never goes without gratitude and appreciation.
Greg also recommended an instructor which was an added plus. I was in and out. Many can learn a lot from Greg!

Greg worked on my Taylor. He was very thorough, lowered the action, and installed new strings. I am pleased with his attention to detail and knowledge he was happy to share. Very reasonable.

Brought an acoustic guitar that had been seriously neglected for years in for a tune-​up before playing in a friend’s wedding. It was ready next day (although I didn’t even need rush service). Great work. Fair price. Very knowledgeable. Can’t ask for anything more. Thanks Greg.

Greg is super awesome, very knowledgable. He is very good at what he does. Keep up the good work Greg!!!

Thank goodness for Greg Kurczewski and Metro Guitar Service. He is by far the best Professional Guitar Repair Technician in the DC area.
I brought Greg 5 guitars on the same day with a variety of needs — intonation, setup, electrical, etc. Greg performed excellent work and cared for the instruments as if they were his own. All were finished and ready for pickup just 2 days later! Greg even took the time and effort to clean the instruments as part of his regular service.
You will find Greg’s prices are very reasonable. He posts them on his website, so you can check for yourself.
Greg is a genuinely nice guy who does excellent work, charges fair prices and has amazingly quick turnaround. I’m a customer as long as he’s in business. I hope you will give Greg a call the next time you need guitar repair.

WISH I COULD GIVE METRO GUITAR SERVICE 10 STARS !!!
Dropped my Les Paul off for a pickup installation.
I dropped my guitar of at 10:30. It was ready at 12:30.
This is my «personal best»…2 hour turn around service.
I defy ANYONE in NOVA to provide better service.
The ONLY better service would be: «while you wait».
THE FASTEST TURN AROUND SERVICE IN NOVA. PERIOD !

We chose Metro Guitar service for its high reviews here on Unilocal and we were not disappointed! My dad broke a string on my husband’s guitar and we didn’t have the tools or knowledge to fix it. We showed up at Metro Guitar Service and no one was there. I called the number and Greg said he was on his way back from lunch, so we waited a couple of minutes. When he got back, he took one look at my husband’s guitar, fixed the string and tuned it within the first minute and then told him it was free of charge since we had waited for him.
I was really surprised when my husband walked back to the car just a minute or two after meeting Greg. His skill and customer service are obviously top notch, and we will return again for any and all of our guitar needs. I would HIGHLY recommend this place :)

I echo all of the reviews here. Greg does thorough work, on a speedy timeline, at quite fair prices. He is also honest in his opinions. I have taken half a dozen guitars to him and he did great work on all of them. He has even been as forthright as to let me know when the guitar needed less work done than I suspected, saving me time and money. Your equipment is in great hands if you have Metro Guitar work on it.

If you’re reading this review, your poor guitar is probably down and out. GOOD NEWS. There is a resident guitar god in our area and his name is Greg at Metro Guitar
Greg fixed my guitar in a matter of minutes and I was on my way. Very fair price. He’s got a cool, clean little shop with plenty of parking. It was worth the drive from DC. I didn’t feel at any point I was paying for unnecessary overhead. My repair was quite simple, so even if you’re a relative novice, Greg is happy to help.
Greg is also happy to give pointers and answer any questions you have. He’s completely flexible and will work around your schedule.
