Planning ahead for repairs and services

Guitar Center offers repairs, setup, and lessons at most locations, but these services may not be available every day or every hour. If you need your guitar repaired or set up, call ahead and ask when the repair technician is working. Some stores have technicians available only certain days of the week.

Lessons are also scheduled in advance. If you want to book a lesson today, call the store to see if an instructor has an opening. Walk-in lessons are not always possible, especially during busy hours.

What information to have ready

If you're coming in for a repair or trade-in, bring your instrument and any paperwork you have — the original receipt, warranty information, or proof of purchase. This speeds up the process and helps staff give you an accurate quote.

Some Guitar Center stores are located inside shopping malls. If yours is, the store's hours may be limited by the mall's hours. Check the Guitar Center website first, but if the hours seem short, call the store to confirm. The mall itself may close earlier than a standalone Guitar Center location.

Mall locations may also have different policies about parking, returns, or service availability. If you're visiting a mall location for the first time, a quick phone call can save you a trip.
