I don't think @Linnin meant any harm. I saw it is kind of a light hearted comment about 30 miles being a problem. You local shops might be able to repair it, but I don't know if they can get parts or not. Have you called Fender Customer Service to discuss the fact that the authorized shop is too busy to look at your amp? I would suggest that should be your next step.

Maybe I was being too sensitive, but to see "Suck it up, Buttercup" bothered me a bit. Yes, My local shop is INCREDIBLE, they have fixed amps that I never thought fixable, these guys are fantastic! And I have also talked to Fender's Customer Service, and they told me that it is what it is.....if I wasn't happy with the closest repair center, I should go to the next....which is 60 miles away. I'm sorry, not trying to be a pain, but I've never bought a "new" amp, and had to have it repaired....and then to have to go that far away!!

The difference between Fender authorized repairs and not, the repair shop has to do Fender "Tech Classes" to get that authorization. Use to be they had to do them once a year to be on top of the latest and greatest. Not sure now, I haven't worked in a music store in about 12 years.

Like it was said before, Fender does that to make sure the right techs they trust do the work and parts are in control. With that being said, my experience has been most all the "Fender Authorized" Repair shops have been poopie holes and sometimes have nothing to do with musical instruments or sales. One time I had to deal with a pawn shop! They didn't even do repairs, they "had a guy" they sent them to. Total BS. I called and complained to Fender and after going round and round and trying 3 other shops, all of which were out of town, Fender had me ship it to a shop in Nashville, I had to pay for shipping there and took over 4 months to get it back. It was a Warranty repair. I was sore about it, but I still love Fender.
