We live in a damaged world and the very skills we need to repair it are being slowly eroded. FUTO is an oasis in this desert. I had broken electronics on a grinder and I brought it in to repair it. Normally, I would have been too intimidated to even think about touching electronics or event touching a soldering gun, but with the patient instruction of Patrick, I left not only with a repaired grinder I had the satisfaction of repairing myself but new knowledge of how to use flux, solder and wick. Totally free and operating out of Rossman repair during normal business hours.

I came here a few times last year to repair various different automotive electronics. The equipment is great and the staff is friendly and assist with any questions.

Louis himself walked me through the basics of soldering, chip removal, and how to use the various tools for electronics repair. Fantastic program and I couldn't be happier! If I didn't live so far away I'd be here daily.

Dan was great and patient. He guided me with the repair of a damaged key fob and identified some other issues with the board that I had not noticed. I fixed a broken trace, replaced a battery, and reflowed some damaged pads/solder joints that Dan noticed. I was unsure if I wanted to tackle the job myself or pay for a repair. I’m glad I did the open repair workshop as it was quite the rewarding experience. Thanks Dan! Thanks FUTO! And thanks Louis? Yeah, thanks Louis!
