Wards Classic Car Radio Repair

Burdar · December 17, 2019, 11:13:51 AM

I just saw this posted on Moparts. Thought everyone over here should be made aware of this as well. Wards converted my Dart's AM radio to AM/FM and installed RCA jacks in the back. Sad to see a good company closing their doors.

QuoteIt is a very sad day for us here . My dad , the senior technician at Wards Classic Car Radio Repair, has just lost a battle with cancer
and just went on to heaven this afternoon. I can not continue this business without him. After 20 years we are shutting down as of today.
Thanks to all that have used our services in the past ,thank you .

That is absolutely terrible.

Saw that about a week ago , too bad Dad didn't teach his son all of the ins & outs so he could continue

Who else offers this service now? He was fantastic at what he did and its going to leave a big hole in the Mopar community.

I have purchased speakers from this guy and is great to deal with. He does conversions to newer amplifiers, not sure about restorations. http://www.turnswitch.com/

Oh my! What terrible news! Greg's dad was a wonderful person and worked on four radios for me over the years, just recently competing one in August of this year!

I know there is a place in Michigan that works on the radios and just did my friends AM/FM in his 71 Cuda. Will have to find out who.

If anyone hears of another reputable place, please let me know. I have an R11 in my 70 that looks to be in super shape, yet I've never tried it. Wouldn't mind having it gone through.

Another Mopar resource gone... We need to pass our knowledge on to the next generation no matter what our specialty is.
