Only a dealer with a large equipment inventory and evening support can give you the peace of mind that problems will be taken care of quickly. It is hard to put a value on having evening tech support when most meetings take place and you have to go live. We do our own installs so we don't have to rely on who we subcontracted the work to, to figure out what went wrong! Access A/V can be your turnkey solution for design, installation, technical support and service for your facility. Service is done in-house with turn around times that average less than five days. Loaner equipment is also available for those critical items. Rest assured that Access A/V will provide you with the most comprehensive pre-sale consultation, on-site installation and post-sale support of any dealer in the industry.
