“Ryan is in Columbia, SC, and I am in Charlotte, NC. Despite this distance, Ryan has come out to my house twice to repair my pins, both times within a week or so of I contacting him. His trip charge and hourly rate are very fair, and is professionalism is unparalleled. The level of Ryan's knowledge is nothing short of impressive, both respect to older electromechanicals and newer games. There is no problem he cannot solve. Moreover, Ryan is efficient and thorough; he leaves no stone unturned. Bottom line: repair people like him are very far and few between. Finally, Ryan is extremely courteous, and his communication skills are impeccable. If he doesn't pick up, he always texts back or calls back within a very short time frame. Ryan is highly recommended.”

“Let me just say that I have never done business with a more honest and dependable service company. This includes ALL service people that have come to my home in 20 years!! The integrity that Ryan lives by is evident in his work! I have a pinball machine that was literally dead and beyond repair. Ryan's friendly personality and technical knowledge will blow your mind! He was able to repair this machine to work and look as new! His communication through the entire process was second to none. This was my first time doing business with Ryan and you have found someone you can trust in your home...even if you are not there. I have met a friend, not just a pinball repair technician!”

“Ryan repaired a pinball machine that was damaged by sellers neglect. Ryan showed up on time and did the necessary repairs and then did extra work so the same problem wouldn’t happen again. He was professional and courteous and did an excellent job. I’ll use Ryan going forward for regular preventative maintenance on my machine to keep it in top shape.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ December 2018
“Very glad I found Ryan. I’ve had issues with a Terminator 3 machine since purchasing it used about 8 years ago. I’ve had four different repair persons try and fix the same problem since it first came into our home including the large Houston based arcade company we bought it from, who stood by their short warranty period, working on it three times. Same issue each time. Even went back to the shop twice. I don’t think we have over ten hours of play time on it yet. Ryan’s experience with electronic machines shows in his knowledge of this type of equipment. My problem was very basic and was taken care of in a few minutes. Been playing this game for about an hour now with no issues. Will update this review after putting many more hours on it in the coming months. I highly recommend Ryan with RB Pinball Repair.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ November 2018
“I had an issue with the sound card in my Taxi game. Ryan was quick to respond, came over to take a look, and we came up with a good plan to get it working. Ryan knows what he's doing, and made good suggestions for some upgrades and quick fixes.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ November 2018
“I purchased a 70's era electro-mechanical pinball machine which stopped working on me after I hauled it home. Called a couple of other pinball repair companies, and either they wouldn't work on the 70's machines or they wouldn't come out to my location. Then I called RB Pinball and talked to Ryan. It didn't take me long to figure out he had a deep knowledge of pinball machines and I was surprised when he said he would come on-site to take a look at it. He quickly diagnosed the problem and not only did he get the machine running, he taught me a lot of how to work on the machine and how to maintain it over time. I highly recommend Ryan at RB Pinball.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ November 2018
“Perfect experience. I had a 720 that was in my collection for a couple of months and died. RB Pinball repaired it very quickly onsite and now it's working perfectly again. I had another game that was acting up and Ryan quickly solved the issue. They will get all of my repair business moving forward. Great work, great guy.”

“Not sure how to start how to say how amazing Ryan is at his knowledge and passion at pinball. My first pinball was flash and it was in rough shape. Dead not working and Ryan was fast to help me. He lived so far away from me he was willing to help me over the phone. After hours and week's on the phone with many late night phone calls flash...my first machine is diagnosed. Mostly fixed just waiting on last parts. Ryan is so clear...precise ..and sure of his abilities in this hobby. I am impressed and forever a client and friend.....THANX RYAN BEE...signed Gene Robertson......I must add he has a crazy passion over this hobby and to help people...after thought... came back to add and edit...great human...bye”

“Bought a RFM Machine online, Ryan totally went through it for me ...He provides customer service the way it should be provided! He went above and beyond making sure my machine arrived, in the condition he sent it in. He packed it very well in a crate he made himself! If your interested in doing business with him don't hesitate and Buy with confidence!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ August 2018
“Knowledgeable, professional and all around great service! I was looking for a specific machine (Bride of PinBot) in the Dallas area, but many of them were beat up; duct-taped together or just all around nasty. I found a good BoP in the Houston area, but wanted it to be looked at before I bought it/took it home. Ryan helped me review the machine/shop it out/and make sure it was in great condition before I bought it from the other owner. He got it fixed and in great shape before we loaded it up. I don't mean we just threw it in my truck, he packed/wrapped it so well, it looks like it was packed at the factory. I drove threw a thunderstorm on the way home and not one drop of water hit the machine ...that is perfect! I would highly recommend anyone in the Houston area use him for your service needs! I will use him again for my Houston machine needs!”

“Ryan did an excellent job identifying the problem with our arcade and fixed it quickly!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ June 2018
“Sooo glad that I've found RB Pinball! Ryan isn't like any other arcade/pinball repair guy I've ever dealt with. Honest, fair, professional, and very knowledgeable. That's not what you usually say about the hacks that try to fix your machines, and in the end just make them worse. Having Ryan work on your games is like having someone from Williams, Bally, or Data East come over... he just knows these machines and how they work! He doesn't waste time with weird fixes and short-term miracles. Everything's done just the way it should be. And the other crazy thing: he keeps his appointments and is reachable by phone or text when you need him. That's a huge selling point in itself. He's reliable. Just when you thought there was no one left that could or would fix your broken games. Now there is... Call RB Pinball!! You'll be happy you did.”

“Props to Ryan! He is extremely knowledgeable in his craft, is personable and, best of all, fixed my Star Wars pinball machine better than new. Ryan updated my software and worked with the settings to adjust the difficulty to my desired level. He gave me suggestions to improve the appearance of my machine, some of which I used and others that I may try at a later date. Can’t say enough good about this guy! Thanks Ryan.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ April 2018
“I bought an older solid state Williams Gen 6 Flash a while back in Austin, knowing that there were some issues. I had Ryan take a look at the machine and not only did he get the machine back up and running, he has it running like a new machine. He's very quick and thorough. Because of my experience, I bought a machine from him, a Williams Gen 7 Jungle Lord, that he had completely shopped. Nice machine. I would not hesitate recommending Ryan for service or to buy a nice machine from.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ April 2018
“The OG PinBro, Ryan is simply the best. Brought back a Data East pin from the dead - endless hours troubleshooting and fixing. Prior to that, repaired (and upgraded it to a point BETTER than when it rolled off the production floor many moons ago in Chicago) an old Williams Hyperball machine that hadn't fired a ball in nearly 15 years! If you're looking for an honest, cool dude to work on your machines - look no further, you found him.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ April 2018
“Had a 94 World Cup pinball that needed repair and could not find anyone in Houston that could do it. Not sure how I found Ryan but he was amazing--knowledgeable, prompt and honest. Had my pinball repaired to my complete satisfaction at a fair price. Will have all future repairs done by him and recommend anyone else needing a pinball repair to contact him.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ April 2018
