Testimonial

“I have been using this company for over 10 years. I've had DVD copies made there, have had videos converted from European to American standards, have had videos edited there.

I trust them so much that I had them transfer my 87 year old father's life story so it would be preserved when he's no longer here. They have even videotaped and edited events at my kids' school.

Big jobs, small jobs, it doesn't matter. They have always finished the work by the time they promised it. I'm always looking for the best price so I appreciate that they don't nickel and dime you. They're patient in explaining what they charge and they charge what they quote you.

I feel lucky that I found them and that they're
convenient to get to.”

Audio Video Workshop Sponsors Little League Baseball

Thanks to the continued support of our local San Francisco Bay Area customers, AV Workshop was able to sponsor Pacifica American - Little League Baseball in 2012. In addition, I (Scott Sargent) coached the team.

It was a joy to give back to the community and make a difference in Society and in the youth of today! I put in approx. 300 hrs on the field and enjoyed every moment of it. My goal was to give kids a sense of accomplishment through following and focusing on good technique, thousands of repetitions, and pure hustle. I wanted them to be able look back on a successful season and realize that this is the recipe for success and it could be applied to just about anything they wanted in life. Looking back, it was the best time and money we've ever spent! As a result, I want to thank all of you who have supported Audio Video Workshop by entrusting us in your Audio / Video projects - I want to thank you for keeping it local! You made a difference!...
