Fast, One-Visit Repairs is Our Goal
No one wants a half-disassembled couch sitting in their living room for days or weeks. That's why we keep our truck stocked with the most common parts at all times.
Because we carry an array of replacement handles, heavy-duty cables, power switches, transformers, and replacement motors, we are frequently able to complete your repair on our very first service call.

What Kind of Chair Needs Fixing?
Electric & Power Recliners
If your chair is plugged into the wall and refusing to move, has stopped halfway up, or makes a terrible grinding noise when you press the button, our repair services will get the power flowing again. We fix motors, control boxes, switches, and lift chairs.
Manual & Mechanical Recliners
If your chair relies on old-fashioned muscle power but the handle has snapped off, the release cable has gone completely slack, or simply nothing's happening when you try, we'll help. We replace handles, cables, levers or springs to ensure smooth, effortless operation.
Don’t Retire Your Favorite Chair—Repair It.
We’ve all been there.
You hit the button to settle in for the big game and… nothing. Or maybe it went up (or worse, halfway up), stopped, and now you’re stranded in your own living room. If you’ve obstinately tried pressing the button more times and realize that your disgruntled exhortations aren't working... take a deep breath.
Don't start shopping yet. At MasterTech Furniture Repair, we diagnose and fix motorized recliners, power sofas, sectionals, and lift chairs throughout Pinellas County. We get that comfy couch working like new for a whole lot less than the price of a brand-new one.
Electrically Powered Recliners
Common Electric Recliner Problems We Fix Daily
- The Motor Stuttered and Quit: If your chair makes a clicking noise but won't move, or if it died silently mid-recline, the linear actuator motor may have burned out. We stock standard replacements to swap them safely.
- Goes Up But Won't Go Down (Or Vice-Versa): This is incredibly common and usually indicates a failed toggle switch, a bad remote control, a motor out, or a short circuit in the wiring mechanism.
- Pinched or Severed Power Cords: Because recliners move, power cords easily get trapped, crushed, or severed inside the scissor mechanisms underneath the frame. We safely replace damaged wiring and route them out of harm's way.
- Lift Chair Failures: For those who rely on lift chairs for daily mobility, a breakdown is an emergency. We prioritize lift chair diagnostics to restore your independence safely and quickly.
- Custom Workarounds: If your chair is an older model and the original part is completely discontinued on the aftermarket, Grant can often interchange components or engineer a safe workaround to keep your treasured chair operational.
- Broken Springs: If the world is suddenly looks crooked, it's probably your chair. There are two types of springs in your recliner. The springs we can repair are the spiral springs with hooks on the end. So, if you find a spring under your chair, hang on to it. Before we come, we can be sure to have the right spring on the truck and fix it in one trip.

Manual Recliners
Common Manual Recliner Problems We Fix Daily
- The Broken Release Handle: Whether it’s a classic exterior flipper lever (car-door type), a handle that looks like a D-ring or hidden interior pull-trigger tucked next to the cushion, plastic and metal handles wear down and break. We swap them out with durable, smooth-operating replacements.
- Snapped or Stretched Pull Cables: If you pull the handle and feel absolutely no resistance—or if you have to yank it with all your might to get a reaction—the internal steel cable has likely snapped or stretched out of spec. We've got you covered there, too.
- Broken Springs: If the world is suddenly looks crooked, it's probably your chair. There are two types of springs in your recliner. The springs we can repair are the spiral springs with hooks on the end. So, if you find spring under your chair, hang on to it. Before we come, we can be sure to have the right spring on the truck and fix it in one trip.

Recliner FAQs
Can You Make My Electric Recliner into a Manual One?
No. The innards are just too different. You would spend way more than a new chair.

Do You Carry Parts With You?
“Do you carry parts?” usually means “Can you fix it the first time you come out?”
Most of the time, we can. We try to keep the standard parts in stock and ready to go. That said, recliners come in remarkable variety.
A few manufacturers limit access to their parts - mostly the Big Names in recliners. (You know who you are.)
Fortunately, most manufacturers use parts that are accessible.
Do You Fix Natuzzi Recliners? I Understand they are Different
Yes. We typically can repair both manual and electric recliners.
You are right on the parts. Some of the parts are different – for example, in some manual models, the cables are longer. So we carry those cables, too.
Do You Repair La-Z-Boys?
Sometimes. We'll need a picture of the buttons or handle on the side of your recliner.
How much does it cost to fix my recliner?
We need to inspect it before we know what's wrong. However, before we even go out there, we do our best to understand the issue. We're real people and ask questions and usually for a picture or two.
We can "ballpark" it, though. When we replace your buttons, that appointment is usually $175-200. When we replace a motor, that visit usually costs $270-290. Most other repairs fall between $125-175.
Bear in mind, if it isn't a standard part, we may have had to make a first $ 75 diagnostic visit before researching and receiving the part.
