Love this place and love what they are doing for community. Everytime I need something electronically I rather go here to support local small businesses. Found out they also have place in back of store which teaches soldering amongst other things. Great place for home schoolers to possibly get credit for technology

Gizmos is a great locally owned Radio Shack electronics store that has rare and familiar electronic Hardware. Also they have an electronic soldering class as well. The store manager Craig is a very informative and knowledgeable gentleman cant recommend him enough.

It was amazing, he even let me look around at the computers in his maker space for 1 part that I couldnt find. The museum is amazing too.I completely recommend this store!

They provide a much needed public service with their maker-space. I wondered why Williamsburg didn’t have anything like that...well it does and it is for all ages and covers different domains. Recommended that you call in

Stopped into the store today to find a solution for listening to music in my older car with an old tape player stereo. Craig was extremely helpful and let me try out a couple of options with my phone before I committed to a purchase. Definitely one of the best customer service experiences Ive had in a long time, thank you!

It has been a wonderful and exciting experience, for myself, grandson and husband. Even though, I worked in electronics years earlier mg, its nothing like really learning how the components work. We thoroughly enjoy ours Saturdays with Gizmoes. Thanks

The owner was super friendly and gave me a tour of the awesome maker-space. He told me all about the classes they give there on soldering, arduino, and much more. I highly recommend Gizmoes to anyone looking to learn about electronics!

Great store. I go in with a list of bits I need for my project and they found them for me. I always end up looking around, and usually find things I forgot Id wanted. My girlfriend doesnt even mind going with me. She is tech challanged but always gets her questions answered in a way she understands the answer. Thats GOLD for me!!

I am not a techie & most electronic devices baffle me. When I walk into Gizmoes Craig is always willing to help me with any problems/questions I have. He recently helped me change cell phones & explained all the new apps. He made it very easy for me to adjust to a more complicated phone.I have been a satisfied customer for many years, even at their former location in Williamsburg. I highly recommended Gizmoes.

Review №14

I feel the sales person could had been more knowledgeable about the electrical component products. I was also disappointed that they didnt carry name brand micro-controllers. The one I purchased was a clone of the Arduino and it has poor solder joints. A plus to the business is the fact that they have a small selection of training demonstrations. Its a good business that I would like to see grow.

Went here to buy a cable to run between my CB radio and my antenna. Not sure who the guy working there at the time was but he came out and checked my antenna and even noticed that I had grounded it incorrectly and helped me fix it.

This store has electronics components you wont find anywhere else locally. The staff are knowledgeable, and the prices are fair. They even offer a wide range of repair services. This store is really one of a kind in Williamsburg, check them out and support local business!

I love this particular Radio Shack. The owner, Craig, is extremely generous with his time if you have a problem. Hes a born problem solver. He recently spent a lot of time sorting out a my electric scooter batteries malfunction, even though it did not result in my making a purchase from him at the time, because he fixed the underlying cause. I consider him a Williamsburg Treasure. And this is not the first time that either Craig or one of his staff has come to my rescue.

I have not visited this particular Gizmes-RadioShack on this part of Richmond Road. I have sat out front of it having a Snow-N-Go shaved ice. However I have never had a need to go to this Gizmoes-RadioShack. I have traveled by it many times since living in Williamsburg. I do know that many RadioShack stores specializes in many varieties of electronic mechecendise. I am sure that this store is a satisfying place to do business at.

Found our way here for the free electronics class on Saturday morning and we had a fantastic time! Kids learned to solder and made their first project on day one. There was so much going on and it opened up their imaginations... building drones and game stations and making arduino projects. We even ran into a classmate from elementary school and now theyll be building projects together through the summer. Cant wait for our next visit! Thoroughly recommend stopping by for one their Saturday classes! :)

I make an effort to stop here almost everytime I pass through Williamsburg. Great selection of products, very knowledgeable staff and very good prices. The spirit of Radio Shack (Back when Radio Shack had a soul and was a great place to shop.) lives on at Gizmos. Gizmos location on Richmond road puts them in better view of the tourist traffic. I wouldnt be surprised if it becomes a must stop location for the tech minded tourist in Williamsburg.
