West Music Co has been serving musicians in Coralville for decades as a comprehensive music retailer specializing in instruments for band, orchestra, and classroom music programs. While the company built its reputation primarily around educational music needs, their service department extends to fretted instruments, holding the distinction of being a Fender Authorized Repair Center. This authorization means their guitar techs have met Fender’s rigorous standards for instrument repair and setup work.

The store’s repair services cover the full spectrum of guitar maintenance, from basic setups and string changes to more complex fretwork and electronics troubleshooting. As a Fender Authorized facility, they have access to genuine parts and stay current with factory specifications for proper restoration and adjustment. Their luthier services also extend to other stringed instruments including ukuleles, banjos, and mandolins from their folk instrument selection.

Beyond their repair bench, West Music maintains an extensive showroom featuring guitars, ukuleles, amplifiers, and accessories alongside their educational instrument inventory, making them a one-stop destination for both purchase and ongoing instrument maintenance needs in the Iowa City-Coralville area.
