Computer & laptop repairs
Diagnosed properly before anything gets replaced
Full workshops in both stores, with an extensive range of parts held in stock so most jobs don't wait on an order. Every job starts with a diagnosis, and you'll be told the cost before anything goes further.

What the work looks like
How long it takes
Average turnaround from drop-off to completion is two to five working days, not counting weekends and public holidays. Diagnosis itself is usually one to two working days once your job reaches the front. Jobs run first in, first out unless priority is paid — and you can pre-pay to reserve your place in the queue and be notified when it's due to start.
Nothing happens without your say-so
Every job needs a diagnosis first. If additional parts or labour turn out to be needed, you'll be told before we go beyond that point. All workshop jobs are subject to our standard terms, which you sign on the jobsheet at drop-off.
Sometimes the answer is don't
If a machine isn't worth repairing, we'll say so. The diagnosis exists precisely so you can make that call on real information — and if replacing is the better spend, we'll move your data across.
