We Look Deeper Before We Touch a Single Screw

Guesswork costs you money. Every job starts with a proper diagnostic so you're quoted for what's actually wrong — not for the easiest part to swap.

  • Diagnostic First

    We identify the real fault before quoting — no unnecessary parts, no padded invoices.

  • Board-Level Capability

    From screen swaps to fine micro-soldering, we handle the detailed work in-house.

  • Tested Before It's Handed Back

    Cameras, speakers, sensors and charging all re-checked so nothing new breaks on the way out.

Cracked the back glass of my iphone 15 the other day, and Darshan ordered in the correct colour backing and fixed it promptly the day it arrived!

Very student-friendly pricing :) Will be back if I encounter any tech problems in the future!

Brought my MacBook in to get the battery replaced and had a fantastic experience. The service was friendly, quick, and the price was very fair. He even cleaned out the inside of the machine for me, and everything is running good as new now. Highly recommend this place for any computer repairs!

FAQ

Questions We Get Asked Every Week

Still unsure about something? Give us a call — we're happy to talk it through before you commit.

How long does a phone screen repair take?
Most iPhone and Samsung screen repairs are completed in as little as 30 minutes while you wait. Less common models, or repairs needing a part we don't hold in stock, can take longer — we always confirm the timing before you commit.
Do you offer a warranty on repairs?
Yes. Every repair is backed by our 6 months warranty period, except any liquid or physical damage. If something isn't right, bring it back and we'll put it right.
How much will my repair cost?
You get a no-obligation quote before any work starts, and we never begin a repair without your approval. We also offer a Price Match Guarantee — if you find a genuine lower like-for-like quote in Wellington, we'll match it.
Is my data safe during the repair?
Yes. We follow strict data-privacy procedures and never access personal files unless the repair specifically requires data recovery or a backup, which we only carry out with your consent.
Can you fix a water-damaged phone or laptop?
Often, yes. We offer water damage diagnostics and restoration for phones, tablets and laptops. Time matters a great deal here — the sooner you bring the device in and stop trying to charge it, the better the chance of a full recovery.
Do I need an appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome at 117 The Parade, Island Bay. Booking ahead online or by phone helps us have the right part ready so you're in and out faster.
Which parts of Wellington do you serve?
We're based in Island Bay and regularly look after customers from Newtown, Kilbirnie, Miramar, Berhampore, Brooklyn and Wellington CBD — plus the wider region.
