Is my computer worth repairing?
Good question! And we are here to help you decide.
​
We will always give you honest advice on whether an item is, in our opinion, worth repairing. Clearly, this needs to be a discussion based on your personal needs. Sometimes this advice can be given based on the model number and thus done without seeing the unit. However, most of the time, this will be done after our free diagnostic.
What payment methods do you accept?
We currently accept All major credit and debit cards, PayPal, bank transfer. Apple Pay and Google Pay.
