Services we do not offer:

While we try to accommodate for as many services as we can, we do not service any of the following:

  • Apple Devices - We are unable to repair/replace Apple devices due being unable to get reputable replacement parts. The suppliers we trust and use exclusively deal with PC parts, we cannot give the level of service we are praised of with Apple products.
  • Mobile Phones & Tablets - Similar to with Apple devices, there are many fake & low quality components circulating for Phones & Tablets. As a result we do not service/repair them as we cannot give the high quality service we would want to provide.
  • Consoles - Once again, we are unable to repair/service consoles and we would be unable of providing the level of service we would be happy with.
  • Printers - Due to the low cost of printers and the low availability of replacement parts, repairing printers is not worth the cost & labour to do so.
  • Monitors - The price of replacement panels are not only significantly higher than what a monitor manufacturer would pay for them, but are also extremely difficult to obtain. So it generally works out cheaper & easier to buy the exact same monitor brand new.
  • PCB Repair - We do not stock the required equipment for low-level PCB repair.
  • Small/General Electronics - We specialise in PC's & Laptops, we do not service basic electronic devices.
  • Want to double check if we service a specific item? - Contact us via live chat or over the phone on 0191 420 7700 and we can let you know if we can service your device.

Services Turnaround:

Our turnaround time varies depending on how busy we are, the type of service and the length of our repair queue.

We use a first-come-first-served repair queue. Regardless of what kind of repair it is, if it is booked in as a Standard service it goes to the end of the queue. When you pop in with your device we will give a rough turnaround time based on the factors mentioned above.

Need your PC/Laptop back quicker? We offer a Fast Track service for an additional £30 (£60 for PC Builds) which puts you at the front of the queue. We get started on it as soon as possible and aim to get it back to you as soon as we can, depending on the repair we can give you a more accurate turnaround time in-store.

As a guide our usual turnaround times are:
Standard Service: 5-7 Working Days*
Fast Track Service: 2-3 Working Days*
*Please contact us to confirm turnaround times as these change regularly and during busy periods.

'Working days' include weekdays only, Monday-Friday, and DO NOT include weekends.
