Repair Services

Ok, so you broke your display? No problem, we can probably fix it. Most computers can be opened easily and parts replaced for a fraction of the price of a new computer. You can bring your own parts, or leave the shopping to us. We can source pretty much any part, new or used. "Ok, so you can fix anything, how about my intelligent washing machine?" you might ask.
