Visiting a store
Do you take appointments?
No appointments are needed. We do all our repairs on a walk-in basis at our Redmond, Issaquah and Bothell stores.
How do I find your stores?
We have stores in Redmond, Bothell and Issaquah, each open Monday–Saturday 10–8 and Sunday 11–6. Our stores page has Google directions and each store’s phone number.
How long will my repair take?
Many common phone repairs are done in about an hour. Board work, data recovery, unusual parts and complex diagnostics take longer — we’ll tell you what to expect after the inspection.
Can I mail my device in?
Yes — all three stores accept mail-in repairs. Use sturdy packaging and tracked shipping, keep the tracking record, and contact the store before sending a damaged battery. The store confirms intake, assessment, approval and return shipping for eligible devices.
Repairs & parts
Can you fix my phone or tablet, and is it worth it?
Yes, we can repair most phones and tablets. Repairs are definitely cost-effective, as new flagship phones can cost upwards of $1,200.
Do you use OEM parts?
Yes, in many cases we offer OEM parts. Aftermarket parts are more readily available and generally have the same quality as OEM, and we back all our parts — OEM and aftermarket — with a lifetime warranty (except for physical and water damage).
Can I bring my own parts?
Unfortunately, we don’t usually install customer-supplied parts, because we can’t offer a warranty on them.
Do you clean charging ports?
Yes — we clean charging ports for free. If the port turns out to be damaged, we’ll show you the repair options first.
I dropped my device in water. Can you fix it?
We can repair some water-damaged devices, but our primary purpose is to help you recover your data. Water-damaged devices face micro-corrosion, which is difficult to mitigate. Power the device off, don’t charge it, and bring it to us as soon as possible.
Warranty & pricing
Do you offer a warranty on your repairs?
We offer a lifetime warranty against defects on our repairs, covering replacement parts and installation (except for physical and water damage).
Will I know the cost before you repair it?
Yes. The initial inspection is free for many cases. If advanced diagnostics need a fee, or if the price changes after inspection, we ask for your approval before continuing.
Game consoles
Which console problems do you repair?
We work on PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo systems, including HDMI ports, power faults, overheating, disc drives, charging ports and selected controller issues.
Can HDMI issues be a sign of a bigger problem with my device?
Yes. HDMI issues can point to bigger problems, such as port damage, GPU or motherboard faults, or software and driver errors. If the problem keeps coming back, it needs a professional diagnosis.
How do you make sure an HDMI repair lasts?
We use high-quality parts and tools and proven techniques, so each HDMI repair is done to a high standard — and our repairs come with a warranty for peace of mind.
What does the custom SSD do in an Xbox Series console?
The custom-designed SSD in the Xbox Series X and S cuts loading times, improves game performance and gives faster access to game data. When it develops a fault, startup, loading and overall performance can suffer — bring the console in for a diagnosis.
Data recovery
Can you recover deleted or inaccessible files?
We assess phones, computers, hard drives, SSDs, USB drives, memory cards and some RAID systems. Success depends on the type and extent of damage, so every case starts with a free evaluation.
How long does data recovery take?
Generally 2–5 days, depending on the problem. Once a technician has diagnosed it, you’ll get a better estimate.
Buy, sell & recycle
Do you buy used devices?
Yes, we do! Bring your device in for a free evaluation.
Do you accept e-waste?
We offer free recycling of small electronics that fit in our recycling bins. Larger items can be taken for free to RE-PC or Best Buy.
