Common Questions
Kannapolis FAQ
Kannapolis has repair shops closer to me. Why drive to you?
For a basic screen swap, a nearby shop is a reasonable choice. Come to us for what they don't do: board-level micro-soldering, data recovery from dead devices, retro console repair, and second opinions on devices declared dead. And if you commute down I-85, we're not a drive at all — we're on your way.
How does commuter drop-off work?
No appointment needed. Pull off at Exit 45, drop the device in about five minutes, and we'll text you updates. Most same-day repairs are ready before your evening drive; anything bigger, we'll give you an honest timeline up front.
Do you really fix old consoles like NES and Sega Genesis?
Yes — it's one of our specialties. Cartridge readers, power supplies, corroded battery compartments, controller ports, AV output. If it played games in the '80s, '90s, or 2000s, we can usually bring it back.
What does a diagnostic cost?
Nothing. We diagnose free, quote you a firm price, and only start when you approve. If we can't fix it, you don't pay for the repair.
My phone won't turn on and my photos aren't backed up. Is there hope?
Usually, yes. Your photos live on the phone's board, and we do board-level data recovery in-house — even from phones that are beyond saving as phones. Don't let anyone replace the board or attempt a risky repair first; bring it to us as-is.
How long is the drive from Kannapolis?
About 20–25 minutes down I-85 to Exit 45 — or zero extra minutes if you already commute toward Charlotte.
