Come to us for repairs no Matthews-area shop handles in-house: board-level MacBook micro-soldering, PS5 HDMI port repair done same day, data recovery from dead drives, and drone repair. These are specialist services — the 20-minute drive is the trade-off for not losing your device to a depot for weeks.

Do you do MacBook board-level repairs for Matthews customers?+
Yes. We repair MacBooks at the board level in-house — liquid damage micro-soldering, failed charging circuits, power management faults. From $149 vs. $700+ at Apple or a depot send-away that takes weeks. We fix the specific failed component, not the whole board.
What is data recovery and do you really get data back?+
Data recovery is the process of reading files from storage media that won't normally mount — a failed hard drive, a corrupted SSD, an accidentally formatted card. From $99 vs. $800–$1,500 at national labs. We've recovered data from thousands of devices, including drives that other shops declared dead. Free evaluation, no recovery no fee.

Every repair is backed by our 90-day workmanship warranty. On eligible phone and tablet screens we also offer the 12-Month Screen Breakage Guarantee — crack it again within a year and we replace it free.
When should I just go to a local shop instead?+
For a standard iPhone screen swap or a common Android battery, a local Matthews shop is a perfectly reasonable choice and saves you the drive. Come to us for the specialist work — board-level faults, data recovery, PS5 HDMI, drone repair, custom PC builds — anything that requires in-house micro-soldering or specialist tools no local shop has.
