No car? No South End parking saga.
One Train. No Car. No South End Parking Saga.
The Blue Line runs right through your neighborhood — board at Carson, Bland Street, East/West Blvd, New Bern, or Scaleybark and ride north toward UNC Charlotte, no transfer needed. Hop off at the station nearest W.T. Harris Blvd, then it's a short rideshare along Harris to our door. About 45 minutes door to door — and most phone repairs are finished before the train back. ⚠ Owner: verify the closest station name and confirm rideshare time before publish.

Front screen from $69, and yes, we do back glass properly — not the “buy a case and forget it” answer you got elsewhere. Batteries that die mid-happy-hour, charging ports, cameras. Most done in under an hour, all backed by our 90-day workmanship warranty.
We Take Your Setup as Seriously as You Do
PS5 HDMI ports repaired at board level (not shipped away for three weeks), Switch charge ports, controller drift, overheating fixes — and if you're ready to stop gaming on a laptop, we build custom PCs to your budget and parts list. We'll also upgrade what you've got: GPU, SSD, cooling, the works. Retro gear too, if the N64 made the move with you.
Personal MacBook Down? That's Us.
Your work laptop has a help desk; your personal one has us. Board-level repairs from $149–$300 for machines the Apple Store quotes $700+ to fix, liquid damage (a spilled beer counts), batteries, screens — plus in-house data recovery from $99 if the files matter more than the machine. Free diagnostics, and if we can't fix it, you don't pay.
