Take the Blue Line — Leave Your Car in the Deck
The LYNX Blue Line runs from Uptown straight up the North Tryon corridor toward our end of town. Board at any Uptown station — 3rd Street, CTC/Arena, 7th Street, or 9th Street — ride toward UNC Charlotte, and hop off at the station nearest W.T. Harris Blvd. From there it's a short rideshare along Harris to our door at Town Center Business Center. Your repair is often done before the return train. ⚠ Owner: verify closest station and confirm rideshare time before publish.

Your work laptop has a help desk. Your personal MacBook — the one with your side business, your finances, your life on it — doesn't. We repair what the Apple Store quotes $700+ to replace: logic boards fixed under a microscope from $149��$300, batteries, screens, keyboards, and liquid damage (coffee counts). Free diagnostics, firm quote before work begins, data intact whenever physically possible.
The Presentation Is Due. The Drive Is Dead. Start Here.
Client files on a failed SSD, an external drive that clicks instead of mounting, two years of contacts in a phone that won't power on — we recover data in-house, from $99, with a free diagnostic first so you know the odds and the price before committing. No shipping your drive across the country, no three-week wait. If we can't recover it, you don't pay for the attempt.
Cracked at 10 AM. Fixed by Lunch.
iPhone and Samsung screens, batteries that die by 3 PM, back glass, charging ports — most done in under an hour. Drop it off, take one meeting, pick it up. From $69, with a 90-day workmanship warranty.
We also repair iPads, game consoles (modern and retro), and drones — see every service →

FAQ
Common questions from Uptown customers
Can you fix my personal MacBook if it's out of AppleCare?
Yes — that's our specialty. Out-of-warranty MacBooks are where we save people the most: board-level repairs from $149–$300 versus $600–$1,200 for a replacement board or machine, and unlike a board swap, our repair keeps your data. Free diagnostic first, always.
How fast is same-day, really?
Most phone screens and batteries take under an hour. Laptop screens, batteries, and SSD upgrades are usually same-day if you come in before mid-afternoon. Board-level work and data recovery run 2–5 business days — we'll give you an honest timeline at drop-off, not a guess.
I work Uptown and don't have a car during the day. What are my options?
Three: take the Blue Line up the Tryon corridor (board at 3rd Street, CTC/Arena, 7th Street, or 9th Street, ride toward UNC Charlotte, then a short rideshare to our door), grab a 15-minute rideshare directly, or drop off on your commute if you drive in from the north — we're open until 7 PM, so an after-work stop works too.
My external drive with client work won't mount. Should I try recovery software first?
Please don't — if the drive is failing physically, every additional minute of spinning makes recovery harder. Power it down and bring it in. Diagnostics are free, and you'll get the odds and a firm price before deciding anything.
Do you handle small business or team devices?
Yes. If your team runs on laptops and phones without an IT department, talk to us about handling your repairs — free diagnostics apply, and we'll be straight with you about repair versus replace.
What's your warranty?
Every repair is backed by a 90-day workmanship warranty covering the parts we installed and the work we performed.
