- No appointment needed during opening hours
- Same-day service on most phones, depending on device health
Dublin 16 sits at the foot of the Dublin Mountains, and the run into Drumcondra is a genuine cross-city trip. That makes it one of the postcodes where the collection service earns its place, and one where it is worth knowing exactly what a repair costs before you commit to the journey.
Mon to Sat 10 to 6
Dublin 16 takes in Ballinteer, Knocklyon's eastern side, Rathfarnham's upper end and Stepaside's northern edge. If you navigate by landmarks rather than postcodes, that is the part of the city around Marlay Park, the Dublin Mountains foothills and Ballinteer village.
Around 10 km south of the workshop on Richmond Road. Around by the M50 and in, or the Luas to town and the train out. Around thirty-five minutes by car outside the peak.
Ring or message with the model and the fault before you drive across. Most of the time we can give you a price and a time on the spot.
Every price on this site is the price. A screen or a battery on a listed model has a number beside it, that number includes the part, the fitting, the testing and the warranty, and it does not change when you arrive. If something else turns up once the device is open, the work stops and we ring you rather than adding it to the bill.
The device mix here is family: phones handed down between siblings, tablets that have been dropped off a bunk bed, laptops used for school work and games in equal measure. The most common single job is a battery, which is also the cheapest way to make a slow, short-lived phone usable again.
Marlay Park's summer concerts add a small annual run of phones that have been in mud, in a pint, or under somebody's boot. All three are recoverable more often than people expect, and the diagnostic to find out costs nothing.
Settled family suburbs at the foot of the mountains, with long-established houses and a lot of teenagers.
Around by the M50 and in, or the Luas to town and the train out. Around thirty-five minutes by car outside the peak.
There is no charge for a diagnostic and no obligation attached to it, so a household with three or four half-broken devices can have the lot checked in one visit for nothing. Batteries are the most common answer and the cheapest: a handset that dies mid-afternoon is not worn out, it has a consumable part at the end of its life, and replacing it buys back two or three years.
Yes. Around 10 km south of the workshop on Richmond Road. We cover Ballinteer, Knocklyon's eastern side, Rathfarnham's upper end and Stepaside's northern edge, and you can either walk in to 4 Richmond Road in Drumcondra or book the weekday collection and have the device picked up and returned to your own address.
Around by the M50 and in, or the Luas to town and the train out. Around thirty-five minutes by car outside the peak. There is free parking on Richmond Road outside the workshop.
The diagnostic is free whether you walk in or send the device, and if we cannot repair it there is nothing to pay at all. Collection and return runs Monday to Friday across Dublin; ask for the current charge when you book, and it is quoted before anything is arranged.
Yes, with collection across Dublin, an invoice rather than a counter payment, and a single contact rather than a queue. There is a page for that with the details.
No. These are hardware repairs and we do not open, copy or erase anything on the device. Back it up first anyway, because any device that already has a fault can fail further while it is being worked on.
Bring it in and we do it again at no cost, for 360 days from the repair, on the part and the workmanship both. That does not cover new accidental damage, which we will always be straight with you about.
You pay nothing. No fix, no fee covers the diagnostic and the handling, so the only time you pay is when the device comes back working. If a repair turns out to cost more than the device is worth, we tell you that instead of doing it.
Yes. It makes no difference where a device came from, whether it was bought here, abroad or second hand. Bring it in.
For most screen and battery work, 15 to 45 minutes, and people wait in the shop. Anything that has to come apart further, or that we want to run for a while before handing back, we tell you the day rather than guess at an hour.
No. The diagnostic is free whether you go ahead with the repair or not, and that is true for the quick check at the counter and the longer one on the bench.
Bought a phone at imend, Drumcondra, near DCU. What could have been a difficult experience for an untechical minded person like myself was made so easy by the very helpful staff member who ensured my phone was up and running smoothly with everything working well before I left the shop.
