Dublin 6 packs more people into a small area than almost anywhere else in the city, and Rathmines in particular is flats above shops: young renters, students, people between houses. Phones take more of a beating in that life than they do in a quiet suburb.
Mon to Sat 10 to 6
Dublin 6 takes in Rathmines, Ranelagh, Rathgar, Milltown and the northern end of Harold's Cross. If you navigate by landmarks rather than postcodes, that is the part of the city around Rathmines town hall and its dome, Ranelagh village and the Grand Canal at Charlemont.
Around 6 km south of the workshop on Richmond Road. Through town and north over the river, or the Luas Green Line to the city and the train out to Drumcondra. Around twenty-five minutes driving.
If driving across the city is not appealing, the courier collection covers Dublin 6 on weekdays and the device comes back to the same address.
The most common job from this side of the city is a screen, and the most common question with it is whether to take the cheaper option. It is worth understanding what the difference actually is. A cheap aftermarket panel is usually dimmer, often loses touch sensitivity at the edges within months, and on an iPhone it can cost you True Tone. The premium tier costs more up front and lasts. We quote both, explain which is which, and let you choose rather than deciding for you.
The second most common is a phone that has been in a drink. That is not the same repair as one that has been in clean water: sugar and acid do more damage than water alone, and they keep doing it. If it happened last night and the phone is in a bag of rice, take it out of the rice and bring it in. Rice does nothing except waste the hours that matter.
A dense mix of rented flats, students, and long-established family homes, with a high street in rathmines that never empties.
Through town and north over the river, or the Luas Green Line to the city and the train out to Drumcondra. Around twenty-five minutes driving.
The diagnostic is free and it is a real one: the device is opened and looked at, not glanced at across a counter. If the repair costs more than half of what a comparable replacement would, we say so and charge nothing. If you are about to buy a second-hand handset, bring it in first and we will check the IMEI, the battery health and whether the screen has already been replaced.
Yes. Around 6 km south of the workshop on Richmond Road. We cover Rathmines, Ranelagh, Rathgar, Milltown and the northern end of Harold's Cross, 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.
Through town and north over the river, or the Luas Green Line to the city and the train out to Drumcondra. Around twenty-five minutes driving. 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.
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.
For common faults on common models, yes, and the price is on the page you are reading. For anything with no clear symptom, liquid damage especially, nobody can price it honestly without opening it, so we do that for free first.
Card or cash at the counter when you collect. You get a firm price before any work starts.
Yes, anywhere in Dublin, Monday to Friday. Tell us where you are and we arrange a time. Outside Dublin we are not set up for collection, so the device would need to come to the shop.
That depends on what the device is worth and what the repair costs, and we will tell you honestly when the sums do not work. Turning away a job we could have charged for is the reason people come back.
4 Richmond Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 3, D03 FX52, a few minutes from Drumcondra train station and on several bus routes into the city. There is parking on the road outside.
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.
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.
