Dublin 6W is the postcode that confuses delivery drivers and search engines equally, sitting alongside Dublin 6 rather than inside it. Terenure and Templeogue are family suburbs with an unusually strong village high street, and the devices that come from here span three generations of one household.
Mon to Sat 10 to 6
Dublin 6W takes in Terenure, Templeogue, the western side of Harold's Cross and part of Kimmage. If you navigate by landmarks rather than postcodes, that is the part of the city around Terenure village, Bushy Park and the Dodder at Templeogue.
Around 7 km south west of the workshop on Richmond Road. In through Harold's Cross and around the city, or across on the canal and north. Half an hour or so at a busy time.
It is a fair drive from 6W across the city, so if the device is not urgent the weekday collection service is usually the sensible option.
That spread matters, because a repair decision looks different depending on the phone. On a current handset, a screen or a battery is straightforward and worth doing without much thought. On something five or six years old, the honest arithmetic is the 50 per cent rule: if the repair costs more than half of what a comparable replacement would, it is usually not worth it, and we will tell you that rather than take the job.
Older iPads are the other thing this area brings in regularly. An iPad that has been the family's spare screen for years, with a cracked digitiser and a battery that no longer lasts a film. Both are repairable, both are far cheaper than a new one, and an iPad that has been opened before takes longer because the glass is bonded and previous repairs are rarely tidy.
Family suburb with a strong village high street, and a lot of households that have been in the same house for decades.
In through Harold's Cross and around the city, or across on the canal and north. Half an hour or so at a busy time.
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 7 km south west of the workshop on Richmond Road. We cover Terenure, Templeogue, the western side of Harold's Cross and part of Kimmage, 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.
In through Harold's Cross and around the city, or across on the canal and north. Half an hour or so at a busy time. 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, 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.
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.
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.
