Dublin 7 is next door. Phibsborough to Richmond Road is a short hop across the North Circular, which makes this one of the few postcodes where waiting for the repair is genuinely the easiest option.
Mon to Sat 10 to 6
Dublin 7 takes in Phibsborough, Cabra, Stoneybatter, Broadstone, Grangegorman and Arbour Hill. If you navigate by landmarks rather than postcodes, that is the part of the city around the Mater Hospital, TU Dublin at Grangegorman, Phibsborough village and the Phoenix Park's eastern gate.
About 2 km west of the workshop. Across through Phibsborough and along the North Circular, or straight up Dorset Street. Ten minutes, and one of the shortest runs to the workshop from any postcode.
This is walking distance for parts of Phibsborough. If you are coming from Cabra or Stoneybatter there is free parking outside the workshop on Richmond Road.
Grangegorman changed this area. A large campus means a large number of laptops, and student laptops fail in predictable ways: a charging port that has been kicked at a desk, a battery that swells and lifts the trackpad, a fan choked with two years of dust that has the machine throttling to a crawl. None of those needs a new laptop and all three are routine work.
The Mater brings the other pattern. Shift workers cannot come back twice, so the useful thing is a firm price and a firm time before anything is opened, which is how every job here is quoted anyway. If a phone can be done while you wait it will be, and if it cannot we say how long rather than guessing.
Stoneybatter and Cabra bring the ordinary run of screens, batteries and ports, and a fair number of consoles, which is a repair most phone shops do not take on at all.
Students and staff at grangegorman, hospital shift workers at the mater, and the long-settled streets of stoneybatter and cabra.
Across through Phibsborough and along the North Circular, or straight up Dorset Street. Ten minutes, and one of the shortest runs to the workshop from any postcode.
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. About 2 km west of the workshop. We cover Phibsborough, Cabra, Stoneybatter, Broadstone, Grangegorman and Arbour Hill, 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.
Across through Phibsborough and along the North Circular, or straight up Dorset Street. Ten minutes, and one of the shortest runs to the workshop from any postcode. 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.
