Dublin 8 has changed faster than any other postcode in the city, and the device mix has changed with it: new apartment blocks around Portobello and Rialto beside streets in the Liberties where the same families have been for generations.
Mon to Sat 10 to 6
Dublin 8 takes in The Liberties, Kilmainham, Inchicore, Portobello, Rialto, Dolphin's Barn and Islandbridge. If you navigate by landmarks rather than postcodes, that is the part of the city around St James's Hospital, the Guinness Storehouse, Kilmainham Gaol and the Grand Canal at Portobello.
Around 4 km south west of the workshop on Richmond Road. Along the quays and north over the river, or through town. Around twenty minutes.
If you are working on site and cannot get across the city, the weekday collection covers Dublin 8 and the device comes back to the same address.
A lot of the work from here is trade. Painters, electricians, delivery drivers and small builders whose phone is the business, and for whom a day without it costs real money. That is the job we treat as urgent: bring it in, get a price in minutes, and in most cases have it back inside the hour. If it cannot be done that fast, we say so before you leave rather than after.
St James's adds the laptop and tablet side. Old machines being kept alive for another year, which is an entirely reasonable thing to want. An SSD in place of a failing hard drive, a fresh install, a battery: three cheap parts that between them make a six-year-old laptop usable again.
Water damage turns up here more than the average too, and the same rule applies as everywhere else: do not charge it, do not put it in rice, and get it in quickly. The clock on a wet board is measured in hours, not days.
A fast-changing mix of old liberties streets, new apartment blocks, students at st james's and a lot of small trades.
Along the quays and north over the river, or through town. Around twenty minutes.
For trades and delivery work the phone is the job, and a day without it costs real money. Screens and batteries on most handsets are 15 to 45 minutes, and if yours cannot be done that fast we tell you before you leave rather than after. Devices that live in a vehicle cradle take a particular beating: worn charging ports, sun-cooked screens and heat-swollen batteries are all routine work.
Yes. Around 4 km south west of the workshop on Richmond Road. We cover The Liberties, Kilmainham, Inchicore, Portobello, Rialto, Dolphin's Barn and Islandbridge, 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.
Along the quays and north over the river, or through town. Around twenty minutes. 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.
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.
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.
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.
