Can’t recommend these guys enough. I’m not ignorant to the workings of computers, keyboards and phones, but after a visit to these guys I know I’ve done what I can, and I can move forward with repairs, new purchases etc. with certainty I’m doing the right thing.

After hearing so many good things about this place I decided to pass by and get some advice on my «broken» phone and to buy an adapter, which was about £8. They boys behind the counter were very efficient and helpful. It did not take them long to switch my SIM cards and get my old phone working. I also got some advise on which service provider is best to use. There are lots of accessories in that shop. Sadly, I was so busy getting my own phone working that I did not look around much. However, I will definitely be back should I need help with my phone again. I also wished them good luck for their nomination on Best Scottish Retailer Award… Hope they win!

I actually think these gents should set up some sort of underground stand up comedy club in the back — they’d make a killing. This has to be the most fun i’ve had buying an iPhone cord in my life. Having recently landed from CAD, and not having the forethought to buy the proper adapters, by day three, I was in full blown panic mode. Like a time bomb, i’ve been watching that battery percentage slowing dwindle down over the days. When it finally kicked the bucket, leaving me without access to maps, a camera and most importantly, Unilocal input — I sought the closest solution with even half way ratings. This place was decently priced, quick and even slapped on an extra glass cover on the phone for a lean $ 9. But what makes them truly worthy of the five stars? The gents here are hilarious. They are over the top, genuinely funny human beings and an absolute hoot to chat with. Which is a smart business model if you think about it — I was so entertained that I happily nabbed the glass cover when suggested and would have taken a case or two, had the one I wanted not been cream(I spill coffee. Often.). They were so pleasant, that it made spending money a no brainer and I left in a better mood, with fairly priced items that didn’t make me feel ripped off after the giggling subsided. Next time I need a computer related anything, i’d go here again. Pop in and say hello, you’ll immediately understand why. Thanks for the afternoon giggle gents!

Good for iPhone repairs! The top button on my iPhone broke, meaning that I couldn’t power it off or lock it(except using a fairly clunky software workaround). I looked online and the repair is certainly quite complex, involves taking apart nearly every component of the phone and is very fiddly. I therefore opted to call in with the pros, choosing Hex based on a colleagues experience with them. I dropped my phone off with Hex when they opened, was told the price for the work and went to pick it up two hours later as agreed. It was ready and it worked. What more could I ask for? Unlike some of the other mobile repair places I’ve laid eyes on, these guys seemed to have a significant case load and have a reputation to look after. I would happily recommend them for Apple iDevice repairs.

Awesome place has so much phone stuff and computer stuff you would drool(if your nerdy like that which I am). Place will fix your phone quickly just as they did with mine, and do it for a good price. I hunted around and they seem to be the cheapest ones with the best service. I highly recommend this place for any phone or computer problems.

This shop is very good both for buying computers and related accessories, and getting any repairs done — they even repair mobile phones which is handy if you have a phone that is damaged, but you don’t want to replace. The prices here are generally pretty competitive and you will be likely to struggle to find somewhere else that can match both its range of products and prices — I certainly haven’t come across such a place. In addition you get very good customer service and the staff know what they are talking about. It’s well worth a visit especially if you have any repairs that need doing. I’m no expert on computers, but this does seem to be a good shop.
