Customer Reviews
The guy in shop identified that the adapter to my Nintendo Switch was faulty in less than a minute, and here was ready to pay £££ to get it fixed. Dude didn't even charge me. Top guy! Top service!
Abu-Bakr Mudawi
Very impressed by customer service and work done to my Nintendo switch lite.
The process was clear and easy throughout and certainly worth the cost compared to dodgy repair places or forking out for new systems. These are the good guys, would recommend.
Evie Honer
Very efficient repair of my son’s Nintendo Switch charging port. Friendly service, the guy was upfront about explaining that it might also need another part replacing and how much that would cost. Switch now working perfectly and my son is very happy.
Side note: Parking on Burford Road is a bit of a nightmare, don’t do what I did and think you can just nip into the car park of Buzz Bingo round the corner for 5 mins - their minimum parking charge is £10 for 2 hours!
Becky Derham
Dropped off my Nintendo switch to repair as there was an issue with the charging port. They fixed it and picked up next day. Great communication, professional and smooth process. Many thanks Chris.
May Nguyen
Dropped a Nintendo Switch off at 3pm. Received a call at 6pm telling me it was ready for collection. Collected it the following day. The engineer gave me a walkthrough of the repair and demonstrated the machine working. Paid the agreed price. Perfect. Many thanks.
Ken Reece
Excellent service. Got my fan in my Nintendo Switch replaced same day. Clear and transparent costs and great communication. Will definitely use again if I have any repair needs. Worth the trip.
Sebastian Junemann
Excellent service here. These guys have all 5 star reviews for a reason. Repaired my daughters Nintendo Switch using the next day service for a fair price. Would not hesitate recommending them.
Spencer Larkins
Excellent service, I needed to replace a sd card reader on my nintendo switch. Very quick service, was offered next day service as standard. Wouldn't hesitate to use again. Very competitive rates.
Maria Robertson
Recently brought my Nintendo Switch in for a charging port replacement after my daughter damaged it with a wrong cable. From the start it was very easy dealing with this this business, received a quick response to my enquiry, arranged a date and was sent a reminder text including details of the address and my time slot. The service itself was prompt with a quick turnaround, about 90 mins so enough time for a quick visit to the Stratford shopping centre. Nintendo Switch since has worked fine and charged without issue, hopefully it will continue to do so.
Highly recommend if you need your console repaired with a quick turnaround. Cost was £69.

Very quick turnaround. Fixed my son's Nintendo console in a day. Easy walk from Stratford tube. Good comms and follow up text to check all was OK. Absolutely recommend.

Fantastic service from start to finish. I called in to see if coving had impacted the service but Chris said he was still taking appointments and I got same day service for my Nintendo Switch.
I arrived at 5pm with my Nintendo Switch with a charging issue and Chris suggested that it could be the port, battery or board and that he'd find out I'm about an hour or so.
I went for a walk and 90 mins later I got a call and it was already fixed.
Prices are fair for such a good and fast service.

Great service! I Gave Chris my nintendo switch to replace the sd card reader and he fixed it within an hour.
Micah Brown
Had a Nintendo Switch with a loud, grinding sound coming from the fan vent.
After a short call to Chris @ Console Repair I was able to book a same day slot to drop off my Switch console and pick it up only 90 minutes later.
Console Repair offered a COVID safe service, quickly and efficiently completed with a guarantee at a reasonable price.
A+ service I'd recommend and definitely use again!
Darren
Very responsive and professional service provided by Chris. We brought in my son’s Nintendo Switch that was fixed within two hours and with very reasonable price. We looked into going through Nintendo’s official repair service route but I’m very grad we visited Console Repair London whose service was much quicker and probably cheaper.
