“Service was excellent and quick. My PS5 is as good as new.”
Themba Sithole
“A bad thunderstorm knocked power out in our street, and when it kicked back on, my Series X wouldn't turn on at all. ConsoleFix fixed the blown power board parts and saved me R10,000 on having to buy a whole new console. Super friendly service on WhatsApp.”
Anrich B.
“Both my PS5 controllers had crazy stick drift in Warzone—my gun kept aiming straight up at the sky. Upgraded both to magnetic Hall Effect sticks. The drift is 100% gone, zero deadzone needed, and courier collection in Cape Town was effortless.”
Darren V. d. M.
“Really lovely experience. Lovely staff and we were kept up to date on the progress throughout. Pretty seamless. So far, no issues with the repair and service of our PS5. Will definitely use them again.”
Jacaranda De Klerk
“My son jammed a cheap phone charger into the Switch and bent the pins inside. It wouldn't charge or turn on. Courier collected it from our home in Port Elizabeth, and 3 days later it was back working like new on our TV.”
Leanne P.
“Great service, very honest, their work is impeccable. I've been with them for 6 years. Great service, they fixed my PS4 and it's still working today, and they recently repaired my PS5.”
