Have you ever needed to have your video game console repaired in Vancouver? Where did you go? (self.vancouver)

I am considering having an extra switch that I have repaired but I am avoiding it because I already had issues in the past when I needed technical support for other things. Nintendo support isn't an option because they will replace it.

Could you share your experience when having services like these done here in Van and how everything went?

Thanks fellow lemmins!

Not a game console, but I had a PC hard drive repaired at Sortek Electronics in North Vancouver repaired a couple years ago and was super happy with how he ran his business.

I went in with My Big Idea and the owner took a closer look at what had failed and proposed a different repair that required less labour and was less likely to fail. I think I had it back in 2 days.

If you want someone competent, I'd for sure give them a call and inquire to see if they deal with Switches. I also had the feeling that wouldn't attempt a repair on anything they weren't confident they could fix. That was important in my case because my failed hard drive was the sole backup of a bunch of precious old photos.
