I hired Buzztime Electronics to help my neighbour Joe who is 90 years old. He had an old computer with a small hard drive storage with less than 350mb memory free memory. Joe couldn’t print anything and had issues saving any documents. Michael from buzztime came home and picked up the computer. They backed up all the contents before upgrading the storage. Michael came back and connected the computer the internet and printer and minimised the change for Joe. It was a good experience and I will use them again.Posted on Google![]()

Had to get the keyboard of my laptop replaced, being able to hold onto my laptop while the replacement part was ordered in after placing my deposit was incredibly helpful, the repair was really quick, and the overall result has been great. Michael was very helpful and I will definitely be coming back for any future repairsPosted on Google![]()

I had an amazing experience at Buzztime Electronics! My iPhone 11 screen was completely smashed and they fixed it in just 30 minutes. The service was super quick, professional, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. My phone is working perfectly again, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I’d definitely recommend Buzztime Electronics to anyone who needs fast and reliable phone repairs—they really know what they’re doing! screen saver was also smashed and they do what other competitors do in half the time and much less on the price.Manager was really helpful and understanding of the situationPosted on Google![]()
