Preston has more phone repair shops per square kilometre than almost anywhere we know — Preston Market, Northland, High Street, kiosks on every corner. Most race each other to the bottom on price. Here’s what nobody at those shops tells you: $79 iPhone screens that look the same in the box come out of completely different factories. One holds for years. One peels off in a fortnight.
Preston’s most-fixed device is MacBook batteries & keyboards — designers, music producers, photo editors, all on 13-inch and 16-inch Pros that get hammered daily. Half of our Preston iPhone screen work is replacing previous repairs that didn’t hold. iPad Pro screens, AirPods Pro cleaning, and Apple Watch repairs (the weekend-runner crowd through Edwardes St Reserve) round out the regulars.
From Preston you're 9 km via Plenty Road — about 15 minutes off-peak.
We’ve watched the suburb change a lot — and we’ve watched the parade of pop-up repair shops come and go even faster. Most sell on price alone and disappear inside two years, taking the warranty with them. The customer who paid a bit more for a properly-fitted screen — once — usually doesn’t go back to the $79 kiosk. They send their neighbour to us instead.
Walk in any day or get a quote online. Free diagnosis, fixed price before any work, 90-day warranty on every job. Most Preston customers drop in on their way past — about 15 minutes from home.
Went in today to get a screen protector put on my phone by Jacob. Cheap, fast, works with my fingerprint flawlessly. Great customer service. He even custom cut the screen protector to fit my phones hard cover ( so it doesn't get pushed off edges or bubble up). Highly recommend this place, will be returning for my future mobile phone needs.
Jacob was fantastic. I had struggled for days going stark raving crazy trying to get ads off my phone and Jacob took them off in the blink of an eye. I highly recommend Casemonkey for any phone issues.
Fantastic and Professional Service at CaseMonkey Uni Hill I had a great experience at CaseMonkey in Uni Hill! The team there was absolutely fantastic. I went in because my phone's charger port was giving me trouble, and they were able to assist me right away. The repair was done incredibly promptly, and the guys working were very professional and knowledgeable. They had my phone fixed in no time, and it's working perfectly now. I really appreciate their quick and efficient service. Definitely a 5-star experience! Highly recommend them for any phone repair needs.
Went in to put a screen protector on my e reader. The man thst served me was so kind and took such care with putting the screen on. We had such a good conversation, and not a bubble to be seen!
Amazing collection of cases and very affordable too. Jacob is very friendly and helpful. Put my screen guard in about 30 secs..
