A & J Games does not repair cellphone screens. Yelp's AI automatically sent an RFP to them when I was looking for an authorized Samsung repair shop. A waste of both parties' time and energy. They were kind enough to reply that they do not provide the service I required. It was appreciated but I wasn't looking for them specifically. read more

Great experience at A&J Games. I brought in my PS5 controller because the X button wasn't responding consistently. They diagnosed and fixed it for $40, and now it works like new. Quick, straightforward service and totally worth it. Thanks again! read more

I've been aware of this store for essentially half of my life at this point, and been in periodically to check out the selection of modern and retro games as well as various accessories. However, I recently, by my own idiocy, damaged my condenser microphone, detaching the usb port from the motherboard. Most places quoted me a price higher than I paid for the mic, but A&J quoted me an exceedingly fair price and fixed it to full working order. They are well known for their quality (and thus are busy) so it may take a week or more, but you can expect honesty, quality work, and reasonable prices that make it all worth it. Go patronize this store not just for your current and past video game and collectible needs, but also for any repairs or other servicing needs you may encounter for hardware. Great folks, and an institution in the community. read more

I brought in my Sega Genesis model 1 that needed audio repair. Chris was able to identify the problem before even looking at the unit and fixed what another store had botched at no extra charge! The audio is flawless now and kid me couldn't be happier! I'm gonna keep the service sticker cuz its a mark that it's been maintained by one the best techs around. I really appreciate it, Chris. read more

I brought in a Halo Special Edition Xbox to be repaired so that I could sell it. They charged me $100 and confirmed it was working. I sold it, the person who bought it said it wasn't reading discs and since he lives close to the store he brought it in and they apparently fixed it again. It still didn't work so I ended up having to refund and take the return. I brought it back in to see if I could get some kind of refund or credit since I now had to list it for parts, and I was told the warranty is expired and he would give me $50 for it. So essentially, I would be paying him to give him my Xbox. read more

First off, this is not a review by a customer of A&J games, but the girlfriend of a customer of A&J games (no affiliation to Girlfriend Reviews.. just a fan!) I am an amateur gamer, I had Super Nintendo, N64 and PS3 as a kid, but I'm by no means an expert in all things retro gaming. That's where my boyfriend comes in. He LOVES retro games and gaming systems, so when he discovered the top screen was cracked on his Nintendo DS we went on a mission to have it repaired. A&J Games is like a Time Machine to the past, filled with Atari games, game boy, old consoles I didn't recognize, and so much more. If you're looking for something in retro gaming, they probably have one (or know how to get it). The store is PACKED with merchandise. It was extremely cluttered, which would stress me out if I were at home, but added to the charm and whimsy of the store. The two employees we encountered were helpful and full of knowledge on how to repair the broken DS and anything else you wanted to ask them. Prices seemed a little steep, they quoted us $100 to repair the DS screen. I don't doubt that the parts and labor are worth close to that, however, we could find DS's for sale on eBay for $85. TLDR: quirky, cluttered store filled with hidden gems. Definitely check it out if you're on the hunt for something in the retro gaming world. read more

I took my PS5 in for service because it kept shutting down after about an hour of use. I dropped it off on Tuesday and picked it up Saturday morning. The service was excellent, and my system has been running perfectly since. Would recommend! read more

10/10, 1000 stars! Amazing wonderful. Fixed my new 3DS touch screen and managed to get my GBA SP charging fixed. read more

Honestly the store is a blast from the past. I loved it. I brought in 2 ps5 controllers with stick drift and got them back next day. Im using now and they work just fine now. Ill be coming back for sure read more

This place is one of the only quality game console repair shops in LA County. It's a little on the pricey side, depending on the repair, but you pay for expertise and good work. They fixed my Xbox Series X up perfectly after it had kind of a strange problem. I also appreciated that they said they wouldn't charge me a diagnostics fee if there was a problem that they couldn't fix. It also took them a weekend to fix it, which all things considered is not much time at all. They said they could do it in a weekend and indeed it was done in a weekend. Also a note for any potential customers that the tech who fixes consoles only comes in on weekends and some Mondays, so I'm to understand (just so you can plan accordingly). Only reason it got a 4 star vs 5 star review is because the brick and mortar shop itself is extremely cluttered. Other than that, anytime my Xbox is having any issues, they are going to be my first stop. I highly recommend this shop for console gamers who need console repairs that don't want to pay Geek Squad prices and want to support a local business. read more

The experience the was awesome! If you love vintage items, then you might be able to find something you're looking for! Very kind and knowledgeable! Got metal gear solid and COD4 for a great deal for PS3. read more

Brought in my son's PS5 and they fixed the HDMI problem and found more problems... fixed them too!! These guys save the day and were even able to fix it same day. We won't go anywhere else. read more

Got me right, check out their store it's sweet. Will definitely come back if I have any other electronics issues

been here a few times over the years and they always got whatever i need and are super helpful.

My PS5 controller had a broken left stick, and I brought it to A & J Games for repair. They did an amazing job -- it works perfectly now! The staff was very polite, professional, and friendly. I'm really happy with the service and would definitely come back if I need any other repairs. read more

These guys are the real deal! Just brought back 2 scuff controllers with 2 different issues. Stick drift and a broken button. Tested both and it's as if I bought them brand new. Thank you!! read more

Just got my Game Boy Advance SP fixed here and had a great experience. They made sure I exhausted all avenues that were the cheapest before diving in and fixing it themselves. I had two bad boards and they fixed one and bought the other one for credit. Was a surprisingly quick one day turnaround. You can tell this shop is passionate about gaming and it shows. Thanks A & J!! read more

I haven't been here since the 90s, but this was my go to after school spot when I was at Palms Middle school, back when it was on Overland. Used to spend hours in there when MK 2 came out. Next time I'm in LA I'm stopping by. read more

Gary is awesome, the store is phenomenal, I just got a ps3 there and can't wait to go back! Thank you so much A & J Games!!!

My PS5 was overheating so I brought it in to A&J on Sunday. They had it back to me Monday afternoon. When I took it home I had the same issue so I called them back about it. They said I could bring it back in that day even though they were about to close. I did and they had it fixed within 10 minutes and it's working great now! Really appreciated the pride in their work to make sure it was fully fixed when I called back with the issue popping up again. Go support this local business! read more

went in to get a disc repaired walked out with a working disc and three games i've been looking for. great service, great prices, going back after the holidays. read more

I needed both sets of vibrator rumbles soldered back to my PS3 controller's circuit board, this was done in 5 minutes. I went back another time for a repair on my N64's reset button and help removing a stripped screw from an SNES controller. I was able to pick up the following day. They are very knowledgeable and offer great prices for repairs. read more

Great work on my Nintendo switch, game boy sp, Xbox 360, 3DS XL, and SNES. Lost points on estimate time of completion, but I understand that I'm paying for their expertise and knowledge. If you're patient with them, they will treat you like family. Cost was a little high, but once again, paid for their knowledge and experience to get the job done correctly. read more

This is my favorite game store in the area, not only for their inventory which has a lot more interesting items than others I've seen, but they also have great service. The people are very friendly and easy to talk to for game recommendations, helping you test your console or games, and repair services. I had a sega CD model 1 that was having audio issues and a non working disc drive. The store was able to recap the console, fix the disc drive and repair the sound chip so that my console works great. With the new capacitors added I have less worry about it breaking while playing it. read more

brought PS5 in and told them it had no power, they said probably the power supply and quoted me 300. Told them I figured that was the issue and already had a guy quote me for less in Gardena. Owner then offers to keep the ps5 and diagnose for free, saying maybe it'll be something else and only 160 to fix. Says he'll call me back later that day or tomorrow, but 5 days later I have to call him and the tech still hasn't even looked at it. pretty sure this guy got upset at me for price shopping and tried to strong hand me into being impatient and paying him instead. lame spot imo. Edit: can add liar to this after the owners response. There are MUCH cheaper and faster options out there, maybe pride yourself a little more. read more

Amazing service dropped off my PlayStation five for an HDMI replacement/fix. They had it done within two days super easy and a reasonable price. read more

I think the one-star reviews called A&J a dump are ridiculous. I love this store. I feel like I'm in a time capsule when I go there and the smell of all the old plastic consoles and game cases is nostalgic. The store may look unorganized but the owner keeps organized records and knows everything that's in that store. There are boxes of random games that are fun to go through if they don't have the exact title you're looking for on the shelves. The owner Gary is really nice and easy to work with. If you don't like the price they offer, you could try asking them to lower it or just go somewhere else, but don't write an angry review. These are really video game enthusiasts and real "people" people trying to preserve the wonderful history and hobby of what is now "retro" gaming. Always a good time. Thanks Gary! read more

Great little hole in the wall that I stumbled upon with some friends and we're all game collectors. Everyone in the store was super knowledgeable about all the games/consoles and were very helpful in getting us awesome games for great prices. And now that I know they do repairs, it might be my shop to get some of my old consoles fixed. Super glad I found it. read more

I went to a & j games to fix my broken Nintendo virtual boy. not only were they the only store in all of Los Angeles county able to fix it, but they did so incredibly quick and for a fantastic price. Gary runs the place and he couldn't be nicer/more efficient. beyond the repair it's the best vintage game store in la with an amazing inventory and massive collection of video games, consoles, figurines and so much more! 10/10 you have to go, hidden gem!!! read more

This place has been around for decades and that's because they love all things in the gaming culture. Gary who runs the place is super nice and has aided me in fixing my original FAT PS3 and more recently my Panasonic 3DO. Have also found great deals on old games that I haven't thought about for years. Don't sleep on this little hole in the wall gem if you're in to retro gaming! read more
