So I smashed my phone on Saturday night (don't ask!) and I needed to get it foxed before I started…read moregetting glass splinters in my fingers. I immediately thought of the Repair Lounge down to the their catchy radio ads. First up, it's pretty easy to find, opposite the junction of Tates Avenue on the Lisburn Road. If you're driving park on one of the many side streets rather than trying to get a space on the Lisburn Road. The shop itself is minimal, you walk in and you are presented with platformed area, don't let this put you off, that's where the phone fixers sit. When I went in (about 3pm on a Monday) the two guys were noticeably busy, one on the phone and one in the middle of dissecting an iPhone but I waited patiently. Once they were free I asked how much and how long it would take to get my phone screen repaired. They then explained to me that it varied from £100 - £140 depending on the quality of the glass used for the screen. This didn't put me off as I expected it to be in that area. What did put me off was the wait - they explained that they had a huge back log of phones to repair and with Monday being delivery day I couldn't get it repaired straight away. This wait made me go somewhere else, but the experience wasn't bad at all. I understand that it's a skilled job to fix these devices and that Monday is their busiest day - especially after all the weekend smashes! Cool set up and really knowledgeable staff - I'll be back no doubt!

After having a good nosy round the 'big shops' and being shocked at the prices and still not convinced I was buying the right thing in the first place, I thought I'd try old school and went in here. The man serving me was brilliant, finding not only exactly what I needed but at half the price of the global retailer. And he had all the chat, one of the nicest things about shopping local. So if you have an ancient hoover they don't make anymore and have run out of bags or like me have random lights that blow as soon as you think of having guests, give these guys a shot- they are bound to have it.

Not too long ago, my parents were away and I was left in charge of the house on my own. After a wee…read morewhile the house needed a tidy so I bust out the old Henry the Hoover who proceeded to break, after lots of years faithful service in our house. Rather than take him to the dump, I took him down to this place just down the road and they fixed him and brought him back to life. They were friendly and polite as well as delivering a quick and inexpensive service. They are able to fix all types of hoovers - not just old ones - and can deliver the service quickly and without too much cost to you. If you want to keep your old hoover and don't want to splash out on a new one, you could definitely do worse than popping in here to see if they can help you out.

The Vacuum Hospital is a local family run business that has been established since before little…read moreold me was born so that's pre '87. They used to be located in the old Springhill Shopping Centre or "Crazy Prices" as it was affectionately known. Since its closure the Vacuum Hospital has been located to Church Street in Bangor. Despite the name they are not a one trick pony down at the Vacuum Hospital, they will dabble in all household appliances including cookers and washing machines. But they do specialize is Vacuums or Hoovers as I call them, vacuum just seems a bit American and never looks like its spelt correctly when written down. They claim to be able to repair a vacuum/Hover on the same day, a very quick turn around. They are not issuing a challenge, so do not be taking a hammer to poor wee Henry. The hold various contracts with Bangor's business's so will no doubt be very busy, but get this you don't have to drag your hover down to Church Street, they will arrange a free pick up and estimate. The Vacuum Hospital is clean and tidy on the inside and you will not have to worry bout Henry coming out with MRSA from this hospital, he will come back with an appetite for dust and carpet dirt.

Later on that day Noel phoned me to say that there was no need to upgrade any parts as I had a virus that they were able to remove for a small service charge. Not only did I have my computer back later that day but I was safe in the knowledge that I had not been ripped off ( which could have quite easily happened as I have limited knowledge of computers) and could recommend them to others. Once again I would like thank PC MediTech for their honesty and speedy service .Well Done ;-)

I have bought a couple of phone covers in here and have been really pleased with the quality. The styles of covers on offer vary from the sublime to the ridiculous! :) They also offer mobile phone repair, and phone unlocking services. For many models they can repair the phone within 30 minutes while you wait! They often have offers on, for example tempered glass hone screens for half price, or buy one case get another half price etc. This is advertised on their Facebook page and also on billboards outside the store.
