What Ottawa says

Average rating on Google
“Apple Store told me my iPhone charging port was unfixable and tried to sell me a new phone. Abobakr replaced the battery and cleaned the port in 30 minutes for a fair price. Saved me a fortune.”
“Quick and excellent service. The estimation of the problem was accurate and the price very reasonable. Highly recommend.”
“Great service by Irene — super friendly and got my Samsung screen replaced before my lunch break was over. Will be back.”
“Amazing service and a great price. Even threw in a free screen protector. These guys actually care about doing the job right.”
“Walked in for a prepaid SIM activation and walked out connected in under 10 minutes. Easy parking on Bronson too. Solid local spot.”
“Very understanding of my situation and very reasonable on the repair. Honest pricing, no upsell, work backed by a 100-day warranty. The kind of small business you want to support.”

Usually, yes. Bring it in for a free diagnostic: no fix, no fee. Common causes are a failed charging port, a swollen battery, liquid damage or a faulty power chip, and we repair all of them in-house, including micro-soldering. If it got wet, turn it off, don't charge it and don't put it in rice — here's why.
Screen, battery, charging port and camera repairs don't touch your data; nothing is wiped. A backup is still a good idea when you can. Data recovery from a dead device is a separate service, quoted after inspection.
