Frequently asked
Where's the nearest proper PS5 repair to Preston?
Preston has plenty of phone shops, but for HDMI port replacement, 3-beep UART fixes and board-level no-power diagnosis, most won't do the actual micro-soldering. Our Southport workshop does it all in-house, around 30 minutes down the A59 through Penwortham. A short run for a real repair versus posting your console away for two weeks.
How long is the drive from Preston?
About 30 minutes for 14 miles on the fastest route — south on the A59 through Penwortham and Longton, continuing towards Tarleton and Hesketh Bank, then onto Southport New Road into Banks. Free parking directly outside the workshop.
Is it worth the drive from Preston for a console repair?
For a genuine in-house repair with fixed prices and a 6-month warranty, yes. We regularly get customers from Preston and further who'd rather drive 30 minutes to a real workshop than post a console off and wait two weeks with no idea who's touching it. Diagnosis is free and same-day on common jobs before 2pm.
Got an Xbox as well?
We work on Xbox consoles from Preston just the same — HDMI ports, overheating, disc drives, no-power. Different bench, same engineer.
