    I have mixed feelings about mactivate. They're located in a far off industrial park in Blanchardstown, but they do offer a courier service for €15 each way for Dublin and €20 each way for the rest of the country. If you do take advantage of the courier service you are at the mercy of the service and it's impossible to do same day pick up normally unless you ring the office as soon as it opens. After waiting a long time for my computer to be returned and numerous phone calls on my part asking what progress had been made I was finally informed that my computer was fixed, but alas the courier had already left and I wouldn't be able to get my computer for another 4 days as it was a bank holiday weekend. I decided I'd waited long enough to get my computer and decided to take a taxi and ended up spending €50 on the return trip, as it was really in the middle of nowhere. That said I've also dealt with them on other occasions and the service was much quicker and in one case they even brought me a new power cord within the same 24 hour period. They fix all kinds of apple products including ipods and if you ring the Apple service line it's always the first company they recommend as a authorised service provider, and thus everything is covered under your warranty at no cost to you.

    The repair cost is also reasonable and you are getting genuine Apple parts, with warranty.

    I had my phone couriered from my work place to express tech get my battery fixed. The battery in my…read moreiPhone 7 was completely draining in less than an hour no matter what I did. They repaired it within a few hours and brought it back to me at work the same day. I spoke to an employee on the phone the day before I had the courier come pick up my phone for them to repair it. The guy on the phone was friendly and helpful. I wanted to see how the phone worked for awhile after repair. And about a month later it has been great and the battery is like new. The only odd thing that happened in the first few days after repair was that the screen wouldn't respond to touch. The volume, lock and home button worked but the screen was on and wouldn't respond to touch. I did a few hard resets and it would go back to normal and hasn't happened since, but it was a little nerve wrecking at first. Other than that I would return here for other repairs.

    AVOID AVOID AVOID…read more Do not trust this place with your phone repairs. I brought my iPhone 16 Pro in for a screen replacement, which cost €250. A few weeks later, the screen shattered from a fall of less than a meter - onto a wooden floor - with a protective case on. I returned and was charged another €200 for a second replacement. This time, they added a screen protector - something they should have done in the first place. Not long after, a blue inky patch appeared on the top left of the screen and gradually spread, making the phone completely unusable. Crucially, the phone had not been dropped, hit, or damaged in any way after the second repair. When I went back, they made me wait over an hour while the phone was supposedly being "assessed" (it just sat untouched on a desk). Eventually, I was told I'd need another new screen--and that it wasn't their fault after spending EU550 with them on two screens. Ended up getting it fixed properly by another provider for €150. Bottom line: Terrible customer service, poor-quality parts, and you'll find better prices and reliability elsewhere. Avoid ExpressTech at all costs.
