They have a shop on Midland Raod just off Old Market and also on Gloucester Road in Bishopston. When my last computer broke down I used these guys for a bit f advice. Unfortunately there was no chance of repairing it, but they were very helpful and gave a number of other options to proceed with, including offering me their stock of computers to choose from. If you are having problems, if its a software issue they'll be able to fix it remotely, by gaining access to your computer and then fixing the problem from their office (obviously you have to give consent for this and they'll stay on the phone with you whilst they're fixing it). I reckon that's a really good idea and saves on a lot of cost (both for the customer and the company). Whilst this can help sort out the issue, if it's a hardware roblem then they'll have to attend your house or take the computer away for repair. Either way, their an impressive small outfit and worth a try.

I was impressed with the service from the guys in abm earlier this year when I was trying to sort…read moreout my screen which had died. I wasn't sure but thought it was probably the special power adaptor that had died. The other computer shop in Trowbridge was quite happy to sell me a replacement (even though they weren't sure it was the correct one). The guys in abm advised me that it might not be the adaptor at all, but could be the connector in my screen. They didn't try to sell me a new flash screen, but as I had already explained I was looking to replace my pc in a year or two, they suggested buying a second hand screen. After a little negotiation, I got a very good second hand screen for £10 (much less than the cost of the adaptor) and they even carried it to the car for me!

I'm glad I don't inhabit Sim Tech World, and instead lead a rustic existence, but I have had reason…read moreof late to thank my lucky stars that shops like Sim Tech World exist. Like so many before me, I managed to drop my iPhone several times before the screen ultimately smashed. It was of course, only a matter of time before this was inevitably going to happen... but did I think to take out insurance to protect myself in this eventuality? Well, yes I did... But whether I got round to actually doing it is an entirely different matter! So, with the exorbitant cost of getting Apple to fix it for me, I began a quest that lasted well over a month to find a indie mobile phone shop like Sim Tech World that would do it cheaper. It ultimately cost a staggering £80.00 to get the screen replaced, but I had, in the meantime, damaged the LCD screen, making the job more expensive, (well, it was actually my neighbours cat jumping directly onto the broken screen in an attempt to catch a moth that put paid to the LCD screen in reality...) I didn't end up using Sim Tech World, but it certainly made me aware of their existence. They are seemingly a tight little business, that specialises in mobiles and home computing, including PC and Apple laptops, games consoles etc, as well as digital cameras; essentially all of your portable electronics that you can bring into the shop for attention, (thy don't do home visits). They also call themselves an 'entertainment exchange', which, as the name suggests, means that they sell second user kit as well.

There expertise can help fix mobile phone faults, problems with ipods, ipads, apple products, xbox 360s, playstations, PC's and laptops. A very useful technical fix is there mobile phone unlocking service. The Sim Tek people aim to fix the phone while you wait rather than the 28 day service most high street stores offer. If you're in a pinch and need something fixed quickly without the extra cost of sending it away to be looked at Sim Tek offer the best service around. The shop itself is very small and over cluttered, which is to be expected of a electronic repair shop the outside advertises all the different services they perform and that leaves little room to let light in, so it's a bit dingy inside.

They do repairs and other services which I recommend because the staff there are really knowledgeable. Admittedly, I only went in there for a few CDs but I was very impressed with the store.

I've all the technology I need and it's fantastic kit. I also grumble about poor service and what I see as their staff being unhelpful especially in the Orlando store where the 'rules' on selling new phones were so bizarre in 2022 they could not sell me the new phone I wanted and had near $2000 to give them. I mean they overturned precisely the maxim of what retail is about - the art of selling goods that don't come back to customers that do. I've an old Apple iPhone that I will upgrade this winter in the UK (for the first time ever) but it works perfectly well, it serves me well and I no longer need state of the art sophistication but compromise is sensible as the pace of technological change is remarkable - a sophisticated computer in your pocket. The two issues I had are now one; that the battery now runs down quite quickly. The second was powering up the phone which this store resolved lickety-split.

Upon arriving I must admit I didn't know that I was meant to "check in" in the middle of the store. But a member of staff was kind enough to sign me in at the Genius Bar anyway. Within ten minutes my iPhone was booked in and we were given a waiting time of 2 hours so went off shopping. Came back 2 hours later and my phone was handed back to me good as new. Was all that simple even on such a busy Saturday running up to Christmas. Possibly the best custom service I've ever received.

The staff are very eager to please although, not meaning to be rude, some of them slightly live up to the faux-pas-full, uncomfortable speech that plagues the film-nerd stereotype. One of my friends got hopelessly stuck between two pillars. Clearly feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed she wasn't helped by his comment 'well at least you tried to get through'. Still we should not judge an computer repair man on his social grace, we should judge him on his ability to fix a computer. That is exactly what they are able to do the vast majority of the time, at no extra cost to the student so the place is hard to fault. N.B. Turn up at 2.00 on the dot to avoid a long wait.

The lovely people running this place do their very best to shift their stock. It's a fairly run of the mill charity shop, differing from most others in that its got a city centre location. They've got the usual array of tired looking vinyl, a bookcase of old thrillers and various odds and ends dug out of people's attics. The prices are designed to get the stuff off the shelves. Somewhere to come if you're stuck for something to read or are just finding the rest of Broadmead a bit abrasive and overpriced.
