02 / Inside the workshop

Board-level work, done locally

Every Dell is opened, diagnosed and repaired on our own Perth bench — nothing shipped interstate, nothing outsourced.

03 / Procedure

How a service order runs

Four steps, documented at every stage, with a written quote before any repair begins.

  1. Lodge the machine

    Drop your Dell in or post it with your Service Tag noted. The $85 inspection is our minimum labour charge.

  2. Bench diagnosis

    A technician starts within 2–3 hours, reads any diagnostic codes, and identifies the actual fault — not the symptom.

  3. Written quote, your call

    You get the fault and the price in writing. Nothing proceeds without your approval.

  4. Repair, test, return

    Parts matched to your Service Tag, fitted, stress-tested, and returned with a workmanship warranty in writing.

Dell repair questions, answered

What Dell owners ask us most, answered straight. Anything else — call and a technician picks up.

How fast are Dell repairs at your Perth workshop?

Your Dell goes on the bench within 2–3 hours of arriving, and most common repairs — screens, batteries, keyboards, SSDs — are completed same day to 24 hours. Model-specific parts we don't stock, like a particular XPS OLED panel, generally arrive within 2–3 business days and are fitted the day they land.

What will my Dell repair cost?

The $85 inspection is our minimum labour charge and covers a genuine diagnosis plus a written quote — nothing proceeds until you approve it. As a guide: virus removal starts at $119, board-level repair at $175, liquid damage treatment at $199, keyboards at $209, thermal service at $219, batteries at $249 and screens at $379. Data recovery is quoted after the drive is assessed.

I found my Service Tag — does that help?

Enormously. The 7-character Service Tag on the base of every Dell identifies your exact configuration, which means we can order the precisely matching panel, battery or keyboard the first time. Include it in your quote request and the whole job moves faster. Can't find it? It's also in the BIOS (F2 at startup) and in Dell's SupportAssist app.

Which Dell ranges do you repair?

All of them: XPS, Inspiron, Latitude, Precision workstations, Vostro, Alienware and G-series gaming machines, plus older discontinued lines. Parts are matched against your Service Tag rather than guessed from the model name — with Dell's many internal variants per model, that matters.

Describe the fault and we'll respond the same business day with a likely cause and a price range. No obligation.
