All of our locations have proprietary state-of-the-art disc repair equipment. These are not just some fancy disc buffer! These machines quite literally “wet sand” the scratches out of discs similar to how scratches can be sanded out of a car’s paint job. In most cases, disc repair should take no longer than 7 minutes a disc.
No appointment needed. No scheduling required. Just walk right in the store!
We also guarantee all of our service a minimum of 90 days!

As long as your disc does not have deep scratches or cracks, we can run it through our disc repair equipment. More about our disc repair service is explained further above on this page.
Supported diameters: Standard size (120mm) and Mini size (80mm)*
Supported damage: Scuffing and scratches
Supported formats: CD, DVD*
*Please note that mini-discs and some DVD formats such as Dual-layer DVDs may have limitations to the extent of repair capable. Some formats are known to be more sensitive to “aggressive” repair in cases of deep scratches. Consulting with us in-person when seeking the repair is the best way to get answers on how likely we can repair your disc(s) or if you are unsure what format your disc is.
Can Blu-rays be repaired?
Blu-rays have a significantly thinner polycarbonate layer protecting the data in the disc. As a result, most Blu-rays cannot be repaired to the same extent a CD or DVD can. We can offer a high-grade polishing service to the disc, but if your Blu-ray disc has noticeable scratches, it is likely beyond any form of repair. Please note that the following game consoles currently use Blu-rays discs for their game media: PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Wii U.
Discs with deep scratches, gouges, cracks, or disc rot are not repairable.
If you have more questions about disc repair and its pricing, please feel free to contact any store to speak with our helpful and knowledgeable staff!
Although we have offered some specialized performance and cosmetic modifications in the past, we no longer offer these types of services.
Most cartridge-based games are very old and need to be cleaned if they've sat around for any extended period of time. Frequent use may also make it necessary to clean. You can do this at home by taking a cotton swab with 91% isopropyl alcohol and scrubbing the contact pins of the game; do this until the cotton swab appears to not have any residue. Let it dry then try to play/boot the game again. If the game still does not work, then reconfirm if other games are working on the console. If other games work, then the game cartridge may need a more aggressive cleaning or be in need of repair. If the console refuses to read any games, then the console itself may require repair.
We offer repairs on most game consoles. For details, you can read this page further, contact our stores, or use this contact form above.
Absolutely! Every repair comes with a 90-day warranty covering parts and workmanship. See the section for full details. Please note the warranty only covers parts and workmanship so abuse, accidental physical or liquid damage, droppings, infestations, etc. are not covered.
All repairs require a $20 deposit that will be deducted from the final repair cost. Each game console has a set price so depending on which console you want repaired, the price will differ. Contact any of the stores found here or our repair team using the contact form above for pricing.
The approximate turnaround time is 14 days, but this can vary slightly. When a repair is dropped off, the staff will advise you of the approximate completion date. You'll also be copied by email indicating this date. If for some reason you have not heard from us by the completion date, then please reach out to the stores where you dropped it off.
Contact the store where you dropped it off or the Repair Team using the contact form above so it can be updated.
Of course! All repairs are held for 30 days and you will be contacted weekly until the console is retrieved. If 30 days have passed and we have not heard from you to make arrangements for pickup, per our the system will be considered abandoned and used for parts.
Some repairs entail replacements of hard disk drives, solid state drives, and sometimes motherboards. In these cases, we cannot preserve any stored information found on the console. Please be aware that per our , we are not responsible for loss of data.
We do not guarantee any data will remain intact during any repair procedure. This is covered in our .
There is a 90-day warranty covering parts and workmanship so if it is a failure of a part we used or how it was installed, contact us as soon as you can so we can perform a warranty repair.
We recommend everyone to claim their system once a repair has been completed or attempted. If you decide after signing for it that you do not want to take it home, you can donate it for parts or recycling. You may also claim some value for it by trading it in towards a replacement or something else entirely.
