A: Great place for repairs and mods. The technician saved my wavebird controller from extensive corrosion and now it's like new. They also modded my GameCube to play games from an SD card.sounds like the person who did this left but Al's still does some repairs

David Davidson: Went here with my father, who was pleased with the selection of music, and my brother, who was pleased with the games. My dad said when he lived here the store wasn't nearly as good as in his day, so it's neat that they've improved so much

James Clarendon: 5 stars for the video game repair service. In October I brought my OG Xbox in for repair. My self-executed mod had expired after 7+ years and the machine wasn't booting. The team at Al's took all my nitpicky info down accurately and sent me a copy of my repair form. Alejandro, the technician who did the work for me, was very knowledgable, understood the importance of the device to me, and explained the situation. They provided me a shortcut fix that could get me back up and running, but when I asked about other options they were happy to explain different options. Their good communication and subject mater expertise earned my trust and convinced me to go forward with an improved modification. There was no way in hell that I was going to spend many hours re-ripping all of my collection off original discs so they gave me step-by-step guidance for how to back up my hard disk before I returned the device for the upgrade. When the mod was completed, they again walked me through how to restore all of my backed up content. As a result I had a better modded device and all of my original data intact. They charged a fair amount for the work and research required.Again, I was grateful to Alejandro for their technical and communication skills.Everyone can grow, and I do have some constructive feedback: it would be good if Al's could tell me where in the queue my device was for repairs. I expect this could make some customers nervous. If they could see how many were ahead of them, it could set expectations and soothe them. I like to think I was more patient.I like to think that.
