SAN REMO
7 km south of our Mannering Park workshop
San Remo sits along the highway near Budgewoi Lake, with Colongra on the other side of the lake's northern arm. It's an easy run from our Mannering Park workshop.
Most of what we do in San Remo is everyday household repairs: laptops that won't charge, computers that have slowed to a crawl, failing hard drives and the occasional spilled drink. Every job starts with a free diagnostic.
An older computer that takes five minutes to start often doesn't need replacing. Swapping the hard drive for an SSD, adding memory and cleaning up start-up programs can make it feel new for a fraction of the cost.
This page also covers Colongra — the same free diagnostic, no-fix no-fee guarantee and free pickup apply.
