12 min from Copa Beach • Beach-damage specialists • Same-day on most jobs
Copacabana is a 12-minute drive over the hill from our Erina workshop, and we're easily the closest specialist repair option for Copa locals. The drive is straightforward via Avoca Drive, so you don't have to head into Gosford or Tuggerah for a quality fix. Whether it's a cracked screen from a wipeout at Copa Beach, a charging port full of sand, or a MacBook that took a wave at the surf club, drop it in and we'll have an honest answer for you within the hour.
The classic Copa repair story: you took a photo at the beach, the phone got a splash from the surf, it kept working for a couple of days, and now the speaker is crackling and the charging port intermittently won't connect. That's salt corrosion eating the connectors and ICs (we've written a detailed article on the Tristar IC if you want the technical detail). The good news: caught early, we can usually clean the board ultrasonically and replace the corroded parts without needing a full replacement device. We also recover data from water-damaged Macs, keep the same hard drive intact, and ship a working machine back to you the same week.
From Copa SLSC head west to Avoca, then continue along Avoca Drive, Tramway Road and Karalta Road. The full drive is 12 minutes via Del Monte Place, Avoca Drive and Tramway. We're at 3/221 The Entrance Road. Free parking, walk-ins welcome — and if you've just dropped a phone in the surf, get it to us as quickly as you can without trying to charge it first.
