Most customers drop off and pick up same-day at our Laval, Montreal, or Vaudreuil-Dorion locations. We do all repairs in-house \u2014 no mail-in.<\/div><\/details>\n<details class=\"p5fq\"><summary>What is Hall-effect and is it worth it?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">Hall-effect sticks use magnets and sensors instead of the wear-prone carbon film potentiometer. They never drift. Yes \u2014 for $30 more than a regular stick replacement, you essentially get a permanent fix. Many serious gamers upgrade preemptively.<\/div><\/details>\n<details class=\"p5fq\"><summary>Will my game saves be lost?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">No \u2014 controller repair doesn&#8217;t touch the PS5 console at all. Saves, PSN account, game progress, profile data \u2014 all stays exactly where it was on the console.<\/div><\/details>\n<details class=\"p5fq\"><summary>Can you fix DualSense Edge controllers?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">Yes \u2014 but DualSense Edge repair is contact-only ($269 controllers are rare and parts availability varies). Call ahead \u2014 we&#8217;ll confirm parts before you bring it in. Hall-effect upgrade is also possible on Edge.<\/div><\/details>\n<details class=\"p5fq\"><summary>Do you fix DualShock 4 (PS4 controllers) too?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">Yes \u2014 DS4 drift repair is $49 (cheaper because the design is simpler). All trigger, bumper, and battery work also available. Same 30-day warranty.<\/div><\/details>\n<details class=\"p5fq\"><summary>What about adaptive triggers (L2\/R2)?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">Sticky or unresponsive triggers \u2014 we replace the trigger module assembly. $55 per side. Common after extensive FPS play (Call of Duty, Apex, etc.). Restores full adaptive feel.<\/div><\/details>\n<details class=\"p5fq\"><summary>Why does Sony&#8217;s repair take weeks?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">Sony does mail-in only via authorized service centers. Your controller goes into a queue with thousands of others. Our same-day in-store repair beats that easily for non-warranty work.<\/div><\/details>\n<details class=\"p5fq\"><summary>Should I just buy a new controller?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">If your DualSense is older than 1 year and it&#8217;s only drifting (not multiple issues), repair makes sense \u2014 especially with Hall-effect upgrade. If it has 5 different issues, replacement might be cheaper. Free diagnostic helps you decide.<\/div><\/details>\n<details class=\"p5fq\"><summary>Where can I get this repair done in Greater Montreal?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">Three locations: <a href=\"https:\/\/buycellfix.ca\/ps5-repair-laval\/\">Laval (1112 Cur\u00e9-Labelle)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/buycellfix.ca\/ps5-repair-montreal\/\">Montreal (5275 Queen Mary Rd)<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/buycellfix.ca\/ps5-repair-vaudreuil-dorion\/\">Vaudreuil-Dorion (318 Sylvain-Leli\u00e8vre)<\/a>.
