Our Story
Back in 2007, I noticed something frustrating in Schaumburg: good people struggling to find quick, affordable repairs for their electronics. The big box stores were slow and overpriced. The small shops felt sketchy. There had to be a better way.
In 2010, with the help of a friend, I started Zombie Techs. The name? Because we bring dead devices back to life. Simple as that.
Now going into our 16th year serving Des Plaines and the Northwest Suburbs, we've repaired thousands of devices—from the first iPhones to the latest MacBooks. We're not the biggest shop, but we might be the most dedicated.
