Electronic Toy Repair Dubai
Your kid's favorite remote-control car stopped working mid-race. The talking doll that used to sing bedtime songs now just clicks. The drone they got for Eid won't lift off. These aren't just broken toys — they're disappointed kids and wasted money. We've fixed over 3,000 electronic toys across Dubai in the last four years, from AED 50 musical keychains to AED 2,000 programmable robots. If it has a circuit board, a motor, or a speaker, chances are we can fix it.
We work on everything: remote-control cars and trucks, talking dolls and interactive pets, drones and hoverboards, gaming controllers and handheld consoles, electronic learning tablets, and robotic building kits. Our workshop is in Al Quoz, and we offer same-day diagnosis for most repairs. If we can't fix it, we don't charge you. Simple as that.
Get Your Toy Fixed Today
Send us a photo of the broken toy and describe what happened — dropped in water, stopped charging, motor burned out, buttons not responding. We'll tell you in minutes whether it's fixable, how much it'll cost, and how long it'll take. Most simple repairs are done same-day. Complex jobs with hard-to-find parts usually take 2–3 days. We're in Al Quoz Industrial Area — you can drop off or we can arrange pickup across Dubai.
What Makes Our Toy Repair Different
Most repair shops in Dubai either won't touch toys or charge more than the toy is worth. We've built our process around fixing what's actually broken — not replacing entire boards when one capacitor failed.
We Fix What Others Replace
A lot of shops tell you the main board is dead and needs replacing — that's a AED 200–400 fix. We check the board first. Often it's just a blown capacitor, a cracked solder joint, or a fried voltage regulator. We've fixed drones that "needed" new flight controllers by replacing a AED 12 MOSFET. We've revived gaming controllers by resoldering the charging port. Component-level repair saves you money and keeps toys out of landfills.
No Hidden Costs, Ever
We diagnose first, quote second. Before we touch a screwdriver, you get a breakdown: what's broken, what parts cost, how long it'll take, and the total labor charge. If the repair costs more than a replacement, we'll tell you straight. No "surprise" charges when you pick up. Last month, 40% of our quotes were under AED 150 — and the customer went ahead with the repair because it was still cheaper than buying new.
Most Repairs Done Same Day
Our workshop stocks common parts for popular toys: motors for RC cars, charging ports for tablets, speakers for talking dolls, battery connectors for drones. If we have the part, we fix it while you wait or within a few hours. For rare parts — a specific motherboard for a limited-edition console, for example — we source within 24–48 hours from our suppliers in Deira and Al Ain. We don't make you wait weeks for a simple fix.
You Talk to the Person Fixing It
When you call or message us, you're talking to the technician who'll actually open the toy — not a receptionist reading from a script. We ask the right questions: When did it stop working? Was it dropped? Did it get wet? What happens when you press the power button? This saves time and money. We've diagnosed problems over WhatsApp just from a photo of the damage and a 30-second voice note. No runaround, no transfers, no "someone will call you back."
What We Actually Repair
These are the four categories we see most often in our Al Quoz workshop. If your toy isn't listed here, send us a photo — we've fixed things that don't fit any category.
Drone Repair
DJI Mini, Mavic, Tello, Parrot — we've fixed most consumer drones sold in Dubai. Common problems: cracked arms from crashes, gimbal motors that won't stabilize, cameras with dead sensors, and flight controllers that lose GPS lock. We stock replacement arms, motors, and propellers for popular models. For DJI drones, we can often recalibrate the IMU and compass in-house, which most shops can't do. If your drone took a hard landing in the desert, bring it in — sand damage is fixable if you don't power it on again.
Video Game Console Repair
PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite — we work on all of them. The most common fixes we do: HDMI port replacement (kids yank the cable), overheating from dust-clogged fans, disc drives that won't read games, and power supplies that fail after voltage spikes. For PS5s, we also fix the liquid metal cooling issue that causes random shutdowns. Most console repairs take 2–4 hours. We test every console for at least an hour after repair — overheating doesn't show up in five minutes.
Remote-Controlled Car Repair
Traxxas, Arrma, WLtoys, Tamiya — hobby-grade and toy-grade, we fix both. The usual suspects: stripped gears from hard landings, burned-out brushed motors, ESCs that fry after water exposure, and steering servos that strip their gears. We also rebuild differentials and replace shock oil, which most people don't know is a wear item. For toy-grade cars from Carrefour or Toys R Us, we often find the problem is just a loose wire to the motor — a 10-minute fix that saves you buying a new AED 150 car.
Robot Repair
LEGO Mindstorms, VEX Robotics, Sphero, Cozmo, Vector, and generic programmable kits from Amazon — we repair them all. Typical issues: servo motors that seize or jitter, sensors that give false readings, main boards with corrupted firmware, and battery packs that won't hold charge. For LEGO Mindstorms EV3 and Spike Prime, we can reflash firmware and replace individual motors and sensors without buying whole kits. If your school robotics team has a competition coming up and something broke, call us — we've done same-day repairs for teams across Dubai.
How Our Repair Process Actually Works
Tell Us What Broke
Call 0581873003, WhatsApp us a photo, or fill out the form on this page. Tell us the toy model, what happened (dropped, got wet, stopped working suddenly), and what you've already tried. We ask specific questions: Does it power on at all? Any lights or sounds? When did it last work? This saves time — we often diagnose the problem before you even bring it in.
We Open It Up and Check
You drop it off at our Al Quoz workshop or we arrange pickup across Dubai. We open the toy, inspect the circuit board under magnification, test components with a multimeter, and check for visible damage — cracked solder joints, burnt chips, corroded battery contacts, water residue. For drones and consoles, we run diagnostic software. This takes 15–30 minutes for most toys. We call you with what we found.
You Get a Fixed Quote
No estimates that balloon later. We tell you exactly what's wrong, what part needs replacing (with part number and cost), how long the repair takes, and the total labor charge. If the repair costs more than a new toy, we say so — we've told parents to buy a new AED 80 tablet instead of spending AED 120 fixing an old one. Honesty saves everyone time.
We Fix It
You approve the quote, we start the repair. For common parts, we fix it same-day. For rare parts — a specific DJI flight controller, a discontinued console chip — we source from our suppliers in Deira or Sharjah and usually have it within 24–48 hours. We don't start work until the part is in hand, so we never miss a deadline we promised.
We Test It Properly
Every repaired toy gets tested beyond "does it turn on." Drones get a 10-minute hover test. Consoles run a stress test for an hour. RC cars get driven on our test track. Tablets get every button and port checked. If we replaced a charging port, we charge and discharge the battery twice to make sure it holds. We don't hand back a toy that might fail again in a week.
You Get It Back
We call or message you when it's ready. Pick it up from our Al Quoz workshop, or we deliver across Dubai for AED 30–50 depending on your area. Every repair comes with a 30-day warranty — if the same issue comes back, we fix it free. No receipt needed, we keep records of every repair by phone number.
What Repairs Actually Cost
The "from" price covers diagnosis and simple fixes — loose wires, blown fuses, basic soldering. Most jobs fall in the 150–400 AED range. Complex repairs like motherboard replacement or firmware recovery cost more, but we quote upfront before starting. If a new toy costs less than the repair, we'll tell you. Last month, 35% of our repairs were under 200 AED. Send us a photo for a rough estimate before you bring anything in.
Get Your Toy Fixed — Here's How
Send us a WhatsApp with a photo of the broken toy and a quick description of what happened. We'll reply within 30 minutes with whether it's fixable, a rough cost estimate, and how long it'll take. Most simple repairs — loose wires, blown fuses, charging port replacement — are done same-day. Complex jobs with rare parts usually take 2–3 days. We're in Al Quoz Industrial Area, open Saturday to Thursday, 9 AM to 7 PM. You can drop off, arrange pickup across Dubai, or courier it to us.
If you're not sure whether it's worth fixing, send the photo anyway. We've told people to buy a new AED 80 tablet instead of spending AED 120 on a repair. We've also fixed AED 2,000 drones for AED 250 when the owner was told it was unrepairable. The only way to know is to ask. No charge for diagnosis — you only pay if you go ahead with the repair.
Call or WhatsApp 0581873003Questions We Get Asked
Simple fixes — loose wires, blown fuses, charging port replacement — are usually done the same day you drop it off. Complex repairs like motherboard replacement or firmware recovery take 2–3 days, mostly because we're waiting for parts. For drones, we need to test flight stability, which adds a few hours. Consoles get a 1-hour stress test after repair. We'll tell you the exact timeline when we diagnose it — not a vague "it depends."
No — we work on pretty much everything. DJI and Parrot drones, PlayStation and Xbox consoles, Traxxas and WLtoys RC cars, LEGO Mindstorms and Sphero robots. We've also fixed generic tablets from Carrefour, no-brand drones from Amazon, and vintage gaming handhelds from the 90s. If it has a circuit board, bring it in. The only things we don't touch are mains-powered appliances — stick to toys and small electronics.
We can't quote without seeing the toy, but here's what most jobs look like: simple fixes (loose wire, blown fuse, charging port) run 100–200 AED. Mid-range repairs (motor replacement, sensor swap, disc drive fix) are 200–400 AED. Complex jobs (motherboard work, firmware recovery, major drone crash damage) can hit 400–800 AED. If it's going to cost more than a replacement, we'll tell you before we start. Last month, our average repair was 230 AED. Send us a photo for a rough estimate.
We only work with customers in the UAE right now — Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, and Abu Dhabi. If you're in another emirate, you can courier the toy to us, but you'll need to arrange pickup or delivery yourself. We don't handle international shipping. If you have a friend or family member in Dubai, they can drop it off and collect it for you. Just make sure they have your contact details so we can discuss the repair directly with you.
Sometimes, yes. For RC cars, we can swap brushed motors for brushless ones — more speed, longer life. For drones, we can upgrade antennas for better range or swap cameras for higher resolution. For consoles, we can install larger SSDs or better cooling. We don't do cosmetic mods (LED strips, custom shells) — we stick to functional upgrades that improve performance. We'll discuss what's possible and what it costs before touching anything. No surprises.
The toy itself, any cables or chargers it came with, and the remote if it has one. Don't worry about the box or manual — we don't need them. If you know what happened (dropped in water, stopped after a fall, just died one day), tell us. The more details, the faster we diagnose. One customer brought a drone with a note saying "it fell in the pool" — saved us 20 minutes of guessing. Another brought a console with "makes a clicking noise" — turned out to be a failing hard drive we caught before total failure.
Here's the Bottom Line
Most broken electronic toys in Dubai end up in the trash because people assume they're unfixable or because repair shops quote more than the toy is worth. We've fixed over 3,000 toys in the last four years, and the majority of them had simple problems — a loose wire, a blown fuse, a cracked solder joint, a dead charging port. Problems that take 30 minutes to fix and cost under 200 AED.
Before you throw away that drone, console, or RC car, send us a photo. We'll tell you honestly whether it's worth fixing. Sometimes the answer is no — buy a new one. But more often than not, the answer is yes, and it's cheaper and faster than you think. We're in Al Quoz, open six days a week, and we answer WhatsApp messages within 30 minutes. Call 0581873003 or message us now.
