HOTSHOT REPAIR
COLUMBIA MO
Updates on the Updates
I am going to start shifting my services towards repairing game consoles like the PS5 and XBox Series X and Laptops and Computers more than cellphones and tablets.
Apple has been limiting third party repair for a while now and it is getting too frustrating to answer calls and spending 5 minutes explaining why I shouldn’t replace the screen on an iPhone 13, 14 or 15 because it will break the faceID function.
I need to work on these pages a bit, just know changes are coming, and some of the info on this page and others is out of date. I am working on it.
<3 Kevin
Update 3/4/2025 – I got this page about how I want it. Next up will be adding PS5 and Xbox repair pages to the menu, hopefully with better pictures. I also plan to start doing the blog more.
MAYBE I CAN FIX IT
Call Hotshot Repair for fast, reliable Xbox repair and PlayStation repair that won’t break the bank. With over a decade of experience fixing gaming consoles and computers, I’m one of the few experts in Columbia crazy enough to tackle complex Xbox and PlayStation issues, including logic board repairs. Other shops often send their toughest cases to me—so why not skip the hassle and bring your device straight to the only repair shop in Columbia almost certain to get it right the first time?
I don’t just stop at Xbox repair and PlayStation repair. Whether it’s a computer fix or a gaming console tune-up, I’ve got you covered. I handle everything from cracked screens and faulty HDMI ports to power supply issues and battery replacements for controllers. No matter what’s wrong with your prized Xbox or PlayStation, I can likely fix it fast and affordably.

Called in to see about a repair and the gentleman on the phone was so helpful and kind while taking the time to answer all of my questions. He was up front about expectations and rather than push a repair that might not have held, he gave me the information to make my own decision as to whether or not the repair would be worth it. 10/10 customer service. I will be bringing my repairs here in the future.

Was headed thru Columbia to St Louis for a meeting and was able to stop in and get my laptop repaired that I needed for my presentation. Was able to get it fixed faster than the other 2 shops I called in town. Absolute life saver! Thanks again!

I have to say, Kevin at Hotshot repair is AWESOME!!! He goes above and beyond to keep you up to date on the repair process. In my case, I live about an hour a way, and he was willing to ship it for me so I wouldn't have to make a special trip! Pricing is excellent with the customer service you receive from Kevin! Just think, repairing your broken is sooo much cheaper than having to buy a brand new phone, or enter into another contract with your carrier to get a new phone. Kevin's 5 star reviews for Hotshot Repair don't lie. I highly recommend reaching out to him for any phone repair issues. He is up front, honest, and keeps you up to date on progress.THANK YOU KEVIN AND HOTSHOT REPAIR!!!

Kevin is the BEST! He repaired our Lenovo laptop that we had given up on and my husband's iphone. He educated us about our options then completed the job at a very reasonable price. We won't go to anyone else.

Kevin at Hotshot repair is an awesome guy and I HIGHLY recommend him for any electronics services!! Unfortunately, I mistakenly pulled on my fan plug from my PS5’s motherboard and thought that was the end. If anyone has any experience dealing with Sony repair turnaround times, you understand you will be waiting 5-6 weeks to get a console repaired (not to mention the steep costs involved). He was able to get my situation resolved in a timely manner for a VERY affordable price all in 1 day!!! Go see this man for any electronic assistance!!

I had a very good experience with this repair shop. My wife's iPhone randomly stopped working. The screen was showing a restore message, but restore was not working. I took the phone to best buy Geek squad who spent 10 mins on it and said that I need to replace the phone, without actually diagnosing the problem. When I took the phone to Hotshot repair, the person not only correctly identified the hardware problem, he was also able to fix it. He is very honest and upfront about the costs and residual issues. He told us that the hardware that is supposed to do faceID was broken and for security issues, this component could not be replaced. The phone could be fixed, but would not have FaceID. We went ahead with the repair and plan to keep it as a backup phone.Overall, very impressed with his knowledge, skill and honesty.

Kevin runs an amazing business. The refurbished S7 I bought wasn't so refurbished on the battery side of things. Kevin not only swapped the battery out flawlessly, but spent a good amount of time making sure that IF I decided to send the phone back after the repair, the company would still accept it.Considering he took time to make sure I knew all the possible contingencies, was upfront and honest about everything, and was in general just a nice guy to hang out with, I highly recommend Hotshot Repair.

This guy knows his stuff! I got a CPU repaste and cleaning. Detailed photos were provided along with regular progress updates. All done in around an hour the same amount of time he said it would take! Price was beyond reasonable and I would highly recommend taking your electronics for any needed repairs. Very casual business owner who treats you like a human. 👍

At the first meeting, Kevin presented several possibilities to repair my tablet. The repair turned out to be the least expensive and fastest fix. Price was reasonable, service could not have been better.

Fixed my phone in under 15 min, and it looks and works perfectly. He even gives a free screen protector, and the repair is half the price of everyone else in town.

Getting my Xbox fixed has been a journey.I contacted a repair shop in boonville to be told he doesn't work on anything others have. That's odd. That's like the Honda dealer telling you they can't repair your car because your brother did the oil change.So, I went to Hotshot Repair. I told him about what the other guy said. He told me that he doesn't care who worked on it in the past. He'll just charge more for more work that's done. That comment shows me how confident of a technician he is. Especially compared to the Boonville repair shop that just wants to press the easy button.I brought my Xbox to him and he fixed it no issues. Didn't even bother to mention that it was worked on beforehand.

MY MISSION
I don’t want to be a business. I want to be a person who helps people.
I want to provide my customers with top tier customer service while saving them money and time.
At Hotshot Repair you will get the best customer service in Columbia. If you are not completely satisfied with your experience I will try my best to make it right, before you leave.
It doesn’t stop there though. My customers shouldn’t have to pay a fortune to get their device fixed. I try to have the lowest prices in Columbia for all of my services. If you find a lower price elsewhere just let me know about it and I will try to beat it.
It won’t take too long either. You don’t need to send your Xbox back to Microsoft for like $250 or your PS5 back to Sony to get it fixed. I can probably fix it right here, in my shop in less time than anyone else. Some PlayStation and Xbox repairs are done the same day.
