Xbox Acting Up? Barrie’s Secret Society of Console Fixers (No Handshakes Required)

There’s nothing like the excitement of game night in Barrie—pizza, friends, a little friendly trash talk, and…
Your Xbox throws a tantrum.
Suddenly, your “quick round” of Rocket League is more like an hour of frantic Googling and creative swearing.

Don’t panic.
You don’t have to join a secret Facebook group or perform a mystical handshake in the Zehrs parking lot to find help.
You just need to know where Barrie’s real console whisperers are hiding—and spoiler alert: we’re not actually hiding. We’re just working through a mountain of HDMI port repairs (and drinking Timmies by the gallon).


The Classic Xbox Drama Scenarios (Tell Us If This Is You):

  • Random black screen during your best Fortnite streak (your squad will never let you live it down)
  • Red Ring of Death (a classic, and not the fun kind)
  • Grinding, clicking, or “I swear it didn’t sound like that last week” noises
  • Controllers that disconnect more than your grandma’s WiFi
  • Ports so loose your cable falls out if someone sneezes nearby

Why Barrie Gamers Join the Secret Society

  • No lectures.
    We won’t ask how many Mountain Dews have been spilled on your console, or how that peanut butter got in the USB port. (But seriously—how?)
  • Real fixes, real fast.
    Most repairs are done in a day or two, so your kill/death ratio doesn’t take too big a hit.
  • Local techs, actual gamers.
    We speak fluent Xbox. If you mention Halo, we’ll get misty-eyed.

Bonus: Secret Society Member Perks (A.K.A. Why We’re Not the Geek Squad)

  • Same-day diagnosis whenever possible
  • Free advice on avoiding the next disaster
  • We’ve seen it all—from Xboxes used as doorstops to “my cat peed on it, can you fix it?” (Not kidding.)

How the (Totally Not-So) Secret Process Works

  1. Text, call, or walk in.
    No passwords, no handshakes, just show up.
  2. Free, judgment-free diagnosis.
    Tell us what happened. Or don’t. We’ll figure it out.
  3. Clear quote and honest timing.
    If it’ll be longer than two days, we’ll tell you—and offer emotional support.
  4. Quality repair with real gamer testing.
    Yes, we do test your console with actual games. Research, obviously.

A: Usually, yes. But if it’s older than your kid, let’s chat.

A: Usually! But always back up when you can.
