Customer Reviews

I contacted Brad to repair my Wurlitzer 1015 OMT jukebox. When he arrived he was well prepared and knowledgeable, identified the problem and now my jukebox is working again. fair price and great to work with.

Had a couple PCB board questions and he acted like he was completely clueless what I was talking about. Didn't want to help at all. Website clearly states they repair PCB boards so not sure what his problem was. I was simply asking which PCB boards one specific super popular highly sought-after machine uses and he acting like I was speaking in tongue

Great Company. They are very knowledgeable and will fix your machines fast.

I can't say enough good things about Tony. Despite his busy schedule he was able to quickly and correctly diagnose and repair my pinball machine. He is very knowledgeable and reasonable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tony.

Tony showed up and was great right from the start. As he was working on my pinball machine problem he talked to me and shared information about the machine that was helpful. He worked out everything and tested the machine to make sure it was fixed and everything worked right. I also had an old bally slot machine I had him look at that another company looked at a year before . That company charged me a couple hundred dollars and told me it was beyond repair.Tony told me to bring it to his shop, and if he co

Tony came out to help us with a Pinball Machine. He was nice and explained everything very well. The cost was reasonable. He also offered other suggestions if we wanted to tweak a few more things.

Like other posters have commented, Tony is the best! He came out when he said he was going to come out, not only fixed the problem with my pinball machine but found other problems and fixed those as well. He took his time got everything correct and the machine runs like new. So happy with the service. And his service charge was very reasonable.

Tony has repaired two of my Super Off Road boards that no one else would even touch. I would highly recommend Tony for board repair. Recently I had him do a reprint for the front graphic on my Fun Chicken egg laying machine, and could not be happier. The day he finished it he had it sent out for delivery. Now I can enjoy my machine again like it was off the factory floor. If you need anything done just give Tony a shout and most likely he can take care of it for you. I think he must dabble in a little bit o

Thanks to Tony, The Adventures of Major Havoc is back! I had a great experience with Hi Tech. Awesome customer service. He explained everything thing he did and walked me through some trouble shooting steps if I have issues in to future. The cost was reasonable too. Tony is an expert and I was lucky to find him. I highly recommend Hi Tech and won't hesitate to call when I need help again.

Tony was awesome. Came out and fixed a joystick issue with my blitz/showtime arcade on the spot! Totally unexpected as I figured he'd need to take it back to do some diagnosis. I've had the machine looked at by a few different arcade repairmen who didn't know how to fix it and Tony had it working in an hour an a half. My dad now has a pinball machine in to be fixed after seeing how professional and knowledgeable Tony is. Can't say enough great things!

Tony was amazing. He was able to think outside of the box and hunt down my problem. I was really impressed in how he was able to troubleshoot something that was totally out of the ordinary. The dude should work for NASA. 100% impressed and would recommend to anyone.

Tony was remarkable! He made a trip on short notice, fixed two machines, and walked me through routine maintenance. He explained exactly what the issues were and how to prevent them in the future. Look no further for arcade repair - Tony's honest, patient and a genuine expert! ??????

Tony fixed my House of the Dead 4 arcade. I had no hopes that it would work again and now it's working perfect. Thanks again Tony, quick responses, and very professional. I would recommend Hi-Tech Arcade to anyone looking to get a machine fixed, Tony is the guy!

Tony is the best. Tony actually cares to address the request and fix. Others failed and jacked up my machines. Had others make things worse & charge a lot more. Had service on a Skittle Ball, Jurassic Park data east pin, ghost busters stern pin, and Mr. And Mrs. Pac Man pin.

Anthony came out and remedied the issues, which as it turned out, we're quite numerous. He's very knowledgeable and professional and I'm sure he will be in my basement again. Very pleased.

Tony is the real deal,had other so called experts out that couldnt diagnose the problem.We are up and running again. I would recommend this company.

Quick and trustworthy turnaround, good communication. Thank you Hi-Tech.

Amazing Service! This is the only place to get an arcade fixed. Very fair pricing and timely repairs. 100% the real deal.

Thank you Tony for getting our arcade up and running!!! Great prices, fast service

Great, fast, and affordable repair. This guy knows what he is doing!

Fixed our bowler game that was supposedly not fixable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
