Who is Retro Repair Bear

Hi! I’m Claire. Mrs Bear to TheRetroBear.

I gained relevant qualifications many years ago in a former career, which I left after 13 years to do something “different”.

What was I thinking!?

Living with a retro collector, with an endless supply of faulty micro computers and retro consoles in need of recapping eventually led to a chance collaboration with our good friends at Hidden Chest Gaming

What people are saying..

"Claire has done a brilliant job for me in upgrading both my Sega Saturn and Megadrive 2 consoles. I originally had a rough idea what I wanted, but with Claire's knowledge and advice I chose the best mods to suit my needs. She also provided details on the installations completed and how to use them - outstanding service! I have recommended her to others and will be back in the future - thanks again Claire"

“Absolutely incredible service by Retro Repair Bear, I've had two systems cleaned and refurbished, A Commodore 64 breadbin and a Dragon 32 and both came to me in superb condition, like new. Would highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.”

“I sent my C64 in for a service and was told by Claire she had found a couple of other issues. I was given a full report and quote for the further work. A very trustworthy and honest service was provided and now I can enjoy playing my favourite games again. Highly recommended to all”
