Our Story

Welcome to UniverCell, Canada’s premier destination for professional electronics repair and certified pre-owned devices. What started as a single ambitious vision by our founder, Afaq Ahmed Shaik, to launch a specialized service kiosk in Winnipeg, has grown into a nationwide success story. Over the last decade, we have remained committed to the idea that high-quality tech support should be accessible, fast, and reliable for every Canadian.

Today, UniverCell has proudly expanded to over 15 locations across the country, including major hubs in Manitoba, Alberta, and Ontario. We don’t just fix screens; we restore the essential tools you use for work, school, and staying connected with loved ones. Our technicians are experts in a massive range of hardware, from the latest iPhone and Samsung Galaxy models to complex repairs on MacBook Pro logic boards, iPad screen replacements, and high-performance gaming consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

Our growth is fueled by three core principles instilled by Afaq Ahmed Shaik: Trust through transparent pricing and honest diagnostic assessments; Professionalism by employing industry-certified technicians who stay ahead of the latest tech trends; and Dependability by offering industry-leading warranties on our parts and labor. We understand that your device is your life, which is why we strive to complete most repairs in under 60 minutes. Our commitment to sustainability drives us to extend the life of every device, reducing e-waste and promoting a circular economy.
