Gambling & Arcade Machine repairs

We love machinery! Anything with cogs, springs, levers and motors, we like to fix it! We specialize in the repair and refurbishment of arcade and gambling machines, such as One Arm Bandit machines, and the famous Street Fighter machines you still see in pubs and some takeaways. Two of our engineers in the company used to run an arcade machine repair company for 20 years back in the 80's, so they brought their skills to Kitamura as a diversification! Arcade machines have computers inside, and we're experts at those!

Turnaround Time

Our turnaround times are some of the best in the North West, as we normally carry a wide range of spares in stock so repairs are often carried out the same day once diagnostic tests are done and customer authorization obtained. In cases where we need to order parts, depending on their availability and price, turnaround is no longer than 2 - 3 days.

Please Note: ALL vending and arcade machines are repaired on site due to their weight and size, so an initial assesment visit is made to assess the fault.

Our Professional repair procedure

We value our customers, and their equipment. That's why we have a strictly enforced repair procedure. We DON'T just take stuff to bits and then struggle to put it back! As well as our extensive experience, we have links with all EPOS/vending manufacturers, and obtain factory service literature, so whether we're repairing a circuit in your machine, or replacing cabinet parts, the work is done professionally, lovingly, and with great respect for you and your equipment. We DO NOT use cheap imitation parts, only GENUINE OEM, so you can be sure we're competent, because we're passionate about professionalism and expertise, no matter how small the job.
