About Michael

Hi, I'm Michael. I run Mikey's Cell Phone & Computer Repair in Abbotsford and I have fixed thousands of phones and computers. I started Steady Hand Tech because many seniors told me the same thing: they just want someone patient to explain it properly.

I'll never rush you, never use confusing words, and never talk you into something you don't need. You can ask the same question as many times as you like.

Where I come to you
