And if your equipment has reached the end of its life, we are here to ensure its parts are re-​used and recycled in an environmentally safe and friendly way. No matter how old or broken, you can bring your computer components to us.

Historique

Fondé en 2008.

The Hackery was founded by David Repa and Brian Dick to offer an alternative to the big name, big pricetag computer stores of Vancouver.

Our name was inspired by the ex pie factory which our store is based out of. The building has gone from housing a bakery to a hackery.

In our humble East Van workshop, we’ve worked hard to give customers hope after other stores have written off their computers. And we’re proud to say that we’ve helped to keep thousands of computers in service since 2008.
