It's hard to play when you have no drive...

Looking for a good, fast repair shop for a dead PS3 optical drive in NYC or White Plains, please.
The optical drive on my PS3 died last night - the error it gave was somewhat ambiguous, but after swapping out the HDD, it's clear it's the optical drive.
I work across the street from Grand Central Terminal in NYC - is there a local repair shop I can drop it off at that is reuptable, instead of shipping it off for 6-8 weeks? Google has a few on Long Island, or some that don't seem quite on the up-and-up, so I am looking for first-hand experience. My home is in White Plains, NY, so that is another option if there's something nearby there as well.
Thank you!

I dropped it off there - it was only a quick hop down the 6 for me. Friendly enough, we'll see how fast / well they repair it.
Thank you for the tip, that is the kind of thing I was looking for!

Excellent! Glad it worked out for you. The staff there is great, friendly & much more knowledgeable than your average Game Stop or Best Buy employee, so I'm not surprised that the repair was handled well.

Based on their Services list, this kind of repair is common on the PS3.
caveat: I've never had anything repaired there before.
