Gatesville is the Coryell County seat, on the Leon River north of Fort Hood. Because the post sits between Gatesville and Killeen, getting to Killeen means driving around it, so a single, well-planned trip matters more here than from closer towns. 254 Repair is a veteran-owned shop at 3921 East Stan Schlueter Loop, Ste 103, in Killeen. We repair phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, game consoles and drones there. It is our only location.
Getting here from Gatesville
Distance and time: about 39 miles, roughly 50 minutes. The figure comes from OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap data and does not include live traffic.
The route: from Main Street (US-84) in Gatesville, head south on FM 116 for about 22 miles, around the west side of Fort Hood, into Copperas Cove. From Cove, take US-190 (I-14) east about 9 miles into Killeen and exit at Stan Schlueter Loop (FM 3470). The shop is about half a mile south of the highway.
Plan for one trip: check our price list before you leave, and call ahead so we can tell you whether the part for your model is in stock. Most iPhone screen jobs take under an hour when it is. Samsung and other Android parts are usually ordered, so those repairs take about 3 business days. If you commute to Fort Hood from Gatesville, a drop-off and pickup can fit into your workweek. Walk-ins are welcome, the diagnostic is free, and se habla español.
