Computer Repair
Fast, no-nonsense computer repair and IT support for businesses and professionals — PC and Mac diagnostics, data recovery, virus removal, upgrades, and managed support, on-site or remote.
01 — Approach
How we engage.
- Diagnostics & troubleshooting — a real diagnosis of why your computer is slow, crashing, overheating, or won\'t boot, with a fixed quote before any work begins.
- Data recovery — recovering files from failed drives, corrupted file systems, accidental deletion, and dead laptops — before you assume it is gone.
- Virus & malware removal — removing infections, ransomware, and adware, then closing the hole that let them in so it does not come straight back.
- Hardware upgrades — SSD swaps, RAM upgrades, battery replacement, and the cheap fixes that make an old machine feel new instead of replacing it.
- Screen & component repair — laptop screens, keyboards, charging ports, fans, and the physical repairs that keep a good machine in service.
- Slow / crashing computer fixes — performance problems, boot loops, blue screens, kernel panics, and the gremlins that defeat the restart-and-pray approach.
- Setup, migration & data transfer — new computer setup, moving your files and apps from the old machine, email and account migration, done so nothing is left behind.
- Business IT support & managed care — ongoing support for small teams: patching, backups, account management, and a senior technician on call instead of a nephew who is "good with computers".
- Honest diagnosis, fixed pricing. You hear what is wrong and what it costs before we start. No open-ended hourly meter, no surprise at pickup.
- Senior technicians. The person fixing your machine has fixed thousands — not a trainee learning on your data. The same studio runs enterprise infrastructure; your laptop gets that level of competence.
- Your data is treated like it matters. We back up before we touch anything risky, and we tell you honestly when a repair threatens your files — because we have seen what "we just reinstalled Windows" does to people.
- We will tell you when not to repair. Sometimes the machine is not worth fixing. We will say so, and help you choose and set up a replacement instead of charging you to delay the inevitable.
- On-site or remote. Many problems we solve remotely in minutes. For the rest, we come to your office — no unplugging everything and hauling it to a strip-mall counter.
- Fast turnaround. We know a broken computer is a stopped business. Most repairs are same-day or next-day, and we keep you informed the whole way.
- Stay-on support. Many clients keep us on a light support plan so the next problem is a quick call, not a scramble to find someone trustworthy.
- Platforms: Windows PCs and laptops, Apple Mac (MacBook, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio), and Linux workstations.
- Hardware: SSD and NVMe upgrades, RAM, batteries, screens, keyboards, fans, power supplies, and thermal service.
- Data: recovery from failed HDDs and SSDs, corrupted file systems, accidental deletion; backup setup so it does not happen again.
- Software: OS reinstalls and repair, driver and update issues, malware removal, and application troubleshooting.
- Networking & peripherals: Wi-Fi and connectivity issues, printers, and the small-office gear that never quite behaves — backed by our networking practice.
- Business fleets: standardised setup, imaging, and ongoing support for small-team computer fleets.
- Diagnostics — flat fee, credited toward the repair if you proceed. You always know the problem before you commit to a fix.
- Standard repairs & upgrades — fixed price quoted up front (e.g. SSD upgrade, virus removal, battery or screen replacement), parts included in the quote.
- Data recovery — quoted after evaluation, priced by difficulty; no-recovery, no-fee on standard cases.
- On-site visits — flat call-out plus fixed or hourly labour, agreed before we arrive.
- Business support plans — monthly, covering a set number of machines with priority response, patching, and backups.

04 — Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does computer repair cost?
It depends on the problem, but you always get a fixed quote before any work starts. Diagnostics is a flat fee that we credit toward the repair if you proceed. Common fixes — an SSD upgrade, virus removal, a battery or screen replacement — are quoted up front with parts included, so there is never a surprise at pickup. If a machine is not worth repairing, we will tell you honestly.
Can you recover data from a dead or failed hard drive?
Often, yes — do not assume it is gone. We recover files from failed hard drives and SSDs, corrupted file systems, accidental deletion, and dead laptops. We evaluate the drive first and quote based on difficulty, and on standard cases we work no-recovery, no-fee. The most important thing: stop using the drive and bring it to us before anything overwrites the data.
My computer is really slow — do I need a new one?
Usually not. The most common cause of a slow computer is an old mechanical hard drive, too little RAM, or a malware infection — all fixable for a fraction of replacement cost. An SSD upgrade alone makes most five-year-old machines feel new again. We will diagnose the real cause and tell you honestly whether a cheap upgrade fixes it or whether it is genuinely time to replace.
Do you repair both PCs and Macs?
Yes — Windows PCs and laptops, Apple Macs (MacBook, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio), and Linux workstations. Senior technicians who know all three platforms, so you do not have to find a separate specialist depending on what you own.
Will I lose my files when you repair my computer?
Not if we can help it. We back up your data before doing anything risky, and we tell you honestly when a repair threatens your files so you can decide. We have seen too many people lose everything to a careless "we just reinstalled Windows" — that is not how we work.
Can you fix my computer remotely, or do I have to bring it in?
Many software, performance, malware, and configuration problems we solve remotely — often the same day, often in minutes. Hardware problems (drives, screens, batteries, fans) need hands on the machine, so for those we come to your office on-site or arrange a drop-off. We will tell you which yours is when you describe the symptoms.
How fast can you fix it?
We know a broken computer is a stopped business, so most repairs are same-day or next-day once we have the machine and your go-ahead. Remote fixes can be immediate. Parts-dependent repairs (a specific screen or battery) take as long as the part takes to arrive — and we tell you that timeline up front, not after.
Do you offer ongoing IT support for small businesses?
Yes. Many small teams keep us on a monthly support plan covering a set number of machines with priority response, patching, backups, and account management — a senior technician on call instead of whoever happens to be "good with computers". It turns the next problem into a quick call rather than a scramble to find someone you trust.
