I recently visited this computer repair shop and had an excellent experience. Vatsal assisted me throughout the process—he was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. He patiently addressed all my queries and made sure I understood everything clearly. The service was quick, efficient, and done with great attention to detail. It's not often you come across such genuine customer care and technical expertise in one place. I'm really impressed with the quality of work and reasonable pricing. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy computer repair services!

Told it's not worth fixing?
We do the board-level work others turn away.
Most shops swap parts and write off the rest. When a desktop or PC won't power on, won't post, or the data is trapped on a drive that won't mount, that's where the machine usually gets written off or shipped to a depot. We diagnose it in-house on the Courtice bench (free), and on board-level repair the diagnosis is no-fix / no-fee, and on data recovery it's no data, no fee. (Routine swaps and upgrades are quoted and billed the usual way.)
No-boot & board diagnostics
Won't power on, no display, dead after a power surge. We trace the fault to the board before quoting anything.
Board-level component repair
Failed power circuitry and damaged traces repaired in-house, not mailed to a stranger in another city.
Data recovery from dead drives
Photos, documents and files pulled off drives and machines that won't boot. No data, no fee.
Free diagnosis, honest answer
We tell you what's salvageable and whether it's economical before any invasive work. No charge to find out.
Same-day repair available, depending on parts and how busy we are. Board-level work and data recovery are quoted after the free diagnosis.

Pricing & warranty
Clear quote, then we get to work.
Pricing depends on model, part, and damage. You get a free diagnosis and a clear quote before any work.
Same-day repair available, depending on parts and how busy we are.
90-day warranty, parts and labour. Covers defects in the part and our workmanship, not new accidental damage.
Usually yes, and usually a lot cheaper than replacing the machine. A SATA → NVMe SSD swap + RAM bump + clean Windows install can make a 5-year-old PC feel new. We assess for free and only suggest the upgrade if it makes sense.
Yes, full malware scan, ransomware decryption where possible, browser cleanup and we install proper protection going forward. If it's badly infected we'll recommend a clean install with your files preserved.
Absolutely. Bring the whole build and any spare parts. We diagnose PSUs, motherboards, RAM compatibility, BIOS issues, and bad cable runs. We don't charge extra because you built it.
Occasionally, we have refurbished desktops on the floor. We can also spec and build a custom PC to your budget; talk to VJ about a quote.
Yes, we always image your drive before invasive work. If we're doing a Windows reinstall we move your Documents, Pictures and Desktop folders across, plus your saved browser passwords.
Basic diagnostics often happen within 24–48 hours. Simple repairs like a power-supply swap or drive replacement may be completed the same day or next day, depending on parts availability and workload. More complex issues can take longer for proper testing.
For most desktop PC issues you can just bring the tower. If you're having problems specifically with the monitor, keyboard, mouse, or cables, bringing those can help us test.
Yes. This usually points to a failing drive, cable issue, or boot-configuration problem. We can check the drive's health, connections, and settings, then advise on repair or data-recovery options.
Often, yes. Dust in fans and heatsinks, old thermal paste, and poor airflow can cause heat and noise. We can clean the system, refresh thermal paste, and check if any fans or components need replacement.
It can be. Occasional overheating usually just means dust and old thermal paste, but repeated overheating can trip a safety shutdown or damage the power supply or motherboard. We check thermals first, then test the PSU and board if it still won't power on.
Yes. It's usually a driver issue, a failing network card, or a loose cable rather than the whole PC being at fault. We test the adapter, drivers and connections, and can install or swap a network card if needed.
Intermittent issues can be tricky, but we can run tests on memory, drives, power, and temperatures to track down likely causes. Once we find the problem, we explain your options and costs.
Yes. We help with home PCs, student computers, and small-business systems. If you manage several office computers, we can discuss repair or upgrade options for multiple devices.
