Call or book online with a brief description of the issue and your suburb. I’ll confirm whether we begin remotely or schedule an on-site visit

Diagnose → Repair → Tune

I run hardware tests, check system logs, and address the cause of the issue — not just the symptom. After repair, I complete a full tune-up and security check.

Got Questions

Why is my computer running so slow?

Slow performance can be caused by ageing hardware, too many background programs, failing drives, overheating, or software conflicts. I diagnose the exact cause and apply the repairs or tune-up needed to restore speed.

Can you fix a computer that keeps freezing or crashing?

Yes. Freezes and crashes are often caused by driver issues, overheating, faulty components, or corrupt system files. I identify the root cause and repair it so your computer becomes stable again.

My computer won’t start, can you help?

Absolutely. I repair boot failures, stuck updates, damaged system files, corrupt profiles, and other startup problems for both Windows and macOS. This will require an on-site service.

Will I lose my files during the repair?

Protecting your data comes first. I take every step to preserve your files, and I can set up proper backups if you don’t have one already.

Do you offer remote repairs?

Yes. Many issues can be repaired remotely, depending on the problem. For all Gold Coast clients, I begin with a face-to-face visit so I can check everything properly. After that, some follow-up work can be done remotely using a safe and secure connection. Not all repairs can be completed remotely, but I’ll use it whenever it’s the best and safest option.

Is my computer too old to repair or upgrade?

Not always. Many older computers run like new with an SSD, RAM upgrade, or a deep tune-up. I’ll give honest guidance on whether repair or replacement is the best choice.

Can you remove viruses, pop-ups, and malware?

Yes. I fully remove malware, clean your browsers, restore settings, and strengthen your security to prevent the problem from returning.

How much does a computer repair or tune-up cost?

You receive a clear quote before any work begins. Hardware (if needed) is paid up-front, and labour is billed only after installation or repair. No surprise fees.
