Repairs are done on a first come, first served basis.  Items can be dropped off at our shop anytime and they will be added to the service queue.  

Emergency service is available for a fee if you need something done immediately.

For some service work it is possible to book an appointment and have the work done the same day.  Please phone the office to book.

Working with Your Data

Pictures, Music, Movies, Documents and other information on your hard drive is irreplaceable. You must backup your data - only YOU can be responsible for your information.

We try very hard to protect the information on every computer that we work on, and we offer backup services as part of our repair process, however:

WE CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOSS OF ANY DATA ON ANY COMPUTER BROUGHT TO OUR FACILITY, REGARDLESS OF THE REASON FOR THE LOSS, INCLUDING PART FAILURE AND ACCIDENTAL ERASURE.

IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT ABOUT YOUR DATA SECURITY, PLEASE TALK TO US BEFORE ASKING US TO PROCEED WITH ANY REPAIR.

We would be pleased to copy your data onto a new external hard drive that you can purchase and take home with you prior to our working on the computer if you have not backed it up yourself.

In the event that a drive is damaged, accidentally erased or otherwise does not contain data that you need, we have a variety of in-house and external data recovery options.  These are all costly!  If you do not want to lose your information BACK IT UP.
