I'm still very much a learner when it comes to computers, and when I brought my laptop here, I was met with so much patience and willingness to teach. I was given advice and help to know what I was getting into before the repair process began, and throughout the work he showed me and explained what he was doing, after I told him that I was trying to become more self-reliant when it comes to tech - so it wasn't just a case of, I had a problem and somebody fixed it, but that I had a problem and now I understand that problem, why it happened, and I have the confidence to figure much more of it out for myself if it happens again. Fantastic service.
The PC Expert managed to recover data from my hard drive at a fraction of the price I would have had to pay if this was sent away to a lab.
He also advised me on how to store my date and on the best hard drives out there.
The data recovered had files names and in 100% condition as they were previously.
Thoroughly professional, I couldn't recommend his service highly enough!
The PC Expert is absolutely fantastic. He is a lovely, helpful guy with huge technical knowledge, expertise, and experience.
He has fixed various laptop issues for me, most recently my daughter's HP laptop which completely stopped functioning the last workday before she was due to fly to the States for three months. Her university IT department told her it was likely a battery problem.
He immediately identified a firmware issue and spent well beyond his closing time fixing it. Great service. Highly recommended.
I would say that The PC Expert provides incredible service, the whole process was quick and efficient with fast and easy communication throughout! 5 stars!
The charging port for my laptop broke a week before the Christmas break and as a UNI student that is horrible timing.
All of my schoolwork was on my laptop, so I needed this fixed ASAP. The gentleman working there completely understood; guiding me through the different options I could consider, retrieved, and transferred data from my old laptop to a new one same day + no charge for diagnostic fee.
They even offered any repairs at a 50% discount. I’m grateful.
I had the pleasure of seeking help from The PC Expert recently to improve and upgrade the performance of two laptops.
I couldn’t be more thrilled with the service I received.
The level of knowledge and dedication displayed by The PC Expert was truly outstanding.
THE PC Expert took the time to patiently explain the various ways I could enhance my laptop’s performance.
His expertise was evident as he provided me with fantastic tools and resources to identify the specific hardware upgrades I needed.
With his guidance, I was able to make informed decisions and find the perfect components to give my laptops a much-needed boost.
What impressed me even more was The PC Expert’s efficiency in scheduling a time to address both of my laptops.
I had initially considered replacing them, but The PC Expert assured me that they could breathe new life into my machines.
Both laptops are functioning as if they are brand new!
I would highly recommend The PC Expert to anyone seeking tech help and advice.
Literally saved me from purchasing two more laptops!
Will recommend to family and friends.
Reliable and trustworthy.
Thank you, THE PC Expert, for giving my laptops a new lease of life!

I found The PC Expert through Google and I would highly recommend him to anyone even thinking about laptop repairs or upgrades.
I took my 5-year-old HP laptop to The PC Expert with some new parts and asked him to fit them.
He clearly explained the procedure, any possible issues, and the method.
The upgrades were done right In-front of me for complete piece of mind.
While the upgrades were being carried out several customers walked in, and they were given some great advice and it’s clear to see that The PC Expert isn’t here to make a quick buck.
He gives honest advice and does everything he can to help the customer save some money.
Again, I can’t thank The PC Expert enough and would highly recommend.
Thanks again!
