Slow computer repair in Rancho Palos Verdes

Takes minutes to start, freezes, or the fan runs all the time: often it's too many programs starting with Windows, an old hard drive, or not enough memory.

A clean-up helps most computers. On older ones with a spinning hard drive, a solid-state drive (SSD) makes the biggest difference. Your files and programs are moved over.

Drop-off is by appointment. I'm often out on house calls, so please call or text before coming by. On-site visits available.

October launch offer: Free diagnostic (normally $45) + $20 off your first repair of $75 or more. One per customer. Mention the website when you call or text. Ends Oct 31, 2026.

Questions

Is an SSD upgrade worth it?

On a computer with an old hard drive, yes. Startup usually goes from minutes to seconds.

How much does a diagnostic cost?

$45 per device (free during the October offer). It's waived if you go ahead with the repair, and there's no charge if it can't be fixed.

Are parts included?

Each price is marked. "Part included" means the price is all-in. "+ part" means I quote the part for your exact model before ordering, so you know the full total before you say yes. You can also bring your own part.

Will I lose my files?

Most repairs don't touch your data. When a reinstall is needed, the "reinstall + data backup" service saves your documents, photos, desktop and bookmarks first and restores them afterward.
