Computer repair in St. Albert
PC, Mac, laptop and server repair for homes and businesses in St. Albert and the Edmonton area. Free estimates, most repairs back the same or next day.
Since 2000, homes and businesses in St. Albert and around Edmonton have brought us the computers they rely on. Windows PCs, Macs, laptops, all-in-ones and servers.
- Remote first for the small stuff. Slow, pop-ups, email, printers: often fixed in a remote session while you watch.
- Drop-off for the real problems. Won’t boot, failing drive, dead power supply: book a time and bring it to the bench.
- Businesses welcome, in bulk. A server, a batch of office machines, a laptop fleet, tested on the bench with proper tools.
Sound familiar? We fix these every day.

What it covers
Desktop and PC repair
Won’t start, blue screens, failing drives, power supplies and dead motherboards diagnosed and fixed, usually the same or next day.
Mac repair
iMacs and MacBooks, from slow and full to won’t boot. If Apple is the better place for it, we say so and send you there.
Virus and malware removal
Pop-ups, scams, ransomware and browser hijacks removed, a check for anything left behind, and advice on how it got in. See the virus removal page.
Slow computer tune-up
Startup clean-up, updates, junk removal and the three things usually to blame. Often paired with a solid-state drive, which feels like a new computer.
Upgrades
Solid-state drives, memory, graphics cards and power supplies installed and set up, with your data and programs moved over.
Windows and macOS reinstall
A clean install with your files, printer, email and settings put back, and the trial junk left out.
Data recovery
Deleted files, formatted drives, failing hard disks and dead SSDs. We recover your data or you do not pay.
Business and bulk repairs
Servers, office workstations and laptops, dropped off in batches. On the bench with proper tools and testing, they come back faster than a diagnosis attempted at your desk.
Drop-off, remote or on-site
Drop it off by appointment at our home-based shop in St. Albert, book a remote session, or have a technician come to your home or office in St. Albert or the Edmonton area.
Our full checkup
The 25-point inspection
The free estimate is a hardware test and a diagnosis: we find what is wrong, call you, and quote a firm price before any work. The 25-point inspection goes further, through the whole machine, and is quoted like any other job.

Questions we get
How much does computer repair cost in St. Albert?
The estimate is free, and it is a real one: a hardware test and a diagnosis on the bench, not a glance. You get a firm number before any work, and most repairs come in well under the price of a new machine. If it is not worth fixing, we tell you.
Do you repair laptops and MacBooks?
Yes. Windows laptops, MacBooks, iMacs, desktops and all-in-ones. Screens, keyboards, batteries, charging ports, drives and the software side.
How long does a repair take?
You hear from us within 24 hours with the estimate. Most repairs are back the same or next day once you say yes. Parts that have to be ordered can add a few days; we tell you up front.
Can you fix it without me dropping it off?
Often, yes. Slow computers, viruses, email and printer problems are usually fixed in a remote session while you watch. If it turns out to be hardware, we book a drop-off.
Is my data safe with you?
Yes. Your files stay on your machine unless a recovery needs a copy, and copies are removed when the job is done. We tell you before touching anything.
Do you work with businesses?
Yes, a lot of them. Offices drop off a server or a batch of workstations by appointment and get them back the same or next day, tested on the bench. For the day-to-day small problems we connect remotely, and we come on site when hands are needed.
Which areas do you serve?
Drop-offs in St. Albert, by appointment. Remote help anywhere. On-site visits in St. Albert and the Edmonton area.
Ready when you are. Call, or book a time that suits you.
