Computer repair near you
A broken computer does not always need to be replaced.
Many systems that appear dead, extremely slow, or unreliable can be repaired, upgraded, or recovered for significantly less than replacement. DriveTech works with Windows PCs, MacBooks, iMacs, laptops, desktops, storage devices, networks, and business technology.

Before you visit
Clear answers about repair and service.
Call if the computer contains important data, has liquid damage, or is making unusual mechanical sounds.
Do you repair both Mac and Windows computers?
Yes. DriveTech diagnoses MacBooks, iMacs, Windows laptops, desktops, and custom-built PCs, along with storage, startup, display, battery, charging, overheating, and operating-system problems.
Should I call before bringing in a computer?
Walk-ins are welcome during business hours. Call first if the situation is urgent, involves active data loss, liquid damage, or a device making unusual mechanical noises.
Can a slow computer be upgraded instead of replaced?
Sometimes. Compatible computers may benefit from an SSD, memory, software repair, cleanup, or data migration. DriveTech evaluates the model and condition before recommending an upgrade.
Can DriveTech recover my data?
DriveTech evaluates failed hard drives, SSDs, external drives, deleted files, corrupted systems, and computers that will not start. What is possible depends on the failure and what has already been attempted.
Do you help businesses as well as individuals?
Yes. Consumer repair and data recovery use the local repair path. Business IT, networks, Microsoft 365, firewalls, backups, and cybersecurity use a separate consultation and project path.
