Computer repair in Miami, usually same day
PCs and laptops that have got slow, keep crashing, throw errors, or won't start at all. I come to you in Brickell and the surrounding neighborhoods, or fix it remotely from wherever you are. Flat price agreed before I start.
What I repair
Windows PCs and laptops are my specialty, desktops included. These are the calls I get most weeks:
- Slow computers. The machine that used to boot in twenty seconds and now takes four minutes.
- Crashing and freezing. Random restarts, programs locking up, the mouse stopping dead.
- Blue screens. Usually a driver, failing memory or a dying drive, and each has a different fix.
- Won't turn on or won't reach Windows. Boot loops, "no bootable device", spinning dots forever.
- Windows update failures. Updates that have quietly been failing for a year and are now a security problem.
- Overheating and loud fans. Very common in Miami. Usually dust and dried thermal paste.
- Full hard drives. "Low disk space" warnings and a machine that can't breathe.
- SSD and RAM upgrades. The cheapest way to make an older laptop feel new.
What it costs
Flat rates, quoted before I start, and they don't move because the job ran long. Most repair shops in Miami bill $75 to $150 an hour, which means the number is a surprise at the end.
| Repair | Price |
|---|---|
| Cleanup & speed tune-up | $99 |
| Virus & malware removal | $129 |
| Remote fix (software problems) | $89 |
| On-site visit | $129 |
| SSD or RAM upgrade (labor, parts at cost) | $99 |
| New computer setup & data transfer | $149 |
Is it worth repairing, or should you replace it?
This is the question behind most calls, and the honest answer is more often "repair" than people expect. A five-year-old laptop that takes four minutes to start is almost always suffering from a mechanical hard drive, not old age. An SSD and a clean install for around $200 including the part will make it faster than it was new.
Replace it when the screen or motherboard has failed, when it can't run a supported version of Windows, or when the repair cost gets close to half of what a new machine costs. I'll tell you which situation you're in before you spend anything, and buying advice is free whether or not you hire me. I don't sell hardware, so there's nothing in it for me either way.
How the repair works
1
Describe the problem
Call, text or use the form. I'll tell you if it can be fixed remotely, which is faster and cheaper.
2
Flat quote first
You get the price before anything starts. Parts, if any are needed, are quoted separately at cost.
3
Fixed and tested
I back your files up first, do the work, then show you what changed. No fix, no fee.
Where I repair computers
On-site across Brickell, Brickell Key, Downtown Miami, Edgewater and Coconut Grove. I live in a Brickell tower, so for a lot of buildings around here getting to you is a walk rather than a drive, which is why same-day is normal rather than a favor.
Remote repair works anywhere in Miami and beyond, at the same $89 flat rate, and it solves the majority of software problems without either of us travelling. Weighing this against a national chain or a marketplace app? Here's the honest comparison.
Important files not backed up? Say so when you book. If a drive is failing, the order of operations matters, and the wrong first step can turn a recoverable situation into a lost one. Failed-drive data recovery itself is specialist work I refer out rather than attempt.
Questions
Computer repair FAQs
How much does computer repair cost in Miami?
Mine are flat: $99 for a cleanup, $129 for virus removal, $89 remote, $129 for an on-site visit with no trip charge. Most local shops quote $75 to $150 an hour instead, so you don't know the total until they're done.
Can you fix it the same day?
Usually. I'm based in Brickell, so most visits are same-day or next morning, and remote sessions typically start within the hour.
Do I need to bring it to a shop?
No. I come to you, or work remotely. You never have to unplug everything and drive it somewhere.
Do you work on Apple computers?
Windows is what I do. If you have a Mac, I'd rather point you to someone who works on them daily than learn on your machine.
What if you can't fix it?
You don't pay. That's what no fix, no fee means. Hardware you approved in advance is the only exception.
