Ottawa Service Area

From a Recent Job

A Recent Job in Nepean

A customer in Nepean recently called because her HP desktop had "just gotten slow" — minutes to boot and freezing on every click. She assumed she needed a new computer. The diagnosis showed a healthy machine choked by bloatware and an overloaded startup list, not failing hardware. We cleared it out and trimmed the startup programs, and it was responsive again in about 50 minutes — no new computer needed.

Recovering 2.3TB From a Failed Office NAS

When a Gatineau accounting firm's four-bay NAS dropped offline with one drive already dead and a second failing, most shops would have sent it to a lab. Our CompTIA A+ technician imaged the dying member drive sector-by-sector on-site before touching the array, rebuilt it read-only, and recovered the full 2.3 TB — every client file and database intact, without a single disk leaving their office. That's the difference between a drop-off shop and a technician who comes to you.

We'll give you a free, no-obligation estimate before any work begins. Every job is quoted upfront — you'll always know the price before we touch your equipment.

Absolutely. If we determine the issue can't be resolved (which is rare), or if the cost of repair exceeds the value of the device, we'll tell you honestly and you won't be charged for the visit. We'd rather earn your trust than make a quick buck.

We cover all of Ottawa — Downtown, Kanata, Barrhaven, Orleans, Nepean, Stittsville, and everywhere in between. We also serve Gatineau, Aylmer, and Hull. Basically, if you're in the National Capital Region, we'll come to you.

That's totally fine — most of our clients aren't tech experts. Just describe the symptoms in plain language ("it's slow," "it won't turn on," "weird pop-ups keep appearing") and we'll diagnose it when we arrive. You can also select "Tech Consultation" and we'll figure it out together.

Yes! Our technicians are certified in both Windows and macOS. We handle Mac repairs, upgrades, malware removal, data migration, and more. We also work with iPhones, iPads, and Android devices.

Your privacy is our top priority. All technicians are background-checked, and we never access personal files without your explicit permission. We sign confidentiality agreements, and you're welcome to watch every step of the repair process.

Every repair comes with a 90-day warranty. If the same issue returns within 90 days, we'll come back and fix it at no additional charge. For new parts we install, manufacturer warranties apply (typically 1-3 years).

Just call (613) 416-9482 and a certified technician comes to you.

Yes — seniors, veterans, students, and first responders get 10% off their service. It can't be combined with our $25-off-first-service offer, so we'll simply apply whichever saves you more. Just mention it when you book.
