Headingley
How we work here
Headingley, LS6, sits north west of the centre and it is a laptop part of Leeds more than a desktop one. A lot of people here rent, a lot are students or early in their careers, and a lot live in shared houses and flats where the broken machine is the only one in the room. That shapes how we work: we come to the door, we are happy to look at a laptop in a bedroom of a house-share rather than expecting a desk and a monitor, and if you do not have a car we can collect the machine and bring it back rather than leaving you to sort transport.
We come to you in Headingley, at home or wherever you are working, day or night, Sunday to Friday. If it is easier, or if the fault means the machine needs longer on the bench, we can collect it and return it once it is done. There is no walk-in shop and no counter to queue at, and advice by message is free whichever way the machine reaches us.

How it works
Free advice by message, a call-out quoted first, then a fixed price
- Tell us the fault, free. Send an enquiry and describe what is wrong. We will tell you what it sounds like, whether it is worth doing, and whether we can sort it over a remote link without anybody travelling. That conversation costs nothing.
- A minimum call-out, quoted first. If it needs a visit, we agree the call-out before we travel, so you know it before you commit to anything. It comes off the price if you go ahead with the repair.
- A fixed quote. Once we have seen the machine you get a clear, fixed price before any work starts. No surprises, no hourly meter running.
- We fix it, or there is no repair fee. Happy with the quote? We do the work. If we cannot fix the fault we quoted for, you do not pay for the repair.
Questions
The things people ask
I am a student and I have a deadline. Can you turn it around quickly?
Tell us the deadline when you get in touch and we will be straight with you about whether we can hit it. If the machine can be fixed in time we will say so, and if it cannot we will tell you rather than take the job and let you down. Either way the first priority is usually getting your files off safely so the deadline is not riding on the repair.
Do you fix MacBooks as well as Windows laptops?
Yes. A lot of laptops in Headingley are MacBooks, and we handle Mac repair alongside Windows PCs and laptops, screen replacements, SSD and RAM upgrades, virus and malware clean-ups and data recovery. Whatever you are on, advice by message is free and the quote comes before the work.
Someone spilled a drink on my laptop. Is it worth looking at?
Often, but time matters, so power it off and stop using it rather than trying to dry it out and switch it back on. We come to you or collect it, and we will open it up, tell you honestly what the liquid has reached, and quote before any work. Liquid damage is one where we will tell you plainly if a machine is not worth saving.
I live in a shared house. Do you need to come inside?
Only as far as makes sense. We are used to looking at a laptop in a bedroom of a house-share rather than expecting a spare desk, and if you would rather not have anyone in the house at all you can hand the machine over at the door or arrange for us to collect and return it.
I do not have a car. How do I get the laptop to you?
You do not have to. We come to you in Headingley, and if the repair needs a longer stint on the bench we can collect the machine and bring it back when it is done. There is no need to lug it on the bus or into the centre.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the fault and on your exact model, so we will not quote a number before we have looked. Advice by message is free, then you get one fixed quote before any work starts, and if we cannot fix it you pay nothing for the repair. How we price, and why there is no tariff, is set out on our prices page.
