I found Dr IT - aka Vlad sir, incredibly professional and extremely knowledgeable. I found Dr IT from an online search, and my laptop was up and working … More after 24 hours. Quickly identified the problem and fixed it. Price was reasonable. But the quality of repair cannot be faulted. My laptop was overheating and now it runs smooth, the fan can be heard and it's a relief that I did not have to immediately buy a new one. Vlad sir, is extremely near to me and his business being so reliable and so close is a gem. His personality, way of dealing with his clients is rare. I appreciated the opportunity to come across him and would recommend him not only to people I know but to anyone who reads this review.

Just adding another great review to Dr IT's record! The hinges on my laptop gave in, leaving me in a precarious position. As I was in a position to … More delivery the machine myself, I was able to drop it off at the business. Vlad was very personable, knowledgeable, and great at translating my over-Googled terminology into a plan of action. My laptop was returned to me in great shape, not only with new, strong hinges, but a fresh install of the Operating System and a few other small replacements, which Vlad and I had discussed.Overall, this was an excellent customer experience, I felt everything was clearly explained in a way I could understand and Vlad kept me updated about how my repairs were going. I would recommend Dr IT's services to anyone in the area who is having personal computing troubles.
