Founded in 2000, Dr IT Services is Birmingham’s trusted, independent provider of Computer Repairs and Data Recovery. For 25 years, we’ve helped students, families, and local businesses recover lost files, fix failing devices, and get back online quickly and affordably.

The business was started by Vlad Tabaranu, who grew from the teenager everyone called when their computer crashed into the engineer behind one of Birmingham’s top-rated repair services. What began with rescuing a friend’s exam files in Romania has grown into an award-winning local brand that treats every job with the same care – whether it’s a student’s dissertation, a business’s accounts, or a family’s wedding photos.

Our Mission & Values

  • Genuine Care – Behind every device is a person and a story. We protect your data like it’s our own.
  • Honesty Always – If a device isn’t worth fixing, we’ll tell you. Clear diagnostics, no surprises.
  • Education Over Sales – We’d rather teach you how to avoid problems than sell services you don’t need.
  • Community First – Birmingham is our home. We support students, families, and businesses alike.
  • Craftsmanship Pride – From virus removals to complex RAID recoveries, every job gets full attention.
