Dr IT Services is Birmingham’s most trusted name for computer repair, Mac repair, and data recovery. Since 2000, we’ve been the independent choice for IT repairs in Harborne, Edgbaston, and across the West Midlands — helping students, families, and small businesses recover lost data and restore their technology with care and precision.

We’re not just another computer repair shop — we’re your local technology partner.

Who We Are

Founded in 2000 by Vlad Tabaranu, Dr IT Services began as a one-person workshop in Harborne, Birmingham. With a background in medical bioengineering and over 25 years of technical experience, Vlad built the company on three foundations: honesty, craftsmanship, and genuine customer care.

Today, Dr IT Services is one of Birmingham’s highest-rated independent IT service providers, known for trusted diagnostics, expert repairs, and award-winning data recovery. From rescuing university dissertations and business accounts to retrieving once-in-a-lifetime photos — we’ve seen it all and fixed it all.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple:
To restore your technology and your peace of mind with honesty, skill, and care.

We believe in transparency and education. When we repair your device, we also teach you how to prevent future issues. We’re here to make technology easier, safer, and more reliable for everyone in Birmingham and the West Midlands.

Our Vision

To be Birmingham’s most trusted independent IT repair company, combining technical excellence with genuine local service. We’re proud to support our neighbours across Harborne, Edgbaston, Moseley, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, Dudley, and the wider West Midlands region.

Our vision is to keep Birmingham’s technology running — one laptop, Mac, and hard drive at a time.

Our Core Values

  • Genuine Care: Every device holds memories, work, or creativity. We treat your data like it’s our own.
  • Honesty Always: No jargon, no upsells — just clear diagnostics and real advice.
  • Education Over Sales: We prefer to teach you how to protect your tech rather than sell unnecessary services.
  • Community First: Birmingham is home. We support local students, freelancers, and small businesses every day.
  • Craftsmanship Pride: Whether it’s Mac repair, RAID recovery, or Windows troubleshooting, every job is handled with skill and pride.
