💻 Frequent blue screens, application crashes, and file corruption are symptoms of malware infection or failing RAM
❗ Sluggish performance and long boot times often result from too many startup programs or a nearly-full hard drive

Dr IT Services - Computer Repair, Laptop Repair & Data Recovery
I contacted Vlad after my son fried my laptop by using his powerful charger in my less powerful laptop. I was very anxious.
He was very responsive when I made initial contact and I was above to drop my laptop off that morning.
The service was supremely… More professional and very quick. I even brought my son's laptop (which was broken and that is why he was using mine) to be fixed too.
I was given clear prices and expectations for how long the repairs would take. Both repairs were completed very quicker and exceeded expectations.
I would highly recommend Vlad.
Highly recommend.
I contacted Vlad as my laptop wasn’t working. (Would not power up). I dropped it off to him in the morning. Then later that day he was able to diagnose the fault and put forward a plan to resolve.
Unfortunately it was not economical… More to repair, but he was able to source the perfect replacement for my budget. Which I couldn't be more happy with. For a small fee he was able to transfer all my data over to the new device.
All turned around in a few days.
The service was fast, friendly and had great communication. I would highly recommend to anybody who needs their devices repairing.
Thanks Vlad.
Vlad is exceptional in IT related field.
He saved my data, it was like saving my life literally. At Dr IT services you can assured of a solution for your IT related problems, you can simply close your eyes and can trust him, guy is a genius, I be will… More working with him on several other projects once I am settled in. Thank you Dr IT services 😊
5/5 .
Merry Christmas Vlad..cheers see you around!
I bought an expensive gaming laptop which was shutting down whilst gaming, and I suspected it might be because the operating temperatures were too high.
I reached out to Vlad one morning and he offered to take a look at the laptop and repair it the same… More day. He was very polite and knowledgeable about the laptop I'd bought and about the CPU and GPU therein, and was aware that they were prone to overheating. He knew immediately what to do to fix it, so I left my laptop with him and shortly thereafter Vlad let me know that he had finished and the laptop was ready to collect. He was so efficient I could barely believe it! He took pictures throughout the process of the internals (before and after his repair) and showed me them on arrival.
I took the laptop home and sure enough the operating temps are ~15c less and the laptop now works perfectly. Thank you Vlad! And all for a very reasonable price. Please do not hesitate if you are thinking about using Vlad! If I need anything IT related from now on, Vlad will be my first point of call!
Exceptional service!!
We thought we had lost over 20 years of memories but Vlad at Dr IT Services managed to recover pretty much everything. There is no price to put on memories so to have recovered the data lost was beyond words for us.

Vlad was incredible! So generous with his time, explained everything so well and was great communicating. Cannot recommend him highly enough.Don't look around for someone else, if you've got a problem this is the guy you need to see!
Vlad is excellent to use. I was looking for a computer repair in the area and came across him. Contact very easy and dropped the laptop down straight away. My son had broken his screen. Good communication with Vlad and efficient repair. Kept me updated… More throughout the process. Reasonably priced. Overall, i wouod recommend Vlad if you need any repairs doing, i will be using him again if i need to

Vlad was really great. He was highly professional and very helpful in sorting out my problem which required a new motherboard. He did an excellent job fitting the new motherboard at a very good price.
He even helped me return the defective motherboard… More that was sent in error as I was outside the country, which reflects his helpful nature.
I have used his services more than once, and he helped me repair 3 different laptops. I don't go to anyone before asking him first for help.
I highly recommend that you talk to him if you have any issues with a PC before going to someone else.
Exceptional Service!!!I had some issues with my PC last week, with my SSD, and I thought I have lost my university assessments because my PC did not open anymore. Another issue was that I did not know anyone in my area that could fix my PC but I am glad… More that I have found and meet Vlad. He manage to fix my PC in one day just in time to be able to send my assessment to the university in time and the problem was solved.
