We came across … More Dr IT Services and were lucky enough to be able to book Vlad on the same day. He very speedily diagnosed and fixed our laptop on the same day, and for a very reasonable price. We cannot recommend Vlad enough for his computer repair services!

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.

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!

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.

I was stuck. Really busy and relying on my laptop and it stopped working. What to do? Take it to a repair shop but, which one? So, search reviews, phone a couple of people and the one that seemed to come up with good reviews and also speedy term around … More was Dr IT services.The machine went down there even though it was someway from my home. Good decision! Repaired in the day with a very clear explanation as to what was wrong and assurance that the computer was like new – it is – and then a very helpful tutorial as to what to look out for in the future to make sure it stays in good nick. From beginning to end there was a feeling of competence matched by courtesy. I will certainly be returning should I have any further issues. Great service.

The laptop that I use for university had been disturbed by a water leak in my backpack. The screen was broken but was at a level which was fine for the laptop to completely operate and to slightly still see things on the screen. However hours after on … More the same day after the leak, the laptop screen was completely broken which showed the flashing of bright lights. The next day after continuously looking for reliable technicians, I saw Dr IT Services (Vlad) and decided to give him a call. I explained the situation to him and he gave me an educated and knowledgeable response on to what might be the issue with my laptop. I asked him if I could come to him physically to see what the issue was and he politely accepted the offer. He had an intensive look at my laptop and concluded that it was only the screen that had been damaged and nothing else. He then offered me a very exceptional laptop screen repair service that was incredibly affordable. He repaired my laptop and I could honestly say that he did an amazing job. I highly recommend Vlad due to his excellent knowledge, professionalism and kindness.

When the hard drive failed on my laptop I asked Vlad to take a look. He suggested replacing it with an SSD and loading a new version of the O/S. The latter proved more difficult than expected because the BIOS had been locked with an unknown password so … More the machine wouldn't boot from the installation media. Vlad found a way round this problem at no extra cost to me and to my delight the repaired machine was considerably faster than before because of the SSD.I've subsequently used Vlad twice more. My wife, who is disabled, needed a new laptop which would handle speech recognition software. I sent Vlad the spec and he found me a refurbished laptop which met the spec easily at a fraction of the price of a new machine. He also installed some essential software.Finally, following the considerable increase in performance of my first laptop when upgraded with a SSD I asked Vlad to do my second machine. Not only did he install the SSD he copied all of my data and reinstalled all of the programs within the quoted price.I recommend Vlad highly, he's always willing to go the extra mile and very quickly sees to any omissions or misunderstandings. I've also found him willing to advise an old customer.

I spent time looking for the right repair shop here in Birmingham everywhere else either had many mixed reviews or questionable reputation. Up until I came across Dr IT Services, his reviews really caught my eye and earned my trust.I came in with a laptop … More that overheats and a swollen battery. His diagnosis and communication was top notch, gave me options, and quoted me at a really great price compared to other places. What really stood out with me is that he really made this fix cost effective, he never once sold me/forced me on anything I didn’t need, he was very honest with what I needed. With this being my first ever repair experience I really felt comfortable with Vlad’s service.If you’re searching on Google for a trustworthy service look no further, Dr IT Service is the one!I will definitely be coming back for my future PC repair needs.
