My laptop stopped working before going abroad and I needed this to finish my university assignments. I had less than a week and they fixed my laptop in no time.

My laptop had started to overheat a lot when running Adobe or gaming, however, was advised previously this is a structural issue with gaming laptops due to lack of airflow although this never used to happen before?

When the screen stopped working. I had tried a few DIY things that didn't work and had figured it needed to see a specialist. My dad took my laptop here based on recommendations. They knew what they're doing. They mentioned the issues were the fans collected too much dust and was overheating the processor (oops!), he advised replacing the fans he also added another RAM stick which I completelyyy forgot to do so glad it was brought up.

Glad to say the laptop is in good condition. It's still running smoothly, the fans are no longer going crazy when nothing is even running, not overheating so quickly as before and I'm happy I can still play sims too!

Highly recommend, no parts stolen very happy with the service thanks again

I had an excellent experience with Good As New Computer Repair Specialists. Steve quickly diagnosed and fixed an issue with my PC at a very affordable price, and the service was outstanding from start to finish.

What impressed me even more was that he offered to install my CPU cooler free of charge, which was incredibly generous and shows how much he values his customers.

Steve was friendly, welcoming, and professional throughout the entire process. He clearly has a great deal of knowledge and takes pride in his work, making sure everything is done properly and to a high standard. My PC is now running perfectly, and I couldn't be happier with the result.

I highly recommend Steve and Good As New Computer Repair Specialists to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and skilled computer repair services. Excellent workmanship, fantastic customer service, and great value for money. Thank you, Steve!

Excellent service from start to finish. Steve was incredibly helpful and took the time to explain the different options available for my gaming PC, offering honest advice on the best route to take. I couldnt be happier with the service I received and will definitely be returning in the future for any upgrades, repairs, or technical issues. Highly recommended!

Had problems with my laptop not charging. Took it to a computer repair shop who told me it needed a new motherboard, would take 2 weeks.
Wanted a 2nd opinion so took it to Steve at as good as new. He got the laptop charged and working again within the hour. Motherboard was fine, problem was faulty charge port.
He also tidied up some of the software for me.
Brilliant!

My sons pc encountered some issues that pushed my IT knowledge, so we booked in with Steve to have a diagnostic and he found the issue pretty quickly, as well as offered some suggestions to bolster the machine a bit more. He took care to explain what was happening and why and how to tackle it and within a couple of hours he had resolved the issue.
Great service from a genuine guy - if you are stuck with anything IT/tech related; speak with Steve first.

Steve is brilliant, I had needed a replacement keyboard on my laptop and gave it to a different repair centre which held it for months and apparently tried multiple keyboards and convinced me my laptop had some sort of short supply keyboard and that it was very hard to get hold of.

I took it to Steve came back less than a week later and collected my laptop and its been functioning perfectly for nearly an year and will continue to do so. Price he charges for the quality and speed that he provides is unmatched.

Very glad I found this repair shop and would recommend it to anyone who wants peace of mind knowing their devices are in good hands.

Had a problem with a computer that no other repair services wanted to help with and all told me there was no point. Spoke with Good as New and he asked me bring it in, had a look at it and had it all sorted for me within a week. Its honestly just nice to know that a service like this exists today. If I have any problems in the future I know where to go to. Couldnt recommend them more.

Efficient, communicative, amazing person, and simply very good at his job. I needed my laptop to be repaired quickly because of Uni exams, and hes done everything possible to fix it in time, so I appreciate it.

Personally, I couldnt recommend it enough!

I was highly recommended Good As New Computer Specialist by a friend who had used them before. I am so glad that I followed the recommendation because my computer upgraded, cleaned to a state that made it look "Good As New". Besides, Steve is very professional, friendly and his work did not cost me an arm and a leg. Thank you. I will definitely be seeing you again whenever i need an upgrade or a problem to fix with my computer.

I contacted Steve regarding cleaning up my laptop and installing Windows 11. I explained my knowledge of computers was nil. He explained everything to me, quoted a price which was more than fair. Now have a laptop that is working faster and better than before with Windows 11 installed. The final cost was cheaper than the quote.
Highly recommend.

I received a great service for my laptop which wasnt charging or powering on. I was provided with a simple solution, when I had previously been quoted 500 repairs by Samsung repairs! My laptop was also given a health check and updates and I received some useful information about security. Overall, I highly recommend and wouldnt hesitate to use again.

After having ordered a brand new custom PC from a retailer, it arived with issues and their customer service was awful.
I took it to Steve at Good As New Computer Repair and after a day or so it was working perfectly and has been since.
Regular contact throughout from Steve to let me know what he was doing or to ask permission to do other things.
Brilliant service, thanks Steve!

Steve was a pleasure to deal with. He upgraded my PC while I waited, as promised, and talked me through my options for future OS and board upgrades without and pressure. I left very satisfied and I will definitely be calling on Steve in a year or so when I'm ready to upgrade properly.

Excellent service, Stephen was quick to identify the problem with my laptop and managed to salvage the hard drive. A week later everything was ready and my laptop is now upgraded and working faster than ever. Would recommend Good as New to anyone with computer troubles!

I went to another pc repair guy where I was overcharged and more problems were caused then solved. I called this place and was able to drop the pc off on the same day where he was able to diagnose the problem and start finding solutions. As soon as the parts required arrived he inserted them into my pc. Not only did he repair it, but he also did a clean which I never asked and he upgraded my RAM for a really reasonable price. If you have any problems I would highly recommend this place.

It's always a little intimidating dealing with someone who is an expert in something you know nothing about - like car mechanics or plumbers - not so with Steve at 'Good As New' computer repairs. Not only was he surprisingly quick and great value for money but he took the time to explain to me the issues with my laptop so even I could understand. Without hesitation, I've given 5 stars and I would recommend 'Good As New' to any friend or relative. Thank you!

I was able to book an appointment online quickly and easily and Steve fixed my laptop screen within a few days, even with needing to order parts in. He is friendly and clearly very knowledgeable and went over and above to provide a fantastic service with great communication. I will definitely use this company again and am happy to recommend to anyone. Thank you!

Contacted to have a look at my Chromebook after I damaged a port, no one else would touch it. Communication was brilliant, kept me in the loop and didnt do anything I didnt want done. In the end nothing needed doing so they didnt charge me, I would definitely bring any electronics here to be fixed again and would highly recommend. Thank you!

Steve is not only excellent at what he does but his services are competitively priced, he is utterly reliable and a really great guy too. He replaced my screen in moments, having ordered and received the replacement in 24 hours and then helped more when the computer crashed (literally) causing additional damage before it even got to him! A credit to his trade, do not hesitate to take your computer problems to Steve - hell sort it.
