A full check of a computer's drive, updates, security, startup items, backups and cooling, with a written list of findings.
A full check of a computer's drive, updates, security, startup items, backups and cooling, with a written list of findings. We cover all of Hibiscus Coast - Orewa, Silverdale, Whangaparaoa and the streets around them.
Repairs on the Coast are largely home computers, laptops, printers and Macs, along with scam and virus clean-ups. Many requests come from retirees who received a convincing fake call or email, and we clean up and secure the computer afterwards.
From $135 + GST + $30 call-out ($185.25 incl. GST)
- A written findings list in plain English
- Nothing removed without asking you first
- Clear advice on whether the machine is worth keeping

Visiting sites in Hibiscus Coast

We work right across the area, including:

Computer Health Check & Tune-up in Hibiscus Coast: questions
Do you visit retirement villages on the Hibiscus Coast?
Yes. We visit homes and villages across Orewa, Whangaparaoa, Red Beach and Silverdale. Let us know if there is a reception sign-in or a visitor parking area.
Can you finish the data cabling in my new Millwater home?
Yes. We test the cables already installed, terminate them, fit a patch panel or switch where needed and connect the points to your router or access points.
Do you work with businesses in Silverdale?
Yes. We cover the Silverdale commercial and industrial area as well as Orewa and Whangaparaoa, for networks, cabling, CCTV, PCs, printers and backups. Many owner-run firms there have no IT person, so we keep notes of what we did.
Do you do computer health check & tune-up in Orewa?
Yes. We cover all of Hibiscus Coast, including Orewa, Silverdale, Whangaparaoa, Red Beach, Millwater, Stanmore Bay.
My computer is quite old. Is a tune-up worth it?
Often it is, particularly if the slowness comes from clutter or a failing drive rather than age itself. If the computer can no longer run supported updates or the hardware is failing, we will say so honestly rather than tune a machine that should be retired.
