Looking for computer repair in Thornhill? I’m James, and I’ve been fixing laptops and PCs for people across Dumfries & Galloway since 2012. I’m ex-Royal Signals with 20+ years in IT, and you deal with me directly from first call to collection.

Thornhill and the villages of Nithsdale are a short drive down the A76. If you’re further up the glens, such as Moniaive or Penpont, try remote support first. It’s ideal when broadband is good enough for a video call.

Whether it’s a slow laptop, a virus, Windows that won’t start, lost photos or email that won’t sync, you get an honest diagnosis and a clear idea of cost before any work goes ahead. No jargon, no upselling. Sorted, without the drama.
