Looking for computer repairs in Ashford that are not a national chain? Advantec Computing is a small, independent computer repair shop in Tenterden — about 25 to 35 minutes from Ashford by car. We help Ashford customers with PC repairs, laptop problems, Mac issues, virus removal, data recovery, upgrades and email support, with honest advice and no upsell pressure.
Ashford is a much bigger town than ours, but plenty of customers prefer the calmer pace of a small Tenterden workshop where they can actually meet the person doing the repair. We help people from across Ashford — including Great Chart, Willesborough, Kennington and Park Farm — with everyday computer trouble.
Slow laptops, broken screens, charging faults, dead batteries, overheating, keyboards or trackpads that no longer work — we diagnose first and recommend honestly whether the repair is worth doing.

For complicated diagnostic work, data recovery, or jobs where you want straight advice rather than a chain-store sales pitch, many Ashford customers tell us it is. For very small jobs we may be able to advise over the phone before you make the trip.
We do not charge to look at a device and tell you what is wrong — only to carry out the repair once you have agreed to it.
A clicking drive is usually a sign of mechanical failure. Stop using it as soon as possible. Bring it in or call us — we can advise on the realistic chance of recovery and what it would involve.
For some software-only problems we can sometimes help by phone or remote session. Hardware faults and most repair work need the device in our hands. Call us to see if your particular problem is something we can handle remotely.
