    My desktop PC failed so after searching for someone local to investigate, I was very fortunate to have found Pete's Computer Services. After Pete looked at my PC it was found to be u/s. So after purchasing a new PC, Pete set up it up and explained in detail the new configeration which was extremely helpful. Would happily recommend Pete.

    Wonderful.  We were very stressed when the computer packed up on us.  Phoned Peter and he looked at the computer the same day (Bank Holiday) and we had it back the following day completely fixed.  What a relief. Would thoroughly recommend Pete.

  • Jan & Bob Chuck

    It's lockdown and my Laptop stopped running.... Help!  On BBC South saw Pete being interviewed and it was said he was open for business..... We live in Shanklin so phoned Pete... 3 days later laptop repaired plus a competitively priced new printer in our possession... Big Thanks Pete.

  • Ian Barker

    Thanks to Pete for his time and advice, and ultimately for fixing my big black box. Pete was polite and understanding and went beyond the norm to fix my machine and ultimately keep my little business running. He then took my useless laptop, and returned a perfectly working version the next day. I can't speak highly enough of his service and standards. Great stuff.

  • Mike Parry
    Recently I bought a refurbished HP laptop from Pete's. Suddenly without warning it "died" on me.
    I contacted Pete and I was up and running again within about an hour. Pete soon diagnosed that it wasn't the lap top, but a faulty charger/lead. He did not have a replacement lead in his workshop, and even though we were in lock down, he went to his shop and provided me with a new lead.
    Superb customer service....Rolls Royce standard at a Morris Minor price. Well not even Morris Minor because he did not charge me for the new lead.
    Highly recommended. Thanks again Pete!
  • Paul & Julie
    Thank you so much for your help and assistance on replacing our old computer, monitor and keyboard. The products that you sold us we feel were outstanding value for money and the set up at home was a breeze with all your advice. Keep up the good work. We will be recommending you to family and friends. Thank you for your 5* service.
  • Robert Timms
    Pete is great on all aspects of computers, would not use anyone else, excellent service
  • Richard Wood

    Well let’s start at the beginning….
    I have a car, however I do not understand how the engine works !!!!
    I have a tower computer, however I have no idea how it works !!!!!
    The first mistake was downloading a programme that was advertised on the Daily Mail news pages …. FIRST MISTAKE.
    The SECOND MISTAKE was when it messed up my computer and I tried to fix it.
    THIRD MISTAKE was as I tried to correct the messed up computer I only made it worse.
    Now we come to the FIRST CORRECT thing I did.
    I took my computer around to Peter’s computer repairs at 11.00 hours on Thursday the 19th March 2020 and left it in their tender care.
    The following day, at 1100 hours, I received a phone call from Peter to inform me my computer was up and running. They had saved all my files and updated what was required and of course removed the evil program.
    So the story is, if you have a problem with your computer Peter is the man !!!!! This is service of a fist class standard.

  • Juliet Roberson
    It is by far the best computer shop on IOW and Pete is the most helpful knowledgeable computer wizard
  • Karen Harbour

    Amazing service and price. My computer tried to do up dates but they did not complete meaning I could not use my computer at all and as I run my own business without my computer I cannot do anything. Pete all I can say is thank you so much for your polite, friendly and professional service and amazing price. Will recommend you very highly.

  • Ann monk

    Took my laptop in to be upgraded to windows 10, Pete had it all done and back to me within 24 hours and all for just £26. Excellent service

  • Daniel Longfellow

    I have used this service last week & the guy was very helpful & steered me in the right direction thereby saving me a lot of money. Excellent service.

  • Malcolm Alder-Smith

    I took my Tosh’ laptop to Pete’s, as my DVD optical reader had ceased to communicate with my computer and operations had become very laboured. Pete had a quick look and said I need a replacement DVD reader. He also noted how slow the computer was performing, so I left it with him for the day. He ‘cleaned’ up the computer, getting rid of a lot of unnecessary files and lurking viruses, cleaning up the disc, leaving me with a much faster computer than it was previously. Pete found a new replacement DVD reader online and I took my Tosh’ back to him again to have it fitted. As the new DVD reader, came with a black drawer cover, Pete even took the grey coloured one off the old reader and put it onto the new, so my computer now looks as good as new.

  • Jennie

    Fast, friendly and highly professional service.

  • Ann Monk

    So quick and efficient. My computer is now so fast. Thank you

  • Mark Gibbons

    I took my laptop into his shop that is within Shanklin town. It was running very slow and just takes 10 minutes to load. He had it for just over a day and I have just got it back, the speed has vastly improved. Excellent Sevice Would Recommend to friends and family.

  • Nicola French

    Our laptop was in desperate need of a ‘service’. Pete was great as he had to spend quite a considerable amount of extra time on it, but it is now up to date and working like a dream.

  • PMC

    Peter has been servicing and repairing my computers since 2000. He has always given excellent service and has put himself out to help me on several occasions, as he did again this time. I can thoroughly recommend him.

  • Sue Lax

    Pete was great. Computer totally not working so he took it in and sorted it out completely. Really helpful and friendly

  • Ralph Wilson

    My Vaio laptop is quite old. The screen was not working and it was so slow. I had decided to dump it but thought I would give it one last chance. Took it to Pete who gave it a health check, clearing up old files and viruses that had crept in. Laptop now back in full working order, much quicker and screen working.

  • John Green

    Efficient, very professional with customer care as well as computer problems

  • Harry Wall

    My old computer needed a first class service which Peter gave it. Highly recommended to all who need a fast and professional service on their computer.

  • Yvonne

    Peter was a great help on more than one occasion recently. He went out his way to help us in both a professional and friendly manner. Thanks again. We will certainly be recommending him.

  • T&Y

    Pete’ s first class service was delivered in a most friendly and professional way. Would not hesitate to recommend him in the future.

  • CG

    Bought a reconditioned laptop from Pete after spilling water on my old one. Ended up with a Dell. Super machine considering the price. Serves my purposes 100%. I would have no hesitation in recommending Pete for all laptop/computer requirements.

  • Peter Dodson

    After many experiences with inferior so-called “computer experts”, who I have paid a lot of money to, I found Pete. He sorted all the problems I was having with my laptop and his fee was very reasonable. Long may he continue in business.

  • Gillian

    I have recently been to Pete’s Computer Services and would highly recommend him and his service. I am not very technically minded and Pete soon realised this and soon started to speak in a way I could understand and everything became much clearer. Pete was really helpful and even managed to save me money on my purchase. If I have a problem I know I would make Pete my first point of call!

  • Sue Stead

    Been going to Pete for years, always sorts my computer out. Put Windows 10 on for me and it is so much easier than I thought it would be. Thanks Pete.

  • Allan

    An excellent and very professional service. I took my Toshiba lap-top in as it was coming up with various warnings regarding my computer was not turning off correctly. Pete fixed the problem and run a health check on my computer. Its never worked better a lot faster than it was. So a big thank you to Pete.

  • Ian Dockay

    Excellent service, and where you also get more for your money … I highly recommend it. Thanks Pete!!

  • John Evans

    Following a system crash which ‘wiped’ the operating system, programmes and data from my desktop, Pete analysed the problem, performed a service and restored the functionality very quickly. He also replaced the broken DVD-RW. An extremely professional service, moderate prices.

Computer Repairs

Hardware & Software Troubleshooting

I can perform a diagnosis on your computer to determine the problem on your computer, and make sure it is up and running in no time.

I can determine if the problem is a hardware issue or a software issue, just leave that to me.

I can obtain components getting you the best deal possible and then we can quickly and professionally install the component.

I can efficiently perform a clean-up on your computer and to ensure that no data is lost, I also offer a backup of data for you.

If your computer is running slowly, I also perform a series of System tune-ups to make sure that your computer is rid of legacy software components, so as to get the most out of your computer’s speed.

Regular deleting of your temporary internet files and deleting old digital photographs, music and other files from your computer can help keep your PC running smoothly but if it has significantly slowed down this is where one of our comprehensive clean-ups can improve overall performance.

Virus, Spyware and Malware infections are unfortunately all too common on PC’s and Laptops these days. No matter how vigilant you think you are being some virus can still infect your computer if they are determined enough.
