I found GVC when I first moved to London 7 years ago. They fixed my laptop and I never forgot how helpful and friendly they were. When my current laptop recently stopped working, I was happy to find they still have their shop in the Queensway computer market. They were lightning fast with replacing my computer's hard drive and it's now running like a new computer. I really appreciate how upfront they are with their costs before beginning work and I never feel pressured into getting unnecessary work or upgrades done. I definitely recommend GVC for computer repairs and advice.

Simply the best in town! Excellent and rapid.

I can't thank Bas and Gamal enough. They sorted my laptop out after I was hacked. They are very knowledgeable and patiently explained to me what was needed to be done. Very quick service and I collected it in about 4 hours. The price was reasonable too. It was my first time using them and I highly recommend their service.

R. H.

Recently fixed my laptop at GVC and it works perfectly, apple was charging me double the price. They were quick and i was able to collect my laptop the next day. Its not the first time I have had them fix my computer, I also got a business mac fixed there. Great Service!

Basim and his colleagues at GVC are honest and helpful. They didn’t think it was worth me fixing a laptop and told me so, charging me very little for looking. He cleaned two laptops and set them up for my children very quickly. I recommend these guys!

S. S.

I cannot thank Gamal & his team enough. They repaired our PC & quickly. They were upfront about cost, which were very reasonable. I highly recommend this company. First class service. Thank you.

R.

Bassem was fantastic, replaced the battery for my laptop within 30 minutes. He also cleaned the inside of my laptop and gave the outside a good shine. Very good service and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a phone/laptop service.

S. G.

I wish I could recommend GVC even more. I work as a software contractor and my laptop is my livelihood. Apple quoted me two weeks without my machine and a price 5 times higher. GVC did the work overnight and had my machine ready next morning on a Saturday. I am so impressed with the service and quality offered here and have used them several times. Highly highly recommended!!

J. A.

I called up and explained my MAC had been dropped and brought it in. They immediately knew the MAC was fine datawise, but that the screen needed to be replaced. They had the spare screen in stock and I was able to collect my MAC within and hour. Nice guys. Happy to recommend.

T. T.

Fast, affordable, and quality service! I brought my laptop in with pretty significant water damage, hoping they could help me get it back to at least somewhat functioning order. They were super helpful, listened to all my concerns questions, and gave me options. I just wanted it to be functional not pretty, and they gave me options as to which parts they could fix and for how much, which was so much more helpful than the guy at the apple store. What would have been a £500+ fix at the apple store was £120 here, and the turn around time was 3 days instead of 15+. Overall a great experience here!

M.

I approached this company in February 2019 after a call describing the issues I was having with my computer.. Needless to say, after dropping off my computer, they went above and beyond by not only fitting it with a new hd ssd and power supply, but upgrade my windows operating system as well. The only mistake I made is forgetting to tell them to save my Mozilla Firefox bookmarks I had saved over the years. Sorry I took so long to rate your excellent service but I've finally kept to my promise. Great work Bassem, Gamal and Igor.

K. H.

GVC offered us exemplary service and was a thoroughly positive experience from start to finish. Bass and the other staff were all personable, gracious and very efficient. They sorted out two of our Apple Macs swiftly and effectively during ‘lockdown’ at a very competitive price. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thankyou.

S. H.

I could not thank GVC enough. Specially Bassam who did his absolute best to repair my computer in time since I needed It so i could send an assignment on the Next day. I could not leave my laptop in better hands. He explained every step of the repairs made on my laptop and was very patient on every question I had for him. One of the most honest and helping technicians i've ever met. His advices , his calmness, and profesionalism are exceptional. I wish i could rate 10 stars because they deserve it. I Hope from the bottom of my heart all the best and success to this small business during this pandemic.

S. T.

Incredible customer service, very knowledgeable and honest staff. My Macbook had liquid damage, and they made it work again despite the fact that I did all the wrong moves, such as plugging it in and trying to turn it back on repeatedly. I was updated on the progress on the laptop, price and was given extra advice, I couldn't recommend this place enough.

L. J.

Wow - great service Gamal and team sorted a tricky issue out on the motherboard of my MacBook Air. 4 days from pick up to drop off and service with a smile. Very affordable. Highly recommended. Lionel Jones 11May 2020

M. L.

This really is like an emergency room for your technical issues. I spilt tea over my MacBook Pro and it was not working anymore. Gamal repaired it in less than 48 hours and also the price was the best value for money. GVC provides an excellent and a very quick service and I highly recommend asking them for help if you are having any problems with your computer.

S. C.

Fixed my Mac that an Apple tech couldn't which they made worse. Great service, fixed my 7year old Mac hard drive in 3hrs! Was able to have my Mac up and running the same day and they were able to retrieve all my files!! Mac is faster than ever and the price is very reasonable for the service I received. Highly recommended and will definitely go back and refer to friends

S. C.

GVC saved me when I was in a bind yesterday! Even transferred my data from my old computer within 10 minutes!

W. N.

Work done was more than I expected with my Dell desktop, by changing hard disk and cleaning. The PC is running as good as new for a 12 year old machine. I hope to keep it going for 5 more years. I’m a light user and take care of my PC. Thanks to Gamal for giving the PC a new lease of life.

j. w.

Good, honest and friendly. Thank you and will not hesitate using again in emergency or just a simple repair. Thank you

A.

I’ve known Gamal on a professional level for more years than I can count on both hands where he’s always been; Short & Direct to the point... He will give you one price, and believe, this is “the price you will pay (once)... It will save you any further: extras, troubles as well as come-backs in the future... This is what I call, (Value for Money)... Thank you Gamal, you have always proven to be “right” & (Precise)! Well done and all the best, Ali Iraqi

S. V. D. P.

Reception was excellent Approach to every diagnoses fully explained and advantages for better performance after repair assured. Best of everything to extend the life of the laptop fully explained to my understanding. It's a place to call but make sure you make contact before arriving at the shop so that you'll have priority service. You are in good hands

F. H.

Spilt cider on my laptop and it was completely broken. My laptop was ready to pick up the next day with trackpad replaced and all my data present for £160 -- less than a quarter of what my friend had to pay at the apple store.

J. G.

Had an issue with my charger and thought I had to change it. Instead of just selling me an expensive charger, the shop owner figured out it was just the power cable saving some money. I appreciated the honesty and professionalism, would recommend for any computer repair job.

S.

I am so happy with these guys! I got water on my MacBook Pro and it stopped working. The Apple store said I needed a new keyboard and logic board and it would cost £600. I was recommended to try GVC and I'm glad I did! They first said they'd do a treatment to remove water from all parts for £90, but then called me to say that when they had started to do this, it was clear it was only the keyboard that was damaged and that they could just replace that for a total cost to me of only £120. The service was also extremely quick and they are open till late - and friendly. I'd thoroughly recommend them. Thank you GVC!

J. G.

Less than a 24 hour turnaround with exceptional service. Complete keyboard replacement and treatment for water damage that saved my Mac. Highly recommended. Also one of the few places open on a Sunday.

t. g.

i have been a customer with this company for the last 5 years, always appreciate theirs professionalism in dealing with customers and also resolving all it related problems. i had a problem with my laptops almost for year trying many repair center without any successes but GVC resolved and had no issues since. I honestly recommend them for anyone who needs it related support. Thanks

Z. A.

Engineer arrived within two hours of my initial call to transfer some data for me and whilst that was transferring checked everything over and taught me some new neat tricks! Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely use again and highly recommend. Excellent customer service!

D. S.

Very helpful, professional and fast service. Bassem advised, provided a precise quote and replaced the spill-damaged keyboard and backlight of our Macbook Pro in less than 24 hours, as well as providing the recommended spill treatment for the mother board to ensure no further damage. Highly recommended.

D. M.

Highly recommend this place to save your laptop, especially in case of emergency. Had my macbook pro spilled over by coffee and Gamal did his best service to save every issues coming from it. I am privileged to have it repaired within 24 hours in a decent price. Thank you!

a. t.

Our MacBook had a hard drive problem and being “vintage” (or over 5 years old!) Apple wouldn’t touch it. Luckily, a Google search led us to GVC. Great advice and a quick repair later our trusty laptop has a new solid state drive and a new lease of life. Thank you Bassem for a fantastic service.

M. C.

Excellent service, Great prices. I had water spill on macbook pro, called them immediately after googling. They told exactly what to do (i.e. put the laptop upside down and do not turn it on) and their advice saved my laptop. I took it in the next morning to be dried and cleaned. Was able to collect it the same day! I would highly recommend to anyone who has a mac emergency!

E. Y.

Gamal helped me tremendously with my laptop when the LCD broke right before lockdown. Quick service and a reasonable price plus good updating on repair status via sms and WhatsApp. 100% recommend

D. N.

Gamal and Bassem managed to replace my hard drive and fix my laptop, after Apple said they couldn't carry out a hardware repair. They really knew their stuff and were speedy (repaired in approx. 24 hours) and helpful. My computer is now working and is much faster. Thank you!

B. A. N.

When my laptop stopped working I felt this is the end of the world imagining the hustle & the cost I’ll have to go through to fix it in London. Luckily, I found GVC just across my street Gamal diagnosed the issue from the first look and fixed it in less than 48 hours including ordering the parts. This is like an emergency room for you technical issues highly recommended.

S. M.

Dell Laptop XPS 15 9530 less than 2 years old would not power on. Sent to Dell and paid for a diagnostic. I was told that the Motherboard was faulty but that they could not carry out the repair because the Motherboard model was not in stock. They suggested I try to buy one from the internet!!! Or that they will give me a 15% discount on a new laptop!!! This is utterly disgraceful as the laptop had cost me over £1,600 less than 2 years ago and I was facing the prospect of having to discard it. Sent it to GVC and the Motherboard was repaired in less than 2 days. Dell, supposedly the largest computer company in the world versus a local conscientious and efficient company. This makes you question everything.

S. G. (.

Really happy with a speedy service! Two days before my essay deadlines my pc gave me a BSOD that I couldn't recover from myself and I hadn't backed up my work! Called up Peter late night at almost 11pm and he was very helpful, next morning I was in store and Gamal spent all day working in it to return to me a fully functioning laptop with my data successfully recovered, reasonable price too! Saved me a lot of hassle and bad grades, so can definitely recommend

C. F. C. F. N.

Googled closest place to where I live, GVC came up and very happy it did. Took my computer and had no idea what was wrong and Gamal diagnosed it within 15 mins. Hard drive needed to be replaced and he carried out the repair the same day. Took laptop in at 12 lunchtime and picked it up at 7pm the same day and laptop now working like a dream! So happy and grateful!

A. F.

Excellent service. Laptop collected, repaired and delivered same day - fantastic and so much needed during lock down. So many thanks from a very happy customer!

M. S. S.

Needed a mouse for my laptop. Nothing unusual. But went to GVC because of good reviews. A little hard to find. Located inside the building. But wasn't disappointed. Very nice service. Had what I needed. Good price.

A. C.

Brought my macbook there to replace the battery at 8pm, done within an hour! Apple quoted £300 but got it replaced here for £130! Fast and reliable service! Would highly recommend. Thank you!!

R. M.

I can’t tell you how reassuring it is to find an honest, humble, helpful person who is also an expert with technology. So grateful for everything you’ve done. Fantastic job. Thanks for understanding the urgency around needing to get my computer back quickly and responding with such grace.

C. E. D.

My computer was seriously damaged and they repaired it completly without losing any of the data. It took a while because I have a Mac and the battery they had ordered was held up in customs BUT no one could controle that. that being said Apple were going to charge me 800£ or more if I didn't want the memory on my computer whiped. This only came to about 200£ for intense damage recovery. Very good pricing, for a very good service. Nicely done guys!

G. R.

Went in with a dodgy macbook air logic board. Apple quoted £600 and GVC did it for £120! Whole thing done in 1 day. Very good service and prompt communication. I would highly recommend.

E.

Very friendly, fast and helpful My MacBook Pro had a screen problem, the problem was diagnosticed straight away. Unfortunately it couldn’t be repaired but I had another one in very good conditions and faster for an affordable price. Highly recommended

G. S.

Poured a glass of wine over my laptop keypad in the evening... phoned a number for computers that said ‘open’ which led me to Bassem and Gammal in Queensway. What incredible luck!!! Bassem presented me with a fully functioning laptop , less than 2 days later! Genius!...and lovely guy!

c. o.

Gamal rescued the data on a destroyed hard drive which he replaced with a solid state version that is much better. Came to the rescue again when some software incompatibility was stopping the sound from working. He updated the security and got it all running properly again quickly and efficiently while I waited. Very happy with service

D. P.

these guys are amazing! They repaired my pc in no time and gave me excellent advices to save money Highly recommended Daniela

S. G.

I've done maybe towards 10 fixes here of mine and friends laptops because they're always very good. This should really be 10 individuals 5 and 4 star ratings.. Really good at what they're doing

K. M.

My laptop battery needed replacing ON A SUNDAY!! I looked everywhere for one. No one had it in stock. GVC didn't have the battery in stock either. It was urgent.....Bassem went out of his way to get hold of one and fit it same day (3hr turnaround). I can't thank them enough!

L. L.

Trackpad broke on my mac, took it to a mac approved shop and was quote $800 to get it fixed. Gamal did it for about a1/5 of that cost and within 24 hours. And even when an extra part needed to be changed he did not charge extra. Would highly recommend.

P.

Fixed and upgraded my crashed hard drive and managed to recover all my data, which I was sure would be lost forever. Gamal went out of his way to get it back to me as quickly as possible and I got it back the same day — on a Sunday, no less! Prices very reasonable. No complaints.

E. D.

My very old MacBook, full of important coursework and yearsssss worth of memories in pictures, stopped working on tuesday. In a panic i went to GVC in the computer market, just because it was the first place I saw. I thought all of my valuable data was gone, but the guys at GVC did their best and completely restored everything!! I could not be happier with their affordable and fast service. would recommend to everyone!

Z. P.

The screen of my laptop was cracked and after reading a good reviews here I went to GVC to seek for a help, Bassem was very helpful and changed the screen straight away for a very good price. Unfortunately,the Windows went down after this, I don't know the reason why as I'm not an expert in these things and I was quite shocked that this happened as it was working perfectly fine before , anyway-Bassem was very helpful again and fixed it in a very short time,he contacted me about it throughout the day which made me less stressed about the whole situation.Highly recomend for a quick, reliable service. Thank you.

V. G.

Fixed my mac when I thought it was beyond repair. Friendly professional service. Quick, reliable, well priced/great value and trustworthy service. Will definitely use again.

T. L.

Fixed the hinges on my laptop with short notice and with excellence. Amiable and efficient service!

M. D.

I can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done for me these past couple of days. They managed to repair our MacBook Pro in no time while dealing with a very stressed client!! I would definitely recommend them to everyone I know and will use them in the future. Thank you for your fantastic service!

N. R.

Great service, quick and accurate. The price ended up being on the top of the range that had been provided, but within range. In any case it was less than half what HP had provided to repair.

C. J.

Very nice service! My laptop broke and I was in a lot of panic because I needed my laptop asap! I went to this place, and was able to get it fixed just in a day with very reasonable price! 😭 I would definitely recommend this place seriously it was the best service !!!

C. B.

GVC are quick, efficient, honest and good value for money, what more do you need? I regularly take my companies computers in to GVC and will continue to do so, they never let me down.

E. B.

Great customer service. An honest assessment of the issue and gave me options available to fix laptop, which is exactly what I needed. I would recommend using GVC.

K.

3 weeks ago I had a massive meltdown with my pc. I found Bas and Kamal to be first class in helping get a new Hard Drive installed on the desktop machine. Not only that but a small USB dongle was left behind and instead of posting out Bas was a true gentleman and delivered it to my home. Top Service, THANK YOU

g. a.

These guys provide some great service. They gave me multiple alternatives, helped me in chosing the best alternative, and repaired the hinge and the top cover in less than 2 hours.

E. #.

The owner is a computer wizard. Fixed my computer in like 4 hours for almost nothing. Better than Dell tech support and much quicker.

m. p.

I came for a fairly difficult hinge reparation that HP support and other 6 computer shops refused to do. The shop owner did it in a couple hours. I wouldn't say it was cheap, but at least he actually did it

B.

Had charging dock replaced for my dell xps 15. Costed £105. Service was very good with immediate diagnosis, finished very quickly.

G. M.

Gamal and his team did a great job, repairing my laptop at speed and setting all problems right. I recommend GVC!

l.

First time here, Friendly and helpful service! Helped with installing the parts for my new PC build and also helped with repairing the CPU saving me alot of money! within the next day I was able to receive the complete build. GVC provided support with dropping off and setting up my PC, Very thankful for the help offered during these times!

O. K.

My laptop had some issues with a malfunctioning fan and a slow hard drive, and they fixed the problem within two hours. They are professional and highly experienced. I’d highly recommend this place.

H. G.

My laptop experience problem twice this month and they both get fixed no problem, charging is reasonable and they took short time to do the fix. Much more worthy than big shop

A. H.

Great service. Trustworthy. On my second visit and on dealing with M.Gamal Ramadan again I can see why this business is a success. They really do provide outstanding Coustomer service. I won’t take my computer anywhere else from now on.

P. M.

Services were good, data from the damaged laptop was successfully recovered with a good deal. Gamal is a nice person and helps a lot.

N. P.

Much appreciated your service, been customer for years, very very honest people , had a problem with my Mac they have done it same day without replacing any part with very very reasonable price thank very much.

E. K.

GVC absolutely saved me! I was up against it for a deadline and my macbook's hard drive was completely full, unable to export anything or even upload backups to Google drive. I arrived at 8pm in a panic, and the chap serving wiped my hard drive for me then and there (I had backup on external harddrive). Picked it up at 9pm, finished my work and made the deadline. Can't thank them enough, it's like I have a new laptop! So helpful, kind, and went above and beyond to help me - even installing programmes back onto my computer free of charge! Thank you thank you!

G. I.

I had a very good experience repairing my MacBook, very efficient and great price!

GVC has been looking after me for ten years, fixing crashed disk, disk, conflicting software, failed hardware in hours instead of the days it would take with a mainstream supplier. Thoroughly recommend.

A great find, tucked away in Queensway market. They really know their stuff and are really helpful and friendly. Excellent service at good prices.

N. S.

Highly recommended! I tried Apple initially to get the screen fixed on my 2017 Macbook Pro. It took me 2 weeks to get an appointment with the Genius Bar. After waiting for 20 minutes past my appointment time, I finally met an Apple "genius" who took 15 minutes to explain to me it would have to be sent away, cost at least £400 plus the cost of parts which could run into another £400, oh and I would lose my work laptop for at least a week. Not happening! Then I found GVC.... I called in at around 11am on a Saturday morning, Bassem took less than 5 minutes to tell me what the issue almost certainly was, and give me a good idea of the final price, with a £50 minimum fee. I left my laptop... By 7:30pm that evening, the Macbook was sitting back on my desk at home, with a brand new (2nd hand) screen, working as if nothing had happened. I can't recommend these guys enough, and will be using them for all my out-of-warrenty Apple products, and won't even bother with the so called "genius bar" next time. There is just no point when these guys can make this happen.
