Can’t be happier with the service provided. John clearly explained all issues with an on the fritz ps5 and was able to diagnose and fix all of them within a timely manner. Absolutely stellar work (and his dog is incredibly friendly and welcoming too!) Will definitely be going here from now on for all of my repair needs! Thanks again John!

I have been going to John at City PC Repairs for about 15 years for repairs and upgrades to PCs, laptops and phones. He has also managed to recover data on a number of occasions including a large number of photos which would otherwise have been lost. He has always been helpful, thorough, diligent and his charges are very reasonable. Most recently he has successfully installed Windows 11 on a 12 year old PC, despite Microsoft making this really difficult. Strongly recommended.

From broken hard drives and subsequent data recovery to PC and disc upgrades, John really has the knowledge and equipment to solve all computer issues and problems.

I took my partner's Nintendo Switch to this establishment for an examination. It at ceased working, completely dead. John had a thorough look at it, switching components to see if it could be revived.
Unfortunately, the Switch could not be fixed, this is not John's fault. His service is impeccable and I fully recommend him if you have a device that needs fixing.
His rescue dog was super cute as well.

Quick repair (especially due to how busy he was when I handed in the PS5), friendly customer service, and a great price considering the console had no fan activity and also needed a bit of clean.
It’s great having a working PS5 again, will definitely take any other broken electrics here.

John was absolutely fantastic. Came to him after a leak in my property soaked my PS5. Was a really close call but John was able to save it. Such a lovely guy and cost of the repair was really reasonable. Cannot fault him or work at all will definitely be coming back to him with any other tech repairs in the future. He also has a lovely rescue for any the dog lovers 😁

I have used the services at City PC Repairs a couple of times now. The first time was a Nintendo Switch and the next time was for PS5. I really like John, he is very good and provides and straight forward no nonsense service which I really appreciate. I was kept informed of the progress of my repair and my expectations were set early on with regards to timescales. I highly recommend John and will return as soon as the kids break device again! I also plan to return for data recovery soon. Lovely wee dog too! Thanks John! Great service 👍

After spilling water on my MacBook, John was fantastic in fixing my damaged logic-board. I was so happy to find a repair for a reasonable price, rather than replacing the logic board completely and losing all my data. John was communicative throughout the process. And although the damage was more severe than originally thought, he was very helpful and did a great job. Thank you so much!

I was very impressed with the service from John at City PC Repairs. After spilling water on my PS4, I thought it might be a lost cause but thankfully John was able to fix it and for a good price. He was also very friendly and kept me updated along the way. If you need any repairs, I highly recommend this business.

Extremely grateful to John for recovering 100% of my data from a broken SSD. It wasn’t looking good when he first assessed it and he managed my expectations really well, but somehow within 48 hours he got me everything back! Bonus was being greeted by his adorable pup. Thanks again John!

My home PC suddenly refused to boot up. I contacted John at PC Repairs due to his high Google ratings to ask if he could recover the data on the hard drive. Made an appointment and took the failed PC in to Johns workshop. Within 24 hours the work had been successfully completed and all data recovered. Can't thank John enough as there was a lot of sensitive data on there and all done to my mind, at a very reasonable price.

Where do I even begin? From the moment I laid eyes on the place, I should have sprinted in the opposite direction. The rolling shutter was closed, and the one above the main door was only half-open—a charming aesthetic choice, I’m sure. First red flag.
Undeterred, I tried calling the shop three times this morning. No answer. Maybe they’re just too busy offering their world-class customer service? Wrong. I decided to pop in anyway. Big mistake.
Upon arriving, the door was key-locked. I stood outside like a hopeful fool, trying to figure out how to announce my presence. Finally, a very enthusiastic man reluctantly unlocked the door, his irritation radiating like a beacon of warmth. But wait, it gets better! Behind the door was a child gate. Cute, right? Wrong again. It wasn’t there for children—it was for his massive dog, who immediately decided I’d make an excellent chew toy. The dog bit me twice while barking, all while the man communicated in his own special brand of charm and rudeness.
Now imagine this: I’m standing there, dog teeth sinking into my arm, trying to explain my PCB issue. Did the man invite me in? Of course not! Did he open the gate? Not a chance. Instead, mid-explanation, he waltzed off to grab his cup of coffee. Priorities, I guess.
When he finally returned, coffee in hand, he dismissed me with a snarky, "I'm busy. Come back after Christmas unless you have the replacement part for this PCB." I mean, why am I even here if I already had the part?
Oh, and about the dog—it wasn’t done yet. While I was being verbally dismissed, the dog kept nibbling on my arm and managed to leave a few holes in my jacket. But hey, no big deal, right? I love animals. What I don’t love is being treated like an inconvenience while simultaneously being turned into a doggy chew toy.
To top it all off, he never even checked my PCB. I left stunned, with zero help and a newfound understanding of how low customer service can go.
If you’re wondering how this place has nearly 5 stars, your guess is as good as mine. Maybe people are rating it based on the dog’s friendliness? All I know is, life must’ve been really tough for this man to treat others the way he does.
So, here’s my advice: Don’t just walk away from City PC Repairs. Run. Sprint. Evacuate the vicinity. Unless, of course, you’re looking for a unique blend of hostility, unprofessionalism, and free dog bites.
Happy holidays, and best of luck to anyone brave enough to venture into this shop. You’ll need it.

Our daughter’s lap top for university wasn’t working correctly, we received a message back about dropping off within a hour on a Saturday. John kindly waited past his closing time as we travelled by tram and were running late. The lap top was problem was identified by Monday morning and ready for pick up the next day. We have used City Repairs several times for different issues now, brilliant service, honest advice and value for money. Definitely worth travelling across the city.
Thank you John.

Friendly, honest and definitely great service! My hard disk suddenly stopped working a week ago, as it would not appear on any computer that I plugged it into (windows or Mac). I took it to John and within a week, he was able to recover 100% of the data, without increasing the initial price, even after having to transfer some of the data manually to the new recovered hard disk. Very good service and would really recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quick, cheap and efficient data recovery service. Thanks John!

Handed in my (almost) prehistoric macbook pro to have the battery replaced. John was really attentive, kept in contact and sent updates throughout, also 100% the best price and service in the city. John also cleaned the inside of my laptop at no extra cost which I knew would be grossssss (thanks again for doing that, John). I'm very happy to report that my wee macbook now has a new lease of life. It's working perfectly, holds charge, runs quicker and no longer sounds like she may combust at any given moment - a previous and very genuine fear of mine. Can't recommend John enough, he's a sound local lad and his wee dog is super sweet too.

Every so often in life you may be fortunate to find a company, service or person whose commitment to quality shines like a beacon.
City PC repairs in Edinburgh fulfils these criteria and provides a standard of service that some major IT providers could learn from.
Cost for the work, communication with the customer and quality of workmanship are all 5* and in my particular situation - the Laptop was returned to me as good as new, with no evidence that the Surface case had been opened.
Professional and HIGH QUALITY service. Congratulations to all involved.

John knows his stuff. We talked about a motherboard repair on my MacBook Pro - told me a estimated lower and upper cost. Called me back within the week and confirmed which chips needed replaced and quoted me the lower of the two previous costings. I wasn’t complaining, the communication was excellent, and his expertise is second to none.
Really don’t want another breakdown on my Mac but the way they are built now I’m sure I will be seeing John sooner rather than later. Until next time……

My Xbox One was hopelessly stuck at the troubleshoot screen, just would not boot properly. Was worried it was game over, but it's got a new hard drive and a new lease of life!
Took it in Saturday, it was fixed by Monday. Superb speedy service and very personable.
There's also good parking around the area for drop offs, which was convenient.

Not only did they fix my Xbox Series X in a day - which was fantastic and well priced - but I brought in my sons switch and instead of taking it in and charging me - he looked at it quickly and diagnosed it was the charger not the switch - Now that is good solid honest work - will definitely return

Terrible experience unfortunately. The owner kept my Mac for over a month and no data recovery.
I went to recover lost data from my Mac, the owner received it and told me he needed a few days to diagnose the device and call me back. I text him a week later kindly asking for an update. He seemed so annoyed with my reminder and told me not to ask or come until he tells me so. He never called or texted to inform me about the situation, I had to enquire. After more than a month, and I had to tell him that I’m coming to collect the device even without data recovery where he refused and asked for more days.
I totally understand that data sometimes cannot be recovered, I also understand that the owner is working on other devices, but couldn’t understand his negligence. I seemed to be his last priority. Didn’t even apologise.
He knows that I was so patient and respectful.

Can't fault my experience with John at City PC Repairs at all - conducts his business very well! Quoted me a price for my issue immediately and gave an honest and realistic expectation of the timeframe for the replacement part to arrive & be fitted. Was pleasantly surprised to receive a text confirmation advising it was ready for pick up several days earlier, and even more so when John confirmed he was able to repair rather than replace the charging port... and subsequently knocked £25 off the price too :)

John has been my go to computer/phone guy for several years now.
First time I met him I had a very serious loss of data situation which he miraculously recovered for me.
For this alone I will be indebted for a long time. Since then I’ve bought a couple of his reconditioned laptops and the entire service has been first class.
Very knowledgeable, friendly, approachable and accommodating.... get yourself along there and I can guarantee your going to get very very good service from a down to earth guy for a very reasonable fee....
If your lucky his beautiful dog might be there too.
Thanks a million. Tim

I visited John in late Sep to change my iPhone 6s screen and battery, the price was very reasonable and John was super nice, the shop just completed the repair within a few hours, very efficient. The phone works well till today, although the screen colour is a bit different form the original one, and the screen touch sometime is not that sensitive and delay the reaction. But you would get used to it. John save my phone, so I can continue to use it without change to a new one.

I have been using City Repairs for a number of years and John has managed to fix any issue I have had with my laptop. John is friendly and is easy to talk to with any problem you may have.
Will always give you a very reasonable price. Will fix it as soon as he can and will even send you a text to let you know when it's ready to be picked up. Great service.
Highly recommend.

Absolutely stellar service. I have used them before and they have always saved my laptops from certain death! Fast, friendly and super fairly priced - I'd much rather pay the money to a local business than a giant like Curry's where they won't give a rat's arse about you.

Be careful, very inflexible, unfriendly and not solutions orientated.
I got a replacement screen from John after my old screen was damaged in an accident. He wanted a down payment right away before ordering the new piece which already seemed odd. Anyway, after it had functioned normally for 8 months, it stopped working for no apparent reason. I used it the previous night, however, on the next morning it did not turn on anymore. I run a hardware check and everything was fine except the screen not working. Once I contacted John about it, he was very inflexible. He claimed that I could have dropped the laptop, which was obviously was not the case since there were no new external damages or even marks in this case on the laptop. Yet he claimed that it was my fault and he could not do anything unless he sees the laptop. Upon consulting other certified repair shops, we checked all connection cables and the other hardware pieces, which were all fine. The experts suggested that the most likely reason for this was that the piece is a counterfeiting piece and/or poorly fitted. John denied this and still resisted to assist with the issue. Finally, I even interrupted my holiday to see him about it, but he was still unwilling to help. He claimed that it had to be sent away since he could not assess the screen himself (which was strange given that he portrays himself as an expert), and that there was a high risk that the damage is likely to have arisen from parts of the laptop, even though the hardware test did not suggest any other hardware damages, and the other experts could not find any other hardware faults. The excuse seemed too convenient for him. When I had asked for a refund, he denied it, and still insisted that it had to be sent away first, even though it was very evident that the screen had stopped working. I was very disappointed with the service as the business seemed legitimate, but he does not seem to care about customer satisfaction and this case is a testament of this attitude.

Great work by John, City PC Repairs. He managed to turn my unusable 10 year old very slow Dell desktop into something that I can work with again. He replaced the original Hard Drive with a latest Solid State Drive making my desktop extremely fast. He completed the refurbishment in no time and got my computer back to me with no loss of personal data. Great value too.
I would thoroughly recommend City PC Repairs if you are looking for a quick and reliable computer repair.

I thought I'd lost all my data but was pleasantly surprised when I got all recovered with an upgrade to my lap top. I'd totally recommend. Amazing service in between.

I was really happy with the service provided with City PC repairs and I would recommend them. Very helpful and approachable staff. I had a problem with my tablet, so they can fix all sorts of computers. Great to have a place like this so local too.

John has helped me through computer woes for a couple of years, including bringing back my old and much loved Surface Pro to life after a Microsoft guy told me it was dead. He is helpful, highly skilled and prices are very reasonable. He has also helped on with email questions after I leave the shop. Very highly recommended!

John did a visit to my flat to swap out a power supply. Very quick, efficient, and knowledgeable service at a good price.

Very responsive - including out of hours - and very prompt service. Saved my life when I lost a hard drive full of images! Would definitely use again (although hopefully won't have to now that I've learned my lesson). Highly recommended.

Highly recommended. Very Knowledgeable, very competitive rates. I've used them a couple of times for some in depth laptop repairs. They have been excellent. They offer an honest service and they were very flexible and helpful as the diagnosis and repairs proceeded.

Just had the second new PC rebuild from here and again it's a great machine, to the specs I wanted with all questions answered in superfast time from start to finish.

Great service. Data recovered from non spinning hard drive with stuck heads. Price amazing and service amazing! Can recommend.
Our reputation is everything! Our large and loyal Edinburgh customer base are more than happy to recommend our services to family and friends – why not try us? Remember, at the shop your initial diagnostics is free* with no commitments.
Fantastic! What John doesn’t know about getting you back up and running, probably is’nt worth knowing! Friendly, well priced advice. Thanks so much!
I’ve used City PC Repairs many times now, and have just had a brilliant job done on my laptop. Thanks again, for the excellent service and advice.
My external hard drive crashed five days before my masters dissertation deadline with all my data on it. John recovered the data in time for submission.
