Unlike other PC repair services that jump straight to charging for a diagnosis, Stephen actually took the time to give me troubleshooting advice--for FREE! Stephen genuinely cared about saving me money and even suggested that I contact the PC brand's customer service first before having him work on my PC. His honesty and willingness to help without asking for anything in return really stood out. If I ever need professional repairs, I know exactly where to go. Highly recommend!

YouTube said it's common after a drop that the screws break and that results in the rattling sound. I contacted five other repair shops and no one but Fixoid said they could do the repair. Also, Reddit reviews as of 2026 HIGHLY recommend Fixoid's Vancouver location - no idea why it's rated so low on yelp Called to confirm the price and their hours. Came in around 4:30pm mid week and slapped down $100 ($110 with tax). They called my friends phone to pick up in about 30mins and said they had to remove my protective screen so they put a new one on for free. Super happy. Thanks guys!!

The staff seemed nice, and what I was trying to get resolved didn't seem to be that large of a problem for a computer "expert". So when he seemed to have succeeded by indeed, introducing my new (new to me... It was an older "Magic Keyboard") keyboard that just had to recognize my iMac. He had to use an "adapter", his words... to get this done. I was very pleased and relieved and gladly gave him the $26 and change that he determined to be the damages. I get home and unpack the iMac and turn it on and my keyboard cannot recognize my computer! I call him and tell him my situation, and he responds with I am gonna have to get an adapter of some sort... I was aghast!!! You did this and apparently knew that it was not going to be a "fix" without said adapter and you charged me...?!!!! So I mull it over a wee bit and call them back and get another staff member. I ask if I could use the $26 as a credit to a key board that they had for sale for $89? She responds that her manager is out for the day, "off the clock", and she cannot get this question satisfied until "tomorrow". I get off the phone and travel too Portland and buy a new key board for $99... Should have done this 1st thing yesterday morning... NEVER GOING BACK and I HOPE $26 was worth this review !!!!

My laptop decided to give up the ghost after several years- ironically, on the VERY day I was…read moreplanning to download all my photos onto a hard drive. It started with my taskbar freezing, then disappearing. After a hard reboot, I had a blank screen. Not being terribly computer savvy, I tried several times over the next few days to restart the computer and would get a message while it was going through its startup cycle, but then it would just cycle endlessly or eventually display a blank screen. After multiple attempts at internet fixes using my phone, I took the computer to a local repair shop, but it was too severely corrupted to repair. The proprietor did take out the hard drive and reinstalled Windows 10, and also gave me a business card for Cascadia Data Recovery. I decided to go ahead and try the service, because they advertised a set rate with no payment if no data was recovered. I called Cascadia and spoke to a very helpful person who detailed how to send my corrupted drive to them and what to expect. I was sent instructions and a shipping label via email as well. A couple of days after I shipped the drive, Cascadia sent me a message that my data was recovered, and included a view-only attachment that showed the names of the recovered files. Everything was there! I was given the option to pay the fee at that time if I wanted to continue with the data recovery, as well as to have the data downloaded to a new external hard drive (for the cost of the drive- they will not accept one from the customer). I paid the fees via credit card and was shipped the drive shortly afterward. I couldn't be more pleased with the service and customer care I received. I have recommended Cascadia to a few people already and will continue to do so!

He did, however, walk me through, step by step, what to do to check and diagnose the issue from Friday - Saturday via phone calls and text messages. It was a great learning experience for me, and as well, a testament to the reviews that have been left on here previous to mine. I would /highly/ recommend this business for any computer issues, as they will go above and beyond, to ensure you receive service, even if they cannot work on your computer immediately.
