Get the computer working
without the runaround.
From a slow laptop to a stubborn printer or gaming rig, we start with what is happening, what you need the device to do, and what fits your budget.
The work behind the fix
Repair options explained before work begins.
Repair, upgrades, setup, and tutoring should feel approachable from the first conversation.
Home technology support
Practical help with Wi-Fi, email, printers, photos, software cleanup, backups, and the computer basics that should feel easier.
Gaming PCs
Custom gaming and creator builds that balance frame rates, thermals, budget, and room to grow.
Malware removal and performance
Malware cleanup, security updates, startup optimization, storage checks, and performance troubleshooting.
Local pickup and return
Available within about 60 miles of Gainesville when bringing the computer to us is the hardest part. Any pickup and return fee is confirmed before scheduling.
Small-business IT support
Practical help with computers, software, device setup, and everyday technology for a small team.
Data recovery & backup
Help recovering files from drives and planning safer backups, with results dependent on the device’s condition.
PC upgrades & tune-ups
Compatibility-first help with storage, memory, cooling, graphics, and other upgrades for a better-running computer.
New computer setup
New-computer setup, software installs, printers, email, Wi-Fi, and step-by-step walkthroughs for getting everything working together.
Network design & Wi-Fi
Plan and improve home or small-team networks for better coverage, safer defaults, and fewer everyday connection headaches.
Onsite computer repair
By-appointment help at your home or business when transporting the computer or explaining the setup remotely is not practical.
Software engineering
Scoped help with scripts, small tools, websites, back-office improvements, and technical problem solving.
IT tutoring
One-on-one support for programming, computer basics, networking, security concepts, and coursework confidence.
Our approach
Good tech help should feel human.
No gatekeeping. No “just buy a new one” as the first answer. We meet you at your comfort level, whether you are juggling classes, helping a parent, or setting up your first PC.

Gator Fix Tech provides practical support with the next step explained before work begins.
That means practical help with the problems people actually feel: a laptop that is slow or crashing, a machine burdened by malware, a computer that needs a performance tune-up, or a custom build that needs thoughtful parts, cooling, and upgrade choices. Some devices may be uneconomical or impossible to repair; we explain that before work begins. The plan stays connected to your real use and budget.

Before any device changes hands
Your files and access deserve a clear plan.
Repair can affect data, accounts, and hardware. These boundaries are part of the conversation before scheduling or work begins.
Backups come first
Customers remain responsible for maintaining current backups. We explain backup and data-loss risks before steps that could affect files.
Only necessary access
Do not send passwords, payment details, or authentication codes through the public form. If testing requires account access, the needed method is discussed directly and is not retained as form data.
Handoff is confirmed
Shipping, drop-off, pickup, and return arrangements are confirmed before a device moves. Use sturdy packaging and retain tracking information when shipping.
No unattended devices
Do not leave a device without an agreed appointment. Any storage, unclaimed-device, or physical-security terms are confirmed before intake.
Proof you can inspect
Clear signals, not made-up testimonials.
Until customer reviews and case-study photography are available, here is the evidence we can stand behind today.
Named operator
Brian Deragon is the founder and computer support specialist responsible for the work.
Observable process
The service process explains the plan before work, documents the next step, and tests the repair with you.
Clear boundaries
Data, account-access, device-handoff, approval, and uneconomical-repair limits are stated before scheduling.
Local scope
Service availability, pickup routes, and appointment expectations are described on the service-area page.
Good questions welcome
Before you bring it in
Absolutely. You do not need to know the technical terms. Tell us what you are trying to do and what is getting in the way; we will explain the next step clearly.
Yes. We help with class laptops, family computers, Wi-Fi, printers, photos, gaming PCs, upgrades, and the everyday technology that keeps life moving.
Yes. We will look at the condition, likely repair path, age, performance, and your budget before recommending a direction.
Not yet. Service is coordinated by appointment, with shipping, drop-off and pickup, or local pickup and return options selected in your request.
We confirm any diagnostic or service fee before scheduling. You will know the expected next step before work begins.
Turnaround depends on the device, diagnosis, parts availability, and queue. We provide an estimate after reviewing the request and update you if the scope changes.
Yes. We explain the recommended work, parts, price, and alternatives before proceeding. Customer approval is required for added scope.
We request only the access needed for the agreed work, avoid asking you to send passwords through the public form, and explain backup or data-loss risks before repair steps that could affect files.
Tell us the model and operating system. We support many Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS problems, but hardware and account limitations can affect what is possible.
Only with the owner’s or organization’s authorization. Managed devices may require the school or employer’s IT team to approve or perform the work.
Choose the option that fits your request. Pickup availability and fees vary by route; shipping customers should use sturdy packaging and retain tracking information.
Remote help may be appropriate for some software and account problems. Urgent after-hours support may be available when configured; any fee is confirmed before scheduling.
Payment options and timing are confirmed before work begins. Do not put payment details, passwords, or identification in the public request form.
You may ask us to evaluate customer-supplied parts before installation. Compatibility, condition, and warranty coverage must be confirmed, and customer-supplied parts may have limited support.
Any warranty coverage, exclusions, diagnostic fee, parts cost, and expected price are explained before work begins. We ask for approval before added work or parts are used; no blanket warranty is promised when coverage depends on the device, repair, or customer-supplied parts.
Describe the problem; we’ll help map the next step.
Start where you are.
A short description is enough to get started. Tell us if this is a class laptop, family computer, gaming rig, Wi-Fi problem, or a computer that just needs a reset. No judgment. We’ll take it from there.
