Why customers choose Microsmith for computer repairs
Local computer repair shop in Newport
We are based in Newport and work on computers for customers across the area. No posting away, no waiting weeks for a return.
Clear diagnosis before major work
We identify the fault first and explain it clearly before recommending any significant repair. You will not be charged for work you did not agree to.
Hardware and software faults
Whether it is a physical component failure or a software issue causing problems, we investigate both and advise on the right fix.
Upgrade options available
Sometimes a repair is not the only answer. We will tell you if an upgrade — such as a new SSD or extra memory — would be a better option for your machine.
Honest advice on older machines
If a repair is not economical for the age and value of your computer, we will say so. We would rather save you money than carry out unnecessary work.
