Trusted Reviews from Customers
Our customers across Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Maryland trust LapFix.com for fast, reliable, and affordable laptop and Mac repairs. Here’s what they say about our data recovery, logic board repair, and computer services.
I did not expect free service for an issue that was not the company's fault. However, the diagnosis by email and immediate dismissal of responsibility is disheartening.
Poor customer service, a high bill, and a lack of professional interest in their work is a bad combination.
From start to finish, the communication was great, the turnaround time was quick, the customer service and the price was outstanding. They kept me updated along the way and made sure everything was working properly before returning my laptop.
I've been using my MacBook since getting it back, and it's running perfectly. It's clear they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in the quality of their work.
Thank you again, Eric, and the entire LapFix team for getting my laptop back up and running. I'll definitely be recommending you to anyone who needs computer repairs!
I had checked with Best Buy and a few other places, but no one was able to help. I found Lapfix by chance and decided to try one last time. They looked at both laptops, explained what could be done, and successfully repaired both.
The Lenovo screen repair cost less than $300 and was completed in less than a week. For the Microsoft Surface, they also had to work on the software and chip-related issues, and the total was still less than $800. That repair took less than two weeks.
Now both laptops are working perfectly, and I’m very happy with the service. The work was professional, honest, and technically solid. As someone with a background in IT and cybersecurity, I was genuinely impressed.
If you think your laptop cannot be fixed, I recommend checking with them first before spending money on a new one.
I brought it to LapFix and Eric was able to fix the motherboard and repair the BIOS so it could finally boot. I am so unbelievably grateful to Eric and the team at Lapfix for saving this important piece of hardware for my business. Thank you so much!! Eric is a wizard!
Mason completed the work sooner than expected and saved me the considerable replacement cost of a laptop that had become unusable.
I would highly recommend this business. They are professional, provide quick responses to communications, and solved a problem that other repair services I consulted were unable to address.
I like that the guys cracking open machines appear to be the same ones who meet you at the front desk.
Custom Gaming PC FAQ – Common Questions Answered
Can I bring my own parts for you to assemble?
Sure — bring your components in or ship them to our Alexandria shop, and we’ll handle the full assembly, cable management, and testing.
Do you optimize the PC after building it?
Every build goes through BIOS configuration, cooling profile tuning, driver installation, and a full stability and stress test before it leaves our shop.
Do you offer liquid cooling for high-end gaming PCs?
We install both closed-loop AIO coolers and custom liquid loops, depending on your case, budget, and how much thermal headroom you need for overclocking.
I don’t know what parts to choose — can LapFix design the build for me?
Yes. Tell us your budget, the games or software you run, and any must-haves like RGB, size, or noise level, and our techs will spec out a balanced build for you.
Can you upgrade my existing gaming PC instead of building a new one?
In most cases, yes. We can swap in a new GPU, CPU, RAM, or storage, improve airflow, or do a full teardown and rebuild if your case and power supply can support it.
Do you offer a mail-in build service for customers outside the DMV?
Yes — customers anywhere in the U.S. can ship us their parts, or let us source them, for assembly, testing, and return shipping.
Can you replace damaged USB, HDMI, or Ethernet ports?
Often, yes, depending on how the port is mounted on the board. Our techs inspect the damage and tell you whether a repair or a board-level replacement makes more sense before starting.
Can you install a new SSD in my computer?
Yes, and we’ll typically migrate your existing OS and files over so you don’t lose your current setup — this alone can noticeably cut boot and load times.
How long does a custom gaming PC build take?
Most builds take 3–5 business days once parts are on hand. Mail-in orders add shipping time on both ends, and we’ll give you a firm estimate after reviewing your spec.
Do custom builds come with a warranty?
Yes. Our labor is warrantied, and individual components carry their manufacturer warranties — we’ll walk you through the coverage for your specific build.
Can you build a PC for streaming or content creation, not just gaming?
Definitely. We spec builds for simultaneous gaming and streaming, video editing, and other creative workloads — it just changes which components we prioritize.
Is a custom gaming PC more expensive than buying a prebuilt one?
It depends on the spec, but custom builds usually give better price-to-performance, since every dollar goes into parts chosen for your actual use case instead of a bundled case badge or extra software.
