Why Virginia Tech sends us their tech
A student- and faculty-friendly repair shop for the Virginia Tech community — fast triage, straight answers, and turnaround that respects your Canvas calendar.
Most of our Virginia Tech customers come from Upper Quad, Oak Lane, Prices Fork and the areas around Torgersen Hall and Newman Library. Getting here is easy: From campus, head south on Main St / 460 toward Christiansburg. Take Exit 3B (Peppers Ferry Rd), turn onto New River Rd — 782 New River Rd, inside the Uptown Christiansburg mall. Roughly 15–20 minutes depending on game-day traffic.
The problems we see most from Virginia Tech are backlight, hinge, and keyboard failures on 3+ year old student laptops, ssd replacement and windows/macos clone before finals week, gpu thermal issues on gaming laptops during long study sessions. Whatever yours turns out to be, the diagnostic is $25 — credited toward your repair — and you'll have a written price before we start.
What neighbors say
“Skyler was knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to explain everything in a way that actually made sense. He didn't try to upsell me or use a bunch of technical jargon — just honest advice and quality work. My issue was resolved quickly and pricing was fair. It's great having a local business you can trust for tech support in the New River Valley.”
“They created a fantastic logo for NRV Food Fest that captured exactly what I was looking for, and their printing services have been fast, professional, and high quality every time. They've also helped with our computer repairs, getting everything back up and running quickly without the stress.”
“Helped me with an image I needed printed to perfection. Really good customer service.”
Custom PC Builds questions from Virginia Tech
Can I supply my own parts?▾
Absolutely. Bring the box of parts and we'll assemble, wire, flash the BIOS, install Windows and stress test it. We'll also flag any compatibility problems before you buy if you send us the list first.
Do you build for streaming and content creation too?▾
Yes — editing and streaming rigs need different balance than pure gaming builds, usually more cores, RAM and fast storage. Tell us the software you live in and we'll spec around it.
