Radford University Students

Free on-campus pickup & delivery for Radford University students

Your RU student ID makes pickup and delivery free — normally $20 round trip. Your laptop is collected in Radford and delivered back once it's repaired, all fixed in our Christiansburg shop by the people who quoted it.

Free

On-campus pickup & delivery

Normally $20. Show a current Virginia Tech or Radford University ID and the round trip is free — we pick the device up from your dorm, apartment, or a spot on campus and bring it back when it's finished.

Free

Upfront diagnostic

Diagnostics are always free. We tell you exactly what's wrong and what it costs before anything is touched — no guessing, no parts cannon.

Same-day / 24–72 hrs

Back before your deadline

Most software and overheating jobs are fixed same-day, and repairs with parts in stock are back in 24–72 hours. Tell us your due date and we'll be straight with you.

A shop that answers the phone

Radford students shouldn't have to drive to Roanoke or ship a laptop across the country to get it looked at. We're 20 minutes away, we keep common laptop screens, batteries, charge ports, and SSDs in stock, and you talk to the technician working on your machine — not a queue. Diagnosis, exact price, your approval, then work. That's the whole process.

Pickup and delivery in Radford

No car or no time between classes? Show your Radford ID and pickup from campus housing, apartments around Tyler Avenue and East Main, or Fairlawn is free — delivery back to the same place included when the repair is finished.

What we fix for RU students

How the student deal works

  1. Step 1

    Tell us what's wrong

    Book online or call. Mention you're a Radford University student and whether you want to drop it off or have us pick it up.

  2. Step 2

    Free campus pickup

    Show your student ID and we collect the device from campus and bring it back when it's done — the $20 travel charge is on us.

  3. Step 3

    You approve the price

    We test the device, find the actual fault, and text or email the exact repair cost. Nothing happens until you say yes.

  4. Step 4

    Get it back fast

    Pick up in Christiansburg, or have it delivered back to campus free — every repair carries a 90-day warranty on parts and labor.

The fine print (there isn't much)

  • · Show a current Virginia Tech or Radford University student ID to the driver on pickup (or at drop-off).
  • · Free on-campus pickup and delivery replaces our standard $20 round-trip travel charge — the trip to campus and back costs you nothing.
  • · Diagnostics are free for everyone, students included — you still approve any repair and its price before we start.
  • · Parts are billed at cost. Labor is quoted upfront — no surprise charges.

Student questions

How does the Radford student discount work?+

Show a current Radford University student ID when you book or hand the device to our driver, and the standard $20 round-trip pickup and delivery charge is waived. We diagnose the machine, quote the exact repair cost, and only start once you approve it.

Do you pick up from Radford?+

Yes — free with your Radford student ID. We cover the round trip between Radford and our Christiansburg shop: residence halls, apartments off Tyler Avenue or East Main, or Fairlawn. We collect the device and bring it back when the repair is done.

How far is the shop from Radford University?+

About 20 minutes up 460 or I-81. We're at 782 New River Rd STE 750 inside the Uptown Christiansburg mall, beside Henebry's Jewelers and across from Bath & Body Works.

How long will my repair take?+

Most software and overheating jobs are fixed same-day, and most other repairs finish in 24–72 hours when parts are in stock. If you're up against a deadline, say so when you book — we'll tell you straight whether we can make it.

Can you recover files from a laptop that won't start?+

Usually. We pull coursework, photos, and project files off failing hard drives, dead SSDs, and non-booting laptops, and we tell you what's actually recoverable before you spend anything.

Do you fix desktops and consoles, not just laptops?+

Yes — desktops, gaming PCs, MacBooks and iMacs, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. Free student pickup and delivery covers all of it.

Free campus pickup. Student ID. That's it.
