Why People Look for a Geek Squad Alternative
Big-box repair counters are convenient, but a lot of people walk away with the same frustrations: a fee just to look at the device, a repair that gets shipped to a service center, and weeks of waiting with no one to call who actually worked on it. FixStop is a locally owned repair shop in Orlando built around the opposite approach.
FixStop vs. Big-Box Tech Support
- Diagnostics: Free at FixStop for phones, tablets, computers, and consoles. Gaming PCs are $30, and that goes toward the repair. Many big-box services charge a diagnostic fee first. Does Geek Squad charge for diagnostics?
- Where the repair happens: Every FixStop repair is done in our own shop by our own technicians. Big-box services often send devices out to a central repair facility.
- Turnaround: Most FixStop repairs are done within 24 hours, and iPhone screens take about an hour. Mail-out repairs can take days or weeks.
- Advanced repairs: We do motherboard repair and micro soldering in-house, the kind of work that usually gets a device declared unfixable elsewhere.
- Who you talk to: At FixStop you talk to the technician working on your device, not a call center.
Everything You Would Bring to a Tech Counter
We repair iPhones, Samsung and other phones, iPads, laptops, MacBooks, desktops, PS5 and other game consoles, and TVs. We also build custom gaming PCs and recover data from failed drives.
We Also Come to You
If you were looking at in-home tech support, we do that too. Book in-home computer repair for computers, Wi-Fi, and printers, or in-home TV repair so you never have to move a big screen.
