A PC that actually runs the way it should.
Slow startup, constant popups, a laptop that won't connect to Wi-Fi, or a new build that needs to be put together right — MacKinnon Tech handles PC repair, cleanup, and custom builds for home and business systems.
Diagnosed properly. Fixed right.
Every repair or build starts with understanding what the system actually needs — not guessing.
Diagnostics first
Before anything is replaced or reinstalled, the actual problem gets identified — slow performance, overheating, infections, or failing hardware.
Cleanup & optimization
Startup bloat, junk programs, and background clutter removed so the system boots and runs the way it should.
Virus & malware removal
Popups, browser hijacks, and infections cleaned up, with basic protection put in place to help prevent a repeat.
Hardware upgrades
RAM increases, SSD swaps, GPU upgrades, and cooling fixes — installed correctly and tested before handoff.
Custom builds
Gaming or work PCs built to spec, assembled cleanly, and benchmarked before they reach you.
Honest pricing
A clear estimate before any work starts. No vague flat fees and no surprise charges after the fact.
Also building? Built by hand. Built to last.
MacKinnon Tech has about 8 years of hands-on custom PC building experience — gaming rigs, workstation builds, and home office systems, assembled and tuned the same careful way every time. Build labor starts at $150.
Honest pricing, listed up front.
The $40 diagnostic fee applies even if no fault is found, the repair is declined, or the device is beyond repair — it may be applied toward an approved repair, which is confirmed with you at the time. All PC repair and cleaning services are drop-off only.
Cleaning Services
Additional charges may apply for unusual conditions — heavy contamination, smoke residue, pest contamination, corrosion, liquid damage, specialty thermal materials, or extensive disassembly. These are inspected first, and any additional work is explained and approved before it begins.
Parts are not included unless specifically stated. Additional work will not be performed beyond an approved estimate or maximum authorized amount without your approval. See the full pricing overview and PC Repair Terms for estimate and authorization details.
A clear process, start to finish.
Every build or repair follows the same straightforward path — no guesswork, no surprises.
Consultation
A direct conversation about what the system needs to do and where it's falling short today.
Use-case discussion
Gaming, work, streaming, or general use — the build or repair plan follows the actual use case.
Budget planning
A realistic budget set up front, so every recommendation fits what you're actually willing to spend.
Parts recommendation
Specific components recommended and explained — what they do and why they're the right fit.
Build or upgrade plan
A clear plan for the build or upgrade before any parts are ordered or any case is opened.
Assembly / repair / optimization
The hands-on work — assembled, repaired, or upgraded, then tuned for the way it'll actually be used.
Testing and validation
Stress-tested, benchmarked, and checked for stability and temperatures before it's called done.
Final handoff and support
A walkthrough of what was done, plus support afterward if questions come up.
Tell me what's going on.
Most repairs start with a quick description of the problem — what the computer is doing, when it started, and what's already been tried. From there I'll give you a straight answer on what it needs.
