Affordable Computer Repair Across Perth's Southern Suburbs
FixMyPC Perth is a specialist computer repair service based in Canning Vale, Western Australia. We serve customers across the entire southern Perth metro area, including Willetton, Thornlie, Gosnells, Cannington, Bentley, Kelmscott, Armadale, Jandakot, Cockburn, Murdoch, Winthrop, Bull Creek, Riverton and Rossmoyne. Whether you need a quick virus removal, a laptop screen replaced, or a full custom gaming PC assembled from scratch, we offer the same flat-rate upfront pricing with no hidden fees on every job.
Unlike franchise computer repair chains or department store tech desks, FixMyPC Perth is a dedicated specialist workshop run by a single qualified technician. When you drop your computer off, the person who books it in is the same person who diagnoses, repairs, tests and hands it back to you. There are no unnecessary handoffs, no front desk staff who cannot answer your questions, and no multi-week repair backlogs. Most jobs are turned around on the same day.
How Computer Repair is Priced in Perth
One of the most common frustrations Perth residents have with computer repair is not knowing what they will be charged until they pick up the machine. Some services charge a diagnostic fee upfront, then add labour on top, then add call-out fees, and the final invoice looks nothing like what was expected. At FixMyPC Perth, we have a different approach. Every service on this page has a fixed price that covers the diagnostic and all labour. You agree to that price before we start. If parts are needed, such as a replacement screen, battery or SSD, those are quoted separately and confirmed with you before anything is ordered. The invoice you pay is the price you agreed to. That is the complete story.
Our all-in repair fee of $120 is the most common starting point. It covers the full diagnostic, whatever labour is required to fix the identified problem, and a 30-day warranty on that work. It is not a deposit, it is not a starting point that climbs from there. For customers in Canning Vale, Willetton, Cannington and the surrounding suburbs, this flat-fee model means you always know exactly where you stand before leaving your machine with us.
Virus Removal in Perth: What to Expect
Malware and virus infections are one of the most common computer problems we see in Perth. They range from irritating browser redirects and pop-up ads all the way through to ransomware that can lock you out of your own files. Our virus removal service costs $99 and covers everything: a full deep scan using professional-grade tools, complete removal of all identified threats, cleanup of any browser hijacking or extension injection, and proper security setup to reduce the chance of reinfection. Most infections are cleared and the machine returned to you on the same day you bring it in.
A common mistake people make when they suspect a virus is trying to fix it themselves by downloading free tools from the internet. Unfortunately, many of those tools are themselves malware in disguise. If your antivirus has disappeared, your browser homepage has changed without your input, or you are seeing warnings asking you to call a phone number to fix a problem, do not click anything or call anyone. Bring the machine to us first. We will tell you exactly what is on it and what needs to happen to clean it properly.
SSD Upgrades: The Best Investment for a Slow Perth PC
If your computer is running on an old spinning hard drive, upgrading to a solid-state drive is the single most cost-effective improvement you can make. A five-year-old laptop that takes four minutes to start Windows can be transformed into a machine that starts in under twenty seconds, not by replacing it, but by swapping the storage drive. Every other part of the computer works the same, but the experience is dramatically different.
Our SSD upgrade service covers fitting the drive and transferring your entire existing Windows installation, all applications and all your personal files across to the new drive. Nothing is lost in the process. If you supply your own SSD, the labour cost is $65. If you prefer us to source a quality Samsung or Crucial drive, a 500GB option is $150 all-in and 1TB is $185. For most home users in Willetton, Thornlie and Canning Vale, the 500GB option is plenty. If you use your machine for video editing or store large collections of photos and media, the 1TB version gives comfortable room to grow.
Data Recovery in Perth: Act Quickly for the Best Outcome
Losing access to your photos, documents and work files is one of the most stressful things that can happen with a computer. Whether your hard drive is making clicking sounds, your SSD has stopped being recognised by Windows, or your laptop just will not boot anymore, there is a good chance your data is still recoverable as long as you stop using the device immediately.
Every time a failing drive is accessed, you risk overwriting data that could otherwise be recovered. The most important thing you can do if you suspect a failing drive is to power the machine off and bring it to us as soon as possible. Our data recovery service for failing drives starts at $149. For completely dead drives that will not spin or mount, we operate a strict no-fix, no-fee policy. If we cannot recover your files, you pay nothing. The $249 fee only applies if we are successful.
Gaming PC Builds and Upgrades in Perth
Perth has a large and enthusiastic gaming community, and FixMyPC is the local specialist for custom PC assembly, upgrades and performance tuning in the southern suburbs. Whether you have sourced parts from a local retailer or ordered a full component list online, we can assemble, configure and benchmark your build before handover. Assembly labour starts at $120 and includes full cable management, driver installation and benchmark testing so you know exactly what performance to expect when you take it home.
We also handle individual gaming-focused services including GPU installation and driver setup from $60, CPU cooler installation from $80, and BIOS and PBO performance tuning from $60. PBO tuning in particular is one of the most overlooked performance upgrades for AMD Ryzen systems, typically delivering 10 to 15 percent more CPU performance from hardware you already own without any additional cost for parts.
Computer Repair in Canning Vale, Willetton, Thornlie and Cannington
Our workshop is based at 7 Barraberry Retreat in Canning Vale, which puts us within a short drive of a large portion of Perth's southern suburbs. Customers regularly come to us from Willetton, Thornlie, Cannington, Gosnells, Bentley, Kelmscott, Armadale, Murdoch, Winthrop, Bull Creek, Riverton, Rossmoyne, Jandakot, Cockburn, Melville, Leeming, Bateman, Parkwood, Langford, Wilson, East Cannington, Southern River and Forrestdale.
If you are in any of these suburbs and need a computer looked at, there is no need to drive into the Perth CBD or post your laptop to a repair centre somewhere interstate. Drop it off at our Canning Vale location, usually on the same day and often back in your hands the same afternoon. For networking and printer work, we can also come to you across the southern suburbs with a $40 callout fee.
Remote PC Support Across Western Australia
Not every computer problem requires a physical repair. For software issues, settings changes, email configuration, Microsoft Office setup and general guidance, we offer remote support sessions via AnyDesk at $45 per hour. Sessions can be booked the same day and are available to customers anywhere in Western Australia. If you are not sure whether your problem needs a physical drop-off or can be handled remotely, message us on WhatsApp and we will give you an honest assessment at no charge.
Business IT Support for Small Perth Businesses
In addition to our consumer computer repair services, FixMyPC Perth also supports small and medium businesses across the southern Perth metro area with managed IT support plans. If your business relies on computers running properly and you need reliable support without the cost of an internal IT team, our monthly plans start from $149 per month with no lock-in contracts. See our Business IT Support page for full details.
