PC repair in Antibes
Independent computer technician for Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, La Fontonne and the Vieil Antibes. Same-day home visits for emergencies, workshop handling in Le Cannet (10 minutes by motorway) for longer faults. Free diagnosis, payment only if the repair succeeds.
Antibes has a very broad mix of customers: permanent residents (families, retirees, self-employed professionals), second-home owners who come for the season, and freelancers/remote workers who make the most of being close to Sophia Antipolis. Each has different needs: work emergencies for the working population, calm and patient repairs for seniors, quick jobs during a short stay for second homes.
My PC repairs in Antibes cover all the classics: a PC that no longer starts, a broken laptop screen, slowness after a Windows update, unstable Wi-Fi, viruses and scams, a printer that refuses to scan, setting up a new computer. La Fontonne and the Vieil Antibes call on me a lot for Wi-Fi problems in old buildings with thick walls — a typical case that calls for a proper zone-by-zone analysis, not just a change of router.
Antibes is 10 minutes from my workshop in Le Cannet via the A8. Call-out included for any job over €60. For emergencies (a work PC that crashes on a Tuesday morning), I do my best to come the same day. For faults requiring the workshop, I collect your PC from your home, work on it in Le Cannet, and bring it back tested and working — you don't have to go anywhere.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work in Juan-les-Pins during the season?expand_more
Yes — many second-home owners call on us in June-July to get their setup running again after the year away. Wi-Fi configuration, family PC updates, checking backups: a typical 1-2 h job.
My PC has crashed the day before an important video call, can you come quickly?expand_more
A frequent case. If you call me before 4-5 pm, I try to come the same evening or very early the next day. For really critical cases, I sometimes have a loan PC to leave with you while the workshop repair is done.
The Wi-Fi drags in the Vieil Antibes, is it possible to improve it?expand_more
Yes, and it's one of the cases where the audit makes all the difference. Old buildings = thick walls = signal that collapses quickly. Solution: a Mesh system of 2-3 units (€250-500 depending on area). Stable coverage guaranteed after installation.
I clicked on a suspicious email, can you check my PC?expand_more
Yes, and it's actually important to do it quickly. I analyse the PC, check the indicators of compromise, clean it up if needed, and change the critical passwords with you. Allow €60-100 depending on the scale.
How much does a call-out to Antibes cost?expand_more
Included for any job over €60. For short jobs (15-30 min) under €60, a €15 call-out charge.
