PC repair in Vallauris and Golfe-Juan
PC repair and troubleshooting in Vallauris, Golfe-Juan and Super-Vallauris. I work at your home from my workshop in Le Cannet (10 min), with clear pricing (from €60) and the call-out included from €60 of work. No jargon, no fanciful quotes: an honest diagnosis and a clean repair.
In Vallauris and Golfe-Juan, I mainly help private individuals and small self-employed people: tradespeople, shopkeepers, self-employed professionals and many retirees who just need their PC or printer to work again without having to understand all the technical side. My approach is educational: I explain what happened in plain French, and I give 2-3 simple tips to stop it happening again.
The most frequent faults I handle here: very slow PC (often an old hard drive to replace with an SSD), printer that has stopped working since an update, Wi-Fi that cuts out in the terraced houses of the town centre or the villas up in Super-Vallauris, suspicious emails or pop-ups (fake Microsoft support scam, fake Améli or tax email). No exotic problems — solid, well-done repairs.
For the shopkeepers and tradespeople of Vallauris (ceramics shops, restaurateurs, art craftspeople), I offer a quick response so as not to hold up your business: a PC till that crashes, a temperamental Wi-Fi payment terminal, an online diary that no longer syncs. Often sorted in under an hour on site.

Frequently asked questions
My PC is very slow, do I need to buy a new one?expand_more
Not necessarily, and it's often even pointless. On a 5-8 year old PC that still works, a software clean-up + replacing the hard drive with an SSD gives it a new lease of life for €150-250 in total. You avoid €600-1000 of an unnecessary new PC.
Do you work up in Super-Vallauris in the heights?expand_more
Yes, at no extra charge. Same call-out rate as the town centre. For isolated villas with Wi-Fi coverage problems, possibly allow for a Mesh system (quote depending on area).
I'm 75, I'm lost with my computer. Do you take the time to explain?expand_more
Yes, it's actually an important part of what I do. I work for many retirees in Vallauris: getting to grips with everyday tools (email, Doctolib, France Connect, WhatsApp), security advice, a clear and stable setup. Jargon-free guidance, at your own pace.
My printer has refused to work since a Windows update.expand_more
A classic case. The update has often broken the driver or the printer's Wi-Fi connection. Clean reinstallation, full test on site. 1 h max, problem solved.
Do you charge for the call-out to Vallauris?expand_more
Included for any job over €60. Otherwise a €15 charge for very short jobs.
