About Advantec

A Trusted Independent Computer Repair Shop in Tenterden

Established in 2008, Advantec Computing is a friendly independent computer repair shop in the heart of Tenterden. We help home users and small businesses with PC, laptop and Mac problems — and we explain everything in plain English before you spend a penny.

Dan leads the repair work at Advantec, supported by additional technicians when the workshop is busy. He has around 30 years of hands-on computer-repair experience, including 22 years running repair shops. At roughly 520 repairs a year, that amounts to more than 10,000 jobs. Around 59 out of every 60 repair jobs we accept are completed successfully; if the initial diagnosis shows that a repair is not realistic or worth the cost, we say so before paid work begins.

01

Experience That Comes From Doing the Work

Decades spent diagnosing real Windows PCs, laptops, MacBooks, iMacs and small-business systems — backed up by careful testing and honest advice.

02

Transparent Pricing

No hidden fees, no surprises. We provide detailed quotes before any work begins, with competitive rates.

03

Quick Turnaround Where Possible

Straightforward repairs may be completed the same day when workload and parts allow. We explain the likely timescale after diagnosis and keep you updated if it changes.

Honest Advice First

We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Not every laptop or PC should be repaired. Sometimes a simple SSD upgrade transforms an older computer for the cost of a takeaway. Sometimes replacement makes more sense than fixing a tired machine. We’ll diagnose first, explain the options honestly, and tell you straight whether the spend is worth it — before you commit a penny.

Sometimes a £40 SSD upgrade is a much better answer than a £150 motherboard replacement. We’ll be straight with you either way.
