Comprehensive repair and upgrade services for all computers. From hardware failures to software issues — we handle it all with honest, jargon-free advice.

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.
Decades spent diagnosing real Windows PCs, laptops, MacBooks, iMacs and small-business systems — backed up by careful testing and honest advice.
No hidden fees, no surprises. We provide detailed quotes before any work begins, with competitive rates.
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.

We test the agreed repair before collection and explain what was done, the applicable warranty and any follow-up advice.
We’ve been a real local repair shop in Tenterden since 2008 — and the kindest, most useful place to read what our customers actually think is on our Google Business Profile.
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.
A few practical things that make the visit easier — for both of us.
Please collect your device promptly once it is ready. Devices left without collection or meaningful contact for 90 days are handled under our uncollected-device policy, including a final written notice before any further action.
