Hello, my name is Gregor Young! I started GY Computing in 2014 which has now become the go-to computer repair company for hundreds of customers across Ayrshire. The main foundations of the business were entirely customer-centric. We are extremely passionate about customer's service, and always make sure we "Exceed the Expectations Every Time"! I strongly believe in going that extra mile, and will make sure that you walk away satisfied!

We are able to offer a free diagnosis of the problem you are experiencing and will be upfront about prices before the commencement of any work. Everything will be explained to you in an easy to understand, jargon-free manner!
As I like to go that bit further for my customers, I will also offer you a free maintenance service with most jobs that includes removing junk files with my recommended software packages which has proved popular!

Microsoft Specialist dealing with a variety of hardware and software related problems. No call out charges apply. All work guaranteed for 6 months, all at an affordable price! Hello! My name is Gregor Young and I am an experienced IT engineer, who started GY Computing in 2014. Computing has always been my passion, and there is nothing I love more than helping people combat their computer issues!
I strongly believe that I offer one of the most affordable computer services you will come across, and I am always upfront about prices - what I quote is what you pay - no more! This comes with an exceptional level of customer service, with an exceptional aftercare service that I believe is nearly impossible to beat! I have a very customer centric attitude and always ensure that expectations are not just met, but exceeded, every time.
When founding the business, my mission was fairly simple - to create an affordable computer repair service, that goes that extra mile for customers, is reliable, honest and reputable.
I can usually offer a same day service, and aim to have all jobs turned around within 24 hours (this may not be possible if parts need to be ordered) . I do not have premises, and therefore I will always attend your house/business, taking away the hassle of having to visit a computer shop! A majority of the repairs are able to be done onsite. In the event that this is not possible, I can take your computer away and return at no extra charge, no matter the location. Additionally, the business is open weekends, and an evening service is available to maximise flexibility - there is no extra charges for either of these options.
I will give you a detailed breakdown of what the problem was and give you advice to put steps in place to avoid the same situation happening again. I promise not to use Jargon and will communicate in an easy to understand way!
As I like to go the extra mile, I will also conduct a free clean up and maintenance check of your computer which will include removing junk files with my recommended software. This has been very popular with previous customer's who have reported vastly improved speeds!
We specialise in PC Repair and Laptop Repair covering a variety of problems, with a particular expertise in all things Microsoft. We love helping our customers. Over 700 have left us glowing 5-star reviews - you can find them on Yell, Google, and Facebook. We also offer a contactless Pick Up + Drop Off service in addition to our home/office service.
Has your PC stopped working? GY Computing are able to offer an extensive testing service, to establish the exact cause of your PC problems. This may be, for example, a problem with your PC powering on, which tends to relate to the power supply unit, or motherboard. Other common issues include CPU fans not working, hard drives failing and RAM failing.
PLEASE NOTE: We don't charge a call out fee to come to your home/office. However, if we diagnose your computer problem but the repair doesn't go ahead then we will charge a 30 diagnosis fee to cover our time, advice and travel. Friendly and super-efficient service was provided in order to fix my laptop, would definitely use GY Computing again and would recommend to others.

Had a great experience with GY computing this week. My laptop needed a repair ASAP, as I use it for University. Gregor replied to my online query within a couple of hours, and came out to my home to fix my laptop within 4 days. The repair was done in 15 minutes, and the price was reasonable, especially considering the great service. Would definitely recommend GY Computing to anyone in need of a quick PC or laptop repair.

Quick, easy and hassle-free service from Gregor. Came over to mine and replaced the battery quickly but then waited to ensure he was happy the battery was charging/operating normally. He also removed a lot of dust from my fan and motherboard as well as topped up the thermal compounds on the cooling mechanisms!

I built my first pc for over 10 years and quite frankly made an absolute mess of it, in the end I gave up and gave GY a call, Gregor came round the next day and quickly diagnosed the power supply as a dud. I then got the replacement plugged it all in and it still didn't work (which it turns out was entirely my fault). Gregor then came back, he diagnosed the fault, got the computer to power on and finished my build for me, he is a great guy, he also charges very reasonable prices.

I had to have a part replaced on an older HP laptop and not only was the issue immediately identified on sight, the part was ordered and fitted in no time at all. As an older laptop it required a new hard drive too, which all in all was very well done. Very fast, very high quality, very good value for money, and great advice. I essentially have a brand new laptop, 10/10 recommend!

I cannot recommend GY Computing highly enough! I thought that my computer was absolutely done and that it - along with all of my precious files and data - was irrecoverable. I called GY computing (seeing that the company was already incredibly highly recommended) in a panic and Gregor (the owner of the company) calmed and reassured me which was wonderful.
After explaining what the issue was, he came out to my flat the next day and got right to work on my laptop. He was able to diagnose the issue very quickly and he took my laptop away and worked through the night to recover my data: as my hard drive was in a pretty critical condition. He kept in great contact with me throughout, reassuring me and giving me updates.
With a lot of hard work he was able to save ALL of my files. He was so transparent and honest with me about every step of the process and recommended new parts (hard drive & RAM etc) based on quality and value for money (he is very knowledgeable about what is good and what isn't!), and he showed me any parts he was purchasing and their prices before he bought anything and made sure I was happy and comfortable with the selections.
My computer was fixed in less than 48 hours and when I came to pick it up, it was all ready to go and he gave me a little run down on what was new - he very kindly replaced my cooling paste free of charge, and to the best brand on the market too! Most importantly, he handed me my old hard drive back and insisted I destroy it myself (he cares a lot about data protection and ethics and it really shows). Gregor was so helpful, kind, reassuring and professional throughout.
He did what I thought was impossible, I'm forever grateful to him, and if I or anyone I know has issues with their computers, GY Computing will be the first point of call! Thank you so much for everything

Can't recommend Gregor enough. My laptop died on me suddenly and I use this for working from home as this is more convenient for me with childcare drop off and pick up nowadays. The panic set in and I contacted Gregor, he came over the next evening and fixed it within 40 minutes with a brand new hard drive. Excellent service - would definitely use again!

Unbelievable talent with repairs! I was so sure that my laptop was nearing the end of its life because of how badly the casing was falling apart but Gregor assured me that it was salvageable and talked me through the whole process on the phone. He dedicated a huge chunk of his time to talk me over the repair and was extremely transparent with me whilst he was ordering a replacement casing for my laptop and made sure that I was okay with minor cosmetic marks that would come with a used case.
I am so extremely pleased! My laptop was repaired by Nick who was extremely polite and very good with communicating when the laptop was finished and accommodated pick up and drop off around my busy schedule. On top of replacing the badly damaged casing, I had some issues with my WiFi connectivity and Nick replaced that too. 5/5 service and I will not hesitate to go back when I have any more issues.

Gregor managed to resolve a Windows 10 update problem for a very affordable price. As a result I did not need to upgrade at this time to a SSD or a new laptop. Gregor told me he is able to supply new laptops at very competitive prices and I will contact him when I need to replace my current laptop. Excellent service thank you.

Reliable and swift service from GY Computing. I received a quick response to my enquiry. Gregor is highly skilled, a good communicator, patient and good as his word. He came to my home and took my computer away. Sorted out the many problems and returned it to me. Excellent repair and excellent service. 5* Company and service.

This is truly one of the best services I've ever experienced!! First of all, Gregor is very professional, clear and genuinely helpful. He contacted me from the beginning to hear about the problem and when he came to see my computer he was absolutely thorough and went through everything he could do to fix it and make it so much better. Besides that, he was lovely in general and respectful, and one can really see that he is passionate about what he does and that shows in his work. He did a wonderful job updating my laptop and it is looking great!

My computer decided to stop working in the middle of the pandemic and with very valuable information in it, so I panicked. I contacted GY Computing without having used their services before and was immediately reassured by their courteous, fast, and efficient service. As there were lockdown restrictions, Gregor came to my home to collect the computer (on a Friday afternoon!) and by Monday evening he came back to deliver my computer, perfectly fixed. I don't have a doubt about who I will call the next time that I have a problem with my computer.

Gregors service was outstanding. He got back to my email within hours and picked up my laptop the same day and had it back to me next morning in perfect condition allowing me to get back on serving my own clients right away. His fee was also wonderful for the service he carries out. I would recommend him to everyone. Thank you my friend

I needed my laptop fixed quickly so I could carry on working from home and Gregor fixed it over the bank holiday weekend. He picked it up and dropped it back off again, responded really quickly and talked about IT in a way I could understand. Really good price and my laptop is faster than it was before. Would highly recommend.

I had been struggling with a particularly difficult issue with my high end gaming PC, it was constantly crashing (BSOD) and seemingly for no reason.
Had a bad experience with another callout company so was wary of contacting another, Gregor was more than professional. He was in constant contact before the appointment and was very accommodating with times (due to prior commitments changing suddenly
He came out and was very detailed on his analysis (however at an appropriate level to my understanding) He spent a decent amount of time sorting out potential issues, eventually deciding to take away the machine to investigate further.
He remained in contact during this time with updates and progress reports and returned the next day with the fixed machine, it now runs like a dream and at a very reasonable price
Gregor is now my go-to computer guy
If on the fence at all if this is the company for you, I cannot recommend enough!

My laptop was riddled with virus', spyware, and trojans. Gregor knew right away how to fix it. He was very quick to respond to my request and within about an hour and a half from the time I contacted him I had a fast, working computer again. Not only did he fix it fast, he was very patient and explained why and what he needed to do to fix the issue. He also showed me how to keep my computer running better. I have recommend him to all of my friends!

Excellent service all round. GY Computing helped me diagnose what was wrong with my computer during a visit to the premises. It turns out my graphics card had stopped working and needed replacing. Once we managed to successfully boot it up using a temporary graphics card he had with him, I managed to quickly backup some important files. A massive thank you for your very quick work in bringing my baby back to life!

I found CGI when I was looking online for someone to come out and help my elderly mum with her internet/email. A supposedly simple wifi installation by John Lewis Broadband had gone wrong, leaving her without even her ethernet connection. The John Lewis technical guys on the phone had not been very helpful … Gregor (CGI) however came to the house and patiently diagnosed the problem. He refused to take any payment until he'd got it working. Only £40 in all, and very friendly, helpful service. Would definitely recommend him to others.

Gregor came to my house to fix my computer, he's the nicest young man I have meet. And he knows his stuff about computers. He had to take my pc away, and he kept me informed about it. He had a lot of work to do on my pc. It's back now and running fantastic. He is very experienced and I had my pc back in a couple of days. I highly recommend gregor and his company. Thank you.

Brilliant service from CGI! Gregor initially helped with an e-mail issue and took my laptop away, upgraded Windows, installed new security software and looked at programs which caused it to run slowly. Also was very patient and explained everything to me as I'm a techno dinosaur! Great pricing too - will definitely be using CGI for my annual laptop health check!

Gregor picked the laptop up from our house and when repaired dropped back off. He explained the problem clearly and communication was excellent with him keeping us updated from start to finish. The laptop was returned quickly even although a part had to be ordered. I would highly recommend CGI Computing, excellent job Gregor, thank you!
