Complex Systems Direct Complex Systems was founded in 1996 originally as a software design company. We provided Consumer Credit Management Systems to the finance sector and developed POS and Stock Control software as well as various other projects including webdesign.

In 2003 the company concentrated more fully on support providing hardware and software services to business and residential customers.

In 2004 the company became a limited company and in 2005 we moved to a retail outlet in Tewkesbury. From here we continue to provide hardware and software services as well as being stockists of all major components and peripherals. We also still provide web & email services.

Our speciality is in PC & Laptop Repairs right down to component level repairs providing customers with a clear charging structure so that they know at the outset how much the repair will cost.

We were (as far as we know) the first company to offer 5 Year Parts & Labour Warranties as standard on all our PCs from 2005 and from 2008 this became another industry first changing to a Lifetime Parts & Labour Warranty on all our PCs. We believe passionately in our high levels of support and expertise and the Lifetime Warranty reflected our committment to making IT and us as a chosen support company - a simple one!

Spilt water on my MacBook Air and thought I'd lost it (and the data on it) forever, more so when several repairers were so negative. Complex Systems fixed it quickly and at an entirely reasonable price. Many thanks Steve!

A new hard drive was required for my sons laptop. The different hard drives were explained to me and the repair was done within a day. Excellent service and reasonably priced. Would definitely use CSD again

What an excellent service! It was good to be able to talk and get intelligible explanations of issues and choices when my laptop suffered a major failure, and the repair cost was very acceptable.

Fast, fairly priced, and friendly repair centre. It goes without saying that a smaller computer repair service compared to some of the other larger chains such as PC World is usually going to be better for the more personal touch, but CSD Ltd made the process of repairing my PC painless from start to finish. They were easy to get a hold of for updates, provided plenty of information about the fault and PC maintenance, and gave me every reassurance about how my data would be handled securely - benefits you won't find with a larger repair chain. The repair was finished on time as per the estimate given on day one, and the service throughout was excellent.

I'm very pleased with the service from Complex Systems Direct. They repaired my laptop in a couple of days and kept me informed about its progress throughout. If my laptop 'dies' again, I'll use this repairer again.

Ticket 1022218 My i7 PC randomly froze so I took it to Complex Systems to see what was wrong. The technician and the communication were good but the diagnostic was to reinstall the OS (which I'd already done). After being told the PC was fixed I left it running overnight and the problem reoccurred. I rummaged around the Internet for a few hours and found that the problem was caused by C-States in the bios. The problem went away after I disabled them myself.

Great friendly service, my son's Apple laptop screen didn't work, the guy knew exactly what the problem was, then ran diagnostics and confirmed, had the laptop back within 3 working days fully functioning. Couldn't be happier with the service and professionalism, would highly recommend. Being a small local business as well its great to support but also very important to get greats service, Well done

First class all round! Clear, fair, pricing and clear advice. Excellent communication. Job done quickly and on time. All very confidence building, and absolutely no sense of being bamboozled by a juvenile 'techie' that you get so often elsewhere.

Excellent experience after having discovered Complex Systems through eBay. My Macbook Pro Retina 2012, like many, experienced discrete graphics issues owing to poor solder of the graphics power chip. CS repaired this down to component level and kept me updated every step of the way. Fantastic - I hope I use again, but equally hope I won't have any other faulty systems! Thanks & Best Wishes, Tom.

I own a 14 year-old iMac which runs some old but very useful software which would be extremely expensive to replace. The computer died and I phoned a number of Mac specialists in vain - 'no spares available for a computer of that age.' I took it to my local shop in Tewkesbury and within a week it was repaired and running as well as ever. The cost was very reasonable and service excellent. I cannot recommend the service highly enough.

I took our lap top in for repair and within one week I had I collected it fully repaired and back working superbly again. Throughout this short journey of repair, I was updated regularly by text, providing all the advice and information needed, and the customer service in the shop by Steve was excellent. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Complex Systems Direct.

I was very pleased with the help I received when I wanted to change my ‘new to me’ laptop to my account and to have it checked. I was kept informed by text and email as to the progress of the work, which I really appreciated, and when I began using the laptop Steve was very helpful on the phone when I had some basic problems.

Very helpful staff, fixed a laptop which wouldn’t boot and did data recovery on an external drive that had failed. All work was completed in the agreed time. Fixed price meant no nasty surprises. Ability to go on-line and see status of the work was really helpful.

My old DELL PC tower refused to start-up and following investigation Complex Systems found the ‘mother board’ had failed. Replaced and returned to me fully functional within 4 days. Kept informed of progress throughout and cost of repair minimal. Great service from a local engineer.
Phillip Hicks
They certainly know what they are talking about. Totally professional, they listened to my explanation of the fault on Computer, and then I left it with them for any repairs that were required. Computer was repaired in 24 hrs, I was fully informed by the CSD Ltd for each step of the work the did up to completion. You just don't get Service like this theses days, it was a pleasure to be able to use them. I am 100% satisfied.
Derek Day
Repair to an IPad that would not charge. I found Steve very helpful and friendly. I collected the IPad the next day fully charged and working perfectly. The problem was a faulty charger. I felt the service I received was excellent and l was not overcharged for the replacement charger. I would recommend him if you had a faulty phone, tablet or computer.
Judith Ann Harrison
This is the 2nd time Steve has saved me regarding Windows 10 update. I explained that I had important data I needed to save and he took a note of all things I needed saving. I was kept informed via text and email at every stage of repair. This morning I collected my repaired laptop and I'm up and running. I'm no technology expert but everything was explained to me and I'm so grateful. I am 100% satisfied and I would recommend Steve to anyone. There was a free gift I found when I got home too. This just leaves me to say a big Thank You

Had my laptop repaired here more than once. Have found the service excellent. Quick sound advice, problems permanently resolved bythe expert technician. Will always go back for all my device problems.
Christina Bryant
Had to have the keyboard replaced on my laptop due to water splashing on the top. Complex systems diagnosed, ordered the parts and repaired it in 4 days and kept me informed via text/email throughout. After the diagnostic test they inform you of the cost and have the option to pull out if you don't want to go ahead. Although I do not have a great deal of experience regarding computer repairs, I thought this was repaired at very reasonable price, I believe they are trustworthy and I would not consider going anywhere else. Plus you receive a free gift on collection and who doesn't like a freebie!!
