Who We Help in Essex
A computer problem looks different depending on what you rely on it for. It might be a laptop you use for school, a work computer that’s become too slow to get through the day, or a home computer holding years of files and photos.
Whatever brings you in from Essex, we’ll help you figure out whether repairing the computer makes sense. If it doesn’t, you can also look at refurbished Mac and PC laptops or ask what your old device may be worth.
What We Do for Essex Customers
Mac and PC Repair
Cracked screens, worn-out batteries, slow computers, storage upgrades, operating system problems, and other common hardware and software issues. Most repairs start at $99 plus parts, and many can be completed the same day when the necessary parts are in stock and repair complexity allows. We’ll quote the work before we start.

Questions from Essex Customers
Is It Worth Driving in from Essex for a Repair?
Many repairs can be completed the same day when the necessary parts are in stock and repair complexity allows. If you’re not sure whether your computer is worth repairing, contact us with the model and problem first so you have a better idea of your options before coming into Burlington.
Do You Make House Calls in Essex?
Yes. Computers for Change provides home and office visits. Visits start at $120 for the first hour, including travel within approximately 15 minutes of Burlington, with a one-hour minimum. Additional time is billed at $100 per hour in 15-minute increments. Travel farther from Burlington incurs an additional fee; confirm the total for your address before booking.
What If My Laptop Isn’t Worth Fixing?
You have other options under the same roof. Ask what your old device may be worth, browse the refurbished Mac and PC laptops currently in stock, and add data transfer if you need your files moved to the replacement.
How Much Does Computer Repair Cost?
Most repairs start at $99 plus parts, with the final price depending on the device, parts needed, and difficulty of the repair. Quick on-the-spot evaluations that do not require leaving your computer are free. If we resolve the issue during diagnosis without replacement parts, the charge is $99. If you leave your computer for diagnosis and no repair is completed, a $50 bench fee applies.
Can I Replace My Computer the Same Day If It Can’t Be Repaired?
Depending on current inventory, yes. Computers for Change stocks refurbished Mac and PC laptops in-store, so if repairing your old computer doesn’t make sense, you may be able to choose a replacement and have your data transferred without making another trip.
Can I Buy a Refurbished Laptop Online and Have It Shipped to Essex?
Not currently. Refurbished retail computers are sold in-store rather than shipped, so you can see what’s available and choose your machine at the Burlington shop.
