Computer Wall
That slow computer is probably fixable.
Tell us the symptom. We'll tell you if it's worth bringing in.
Nothing costs you a dollar before you say yes.
Call, text, or walk in. We help you decide whether it's even worth bringing in.
Proper diagnosis, not a guess at the counter. Most cases answered by the next business day.
Repair, deeper paid diagnosis, or the plain truth that it isn't worth fixing. If we find something else along the way, we call before doing more work.
90 days on every approved repair.
Where a repair lands depends on how much work it actually takes. Small things cost less. We are not going to bill you $179 to sort out an email password. Parts are quoted separately. If you do not like the number, you take it home and you owe us nothing. No surprise bills, either: if we find something else along the way, we call before doing more work.
Patrick and Marlena. That's the whole shop.
A husband and wife shop on our own property in Stony Plain. Patrick trained over seven years on the bench at CD Computers in Spruce Grove, plus a degree in Network Systems Administration.
We built Computer Wall small and kept it that way for a reason. It's just the two of us and our costs are low, so your repair never has to carry anything but itself. Nothing is riding on selling you more than your machine needs, and that's exactly what frees us to tell you the truth and fix only what's actually wrong. Your support comes straight to us, the people who did the work. That's the whole reason we can afford to be honest with you, and we refuse to run this shop any other way.
Dale Evjen incorporated Soft Effects Inc. in 1986 and ran it from a Stony Plain home for 28 years. When he passed away in 2022, his family chose us to carry it on. The name on the door is the only thing that changed.
Also on the shelf: refurbished PCs, and the hard cases. End-of-life laptops, rare boards, intermittent faults nobody can reproduce, machines another shop returned unsolved. If you were told it can't be fixed, bring it here.
Closed Saturday and Sunday. No appointment needed during walk-in hours. Driving in from out of town? A quick call or text first and we'll have everything ready when you arrive.
No. Walk in during posted hours. Onsite visits are by appointment, outside walk-in hours.
Nothing to start. The first look is free, and we call with a flat price before anything costs you a dollar.
Most cases are diagnosed by the next business day. We call you before spending a dollar.
Yes, before any paid step. That advice is part of every drop-off.
We discuss backup options before any work that puts data at risk, and tell you what's recoverable before paid recovery begins.
Yes. Mac and Windows, laptops and desktops. Tablets too.
