Computer Repair in South Austin

PC Genie serves South Austin residents from our Downtown Dobie Mall location on Guadalupe Street — a quick drive north on S Lamar or S 1st. Walk-ins welcome for PCs, laptops, Macs, and gaming computers. Diagnostics $50 standard ($99 gaming PC), repair labor from $99/hr.

Computer Repair for South Lamar, SoCo, Manchaca & Beyond

South Austin stretches from the eclectic shops of South Congress (SoCo) and the food trailers along South Lamar all the way down to the big-box retail hub at Southpark Meadows. Whether you live near the Broken Spoke on S Lamar, grab breakfast tacos on Manchaca Road, or shop near Slaughter Lane and William Cannon, your closest PC Genie location is the Downtown Dobie Mall shop at 2025 Guadalupe St, Suite #260.

We repair the full range of devices that South Austin residents depend on: home desktops that have slowed to a crawl, laptops with cracked screens or dead batteries, MacBooks with liquid damage, and gaming rigs that overheat mid-session. Our technicians diagnose the real issue, give you a clear written estimate, and only start work after you approve it. No scare tactics, no unnecessary upsells.

Getting to PC Genie from South Austin

From most South Austin neighborhoods, the fastest route to our Dobie Mall shop is north on S Lamar Blvd, which becomes Guadalupe St as you approach the UT campus. Alternatively, take S 1st Street north to Cesar Chavez, then head west on Guadalupe. The drive from Slaughter Lane typically takes 20–25 minutes, and from South Congress or St. Elmo you can be at our door in about 12–15 minutes, depending on traffic.

Parking: Free street parking is available on 21st St and Wittliff St, directly adjacent to the Dobie Mall entrance. Metered parking is also available along Guadalupe St. There is no need to pay for the Dobie parking garage — the side-street spots are usually available during our business hours.

Why South Austin Residents Choose PC Genie

South Austin has a strong independent streak, and PC Genie fits right in. We are a locally owned repair shop — not a franchise, not a big-box service counter. You talk directly to the technician working on your machine. We carry parts for common repairs in stock, which means many jobs are done same-day or next-day. For laptops and MacBooks, we handle screen replacements, battery swaps, keyboard repairs, and SSD upgrades without sending your device off-site.
