The Computer Cellar is a locally owned and operated computer repair shop in downtown Durham’s historic 9th Street district, serving the community since 2010. We specialize in real, hands-on repairs for PCs and Macs—focusing on fixing devices properly rather than pushing replacements or unnecessary upgrades. Our work includes hardware repairs such as screens, hinges, storage upgrades, power issues, and liquid damage, as well as software troubleshooting, malware removal, operating system repairs, and performance issues. We also build custom desktop PCs, sell professionally refurbished computers, and handle data transfers and basic data recovery. We operate as a walk-in repair shop—no appointments—because technology problems don’t schedule themselves. This means honest diagnostics, realistic timelines, and repairs based on device condition, not scripts or sales quotas. Some repairs are completed quickly; others require careful evaluation, especially when dealing with modern laptops designed with thinner plastics and heavier components. Like many local service businesses, our reviews reflect a wide range of experiences. We encourage customers to read all available feedback, ask questions, and judge us by the quality of our work and transparency—not just an algorithm’s recommendation filter. If you’re looking for straightforward answers, practical repairs, and a shop that explains what’s actually happening with your device, The Computer Cellar is here to help.
