Laptop MOT & PC Tune-Up
Before you spend hundreds on a brand-new machine, let us eliminate the physical and structural bugs slowing your system down. Based at our Wickford bench, our comprehensive 50-point system optimization clears performance-throttling background clutter and heavy internal dust blockages to restore your computer's native processing speeds.
Comprehensive 50-Point Optimization
Thermal & Dust Overhaul
Deep interior clean of clogged radiator fins and fan blades to eliminate loud noise, followed by a precision swap of dried internal factory thermal paste with high-yield cooling compounds to prevent hardware degradation.
Software Speed Tuning
Deep structural profiling of startup sequences to disable parasitic background tasks, combined with the surgical deletion of massive hidden caches, temporary system logs, and unused bloatware configurations.
Security Hardening Block
Rigorous, deep-level check to find and eliminate hidden malware, rootkits, or adware trackers, alongside operating system patches and privacy adjustments to secure your credentials.
Drive & Battery Audit
Comprehensive health assessment tracking storage health, bad sectors, solid-state drive longevity metrics, and battery capacity decay curves to ensure long-term physical part reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions — System MOT
Will a tune-up make my old computer run like new again?
In many cases, yes. Removing bloatware configurations, cleaning clogged fans, and optimizing system registries regularly drops idle processing strain, restoring smooth operation speeds. If an SSD upgrade is required for a massive hardware-level speed boost, we will advise you before starting any extra tracks.
How long does a PC health check and tune-up take?
Our standard turnaround time is 1 to 3 working days. We collect the system, perform the 50-point diagnostic and chemical thermal re-paste safely inside our workshop, and return it right back to your doorstep.
Do I need to back up my files before a tune-up?
While we always advise regular backups, we follow strict data preservation protocols. Your internal configurations, local user profiles, shortcuts, and personal documents are kept secure and aren't wiped or altered during a standard optimization pass.
Is it worth tuning up a computer over 5 years old?
Absolutely. Most older laptops simply run slow because they are clogged with background software noise and thick physical dust blockages. A professional workshop MOT can add years of life to the system, saving you the cost of a full replacement machine.
