From floppy disks to cloud computing, we've been Garland's trusted computer repair shop through it all. Meet the family behind GVAPC Electronics.
Three decades of serving the Garland community
GVAPC Electronics opened its doors in 1993 when personal computers were just becoming household essentials. What started as a small family business has grown into Garland's most trusted computer repair shop, but our values have remained the same: honest service, expert repairs, and treating every customer like family.
For over 30 years, we've watched technology evolve from Windows 95 to Windows 11, from bulky CRT monitors to sleek 4K displays, from dial-up modems to fiber internet. Through it all, we've stayed at the forefront of technology while maintaining the personal touch that only a family business can provide.
We're not a franchise or chain store. We're your neighbors in Garland. When you bring your device to GVAPC, you're not just another ticket number—you're part of our extended family. We've repaired computers for multiple generations of Garland families, fixed gaming consoles for kids who are now bringing in their own children's devices, and supported local businesses through countless technology upgrades.
Today, GVAPC Electronics remains family-owned and operated, continuing the tradition of quality service that our founder established over three decades ago. We've expanded our expertise to include not just computer repair, but also gaming console restoration (including vintage systems through our PSP Central division), refurbished computer sales, and comprehensive IT support.
Over 30 years of innovation and service
Started as a family computer repair business in Garland, Texas. Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS were the operating systems of the day. We repaired our first computers when floppy disks were still the primary storage medium.
Helped Garland residents and businesses get online for the first time. Set up countless dial-up internet connections and built custom PCs for the growing home computer market. Windows 95 and 98 were our daily bread and butter.
Added laptop repair as portable computers became mainstream. Started servicing Macs as Apple gained popularity. Helped businesses upgrade to Windows XP and navigate the broadband revolution. First generation of gaming console repairs (PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube).
Recognized the growing handheld gaming market and launched PSP Central, specializing in PlayStation Portable repair, modding, and sales. Built a reputation as the go-to shop for gaming console expertise in the DFW area.
Adapted to smartphones and tablets becoming ubiquitous. Expanded gaming console services to include PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Helped businesses transition to cloud computing and remote work solutions. Windows 10 became the new standard.
Still family-owned and operated after 30+ years. Now servicing the latest generation of gaming consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X), supporting Windows 11, offering refurbished computer sales, and maintaining our reputation as Garland's most trusted repair shop. Same family, same values, same commitment to excellence.

We don't have sales quotas or upselling requirements from corporate headquarters. We recommend only what you actually need, nothing more.

We've been part of the Garland community for over three decades. We support local schools, sponsor community events, and hire locally. Your business supports your neighbors.
Every repair reflects on our family's reputation. We take immense pride in doing quality work because it's our legacy we're building, not corporate profits.
We've repaired computers for multiple generations of Garland families. Many of our customers have been with us for decades. That's the kind of trust only a family business can earn.
What guides everything we do
We tell you the truth about your device. If it's not worth fixing, we'll tell you. If there's a cheaper option, we'll suggest it. Our integrity is more important than any single sale.
We never stop learning. Technology changes rapidly, and we stay current with training, certifications, and hands-on experience. We invest in our knowledge so we can solve your problems effectively.
Our transparent pricing structure ($50/$100/$150) reflects our commitment to fairness. You shouldn't have to play guessing games about what computer repair will cost.
