Fast, friendly onsite tech support across the Kāpiti Coast.
Locally owned and run, covering everything from northern Wellington City to Levin. We come to you, work out what is actually wrong, and explain it in language that makes sense. Computer repairs, IT support, Wi-Fi troubleshooting and everyday tech help for homes and small businesses.

Most repairs happen at your kitchen table, not in a workshop queue. We diagnose start-up failures, failing hard drives and computers that have become too slow to use, then fix them in front of you, or take the device away where hardware work needs it. Any part is quoted before we order it.
We also take a broader look at how you actually work, and make honest recommendations for the technology across your home or business.
Need urgent help without waiting for a visit? Our secure remote support connects to your device with your permission and resolves software, email and internet problems while you watch. It is often the fastest and cheapest option, with no travel fee.
It is not just for computers. Using screen sharing we can help with Apple and Android phones and tablets too, so a problem on your iPad does not have to wait for someone to drive out to you.
Most technology problems are cheaper to prevent than to fix. We review how your systems are set up, where the security gaps are, and what would actually happen if a drive failed tomorrow, then close those gaps before they cost you anything.
The same review usually finds easy speed wins. Waiting for things to load can become a thing of the past, with self-hosted server or cloud storage options for keeping your data available and safe. We currently offer technology audits and recommendations to small businesses across Kāpiti.
Kapiti Computers provides friendly, reliable IT support across the Kāpiti Coast, from simple tech help through to full system troubleshooting. Whether your computer is running slowly, your Wi-Fi keeps dropping out, or you need help setting up a new device, we come to you.
Most small businesses do not need a tech department, or even a full time person. What they need is someone trustworthy and nearby who already knows their systems, answers when they call, and can be there in person when something goes down. That is the gap we fill, without the overhead of employing anyone. See ongoing support.
Eliminate frustrating Wi-Fi dropouts, dead zones and weak signals. We diagnose connection issues, improve internet speeds, configure modems and routers, install Starlink, and optimise coverage throughout your home for smooth streaming and reliable access.
Wi-Fi & Starlink setupBring slow or unresponsive computers back to life. We replace faulty components, install SSDs and RAM, fix software errors, remove clutter and malware, and reinstall Windows or macOS when needed.
Computer repairsSetting up a new computer, laptop, tablet or phone? We transfer files, photos and emails, sync your accounts, install the apps you rely on, and make sure everything works the way you expect from day one.
New device setupKeep your devices secure with virus removal, malware scans and protection setup. We remove harmful software, repair the damage it caused, and install trusted security tools.
Online safety tipsLost access to important files, documents or family photos? We provide data recovery for corrupted, damaged or failing drives, and set up automatic cloud backups so it does not happen twice.
Regular system maintenance, updates, troubleshooting and tech advice to keep your devices running smoothly. No confusing jargon, just practical support you can rely on.
