What We Fix

Computer Repair & IT Services for Tampa Bay

From a single home laptop to a multi-site office network, Bay Geeks technicians diagnose the problem, explain it in plain English, and fix it: on-site, remotely, or via pickup & return. Start with who you are.

How It Works

Three Steps From Broken to Fixed

Call or open a ticket

Call 727-579-4335 and a real person picks up whenever we can get to the phone. If we're mid-repair and can't answer within a few rings, Frank, our AI assistant, steps in instead of voicemail, any hour, and can book you in or bring in a technician. Or open a support ticket online, or schedule a visit, and tell us what's wrong in your own words.

We diagnose your way

On-site at your home or office, remotely over a secure connection, or via pickup & return: whichever fits the problem and your schedule.

Tested, fixed & explained

We isolate the root cause, repair it, test it, and hand it back working, with a plain-English explanation of what happened.

Where We Work

Proudly Serving the Tampa Bay Area

On-site service covers Pinellas and Hillsborough counties. Outside that radius (or outside Florida entirely), our remote support reaches anywhere with an internet connection.

Why Trust Us

20 Years of Showing Up

Anyone can put "computer repair" on a sign. Here's what's actually true about the people you'd be handing your machine, your network or your business data to.

  • Same ownership, same phone number, since 2004 — 20+ years without disappearing, rebranding or getting flipped to a franchise
  • Founded by a U.S. Navy-trained Electronic Technician; that same methodical, no-shortcuts discipline still runs every repair and deployment
  • Certified Malware Removal Experts handle every virus and spyware call, usually without wiping your operating system
  • Every technician passes a background check before they ever set foot in your home or office
  • Fully insured: $1M/$2M commercial general liability, $1M cyber liability and $250K professional liability (E&O). A certificate of insurance is yours on request, not just a line on a website
  • 4.8★ across 12 Google reviews, from named customers you can go read for yourself, not quotes we picked
  • Flat, published rates before you book — $125/hr residential, $175/hr business — not a surprise invoice after the fact
  • A real local shop at a real street address in St. Petersburg, not a call center routing you to a stranger

What Tampa Bay Says About Bay Geeks

4.8 average across 41 reviews on Google, Yelp, Angi & Experience.com

“I’ve used Bay Geeks several times going back more than a decade for personal as well as work-related computer issues. Today, Alden installed my home office station for my job and, as usual, everything is running fine. He’s personable, patient, and answers all questions in a manner that’s easy to understand. I’d give more stars if Google allowed.”
Jack Dempsey GOOGLE REVIEW

Common Questions

IT Support FAQ

What areas does Bay Geeks serve for on-site computer repair?

We provide on-site IT support throughout the Tampa Bay area, including St. Petersburg and South St. Pete, Tampa, Clearwater, Largo, Dunedin, Pinellas Park, Seminole, Gulfport, Safety Harbor, Palm Harbor, Oldsmar and Brandon. Remote support is available anywhere with an internet connection.

Is Bay Geeks a local IT company in St. Petersburg?

Yes. Bay Geeks is a local IT company in St. Petersburg, FL, in business since 2004, with its office at 1655 20th Ave S., St. Petersburg, FL 33712 (map and directions). Call 727-579-4335. On-site visits across Pinellas and Hillsborough are usually available the same day, and remote support and pickup & return are available too.

Does Bay Geeks provide IT support for small businesses in Tampa, Clearwater and St. Petersburg?

Yes. Managed IT plans start at $75 per computer a month, with a 2-hour response target during business hours, remote first so work starts before anyone drives. Without a plan, business support is $175 an hour. See IT support in St. Petersburg, remote IT support for Tampa businesses and Clearwater, plus IT for law firms and medical practices (we sign your BAA).

Who can recover data from a failed hard drive in Tampa Bay?

Bay Geeks has recovered data since 2004: hard drives, SSDs, servers and flash drives. Logical recoveries, like deleted files or a corrupted partition, can often be turned around in a few days. A clicking or grinding drive usually means a mechanical failure that needs clean-room work with our outside partners: power it off, stop using it, and call 727-579-4335 for a clear quote before any recovery work begins. More on data recovery.

Do you install business Wi-Fi and network cabling in Pinellas County?

Yes. We install most of it ourselves across Pinellas and Hillsborough: structured cabling, Wi-Fi access points, cameras, access control and AV. When a job calls for a Florida-licensed low-voltage contractor, we bring in A Plus Cable Runners Inc. and stay your point of contact. We walk the property for free, then send a written quote. See cabling and network installation.

Who offers managed data backup for small businesses in Tampa?

Bay Geeks does: managed server backup with local snapshots plus offsite cloud copies, monitored and restore-tested by us, with storage passed through at cost. Every business maintenance plan also includes unlimited cloud backup for its computers.

Can you help my business answer a cyber insurance questionnaire?

Yes. Our $495 Business Risk Assessment (up to 10 computers, written report in 5 business days) checks the controls these forms ask about, MFA, EDR, backups, email settings and remote access, and shows how you could honestly answer the application, question by question. Our cyber insurance questionnaire guide explains what each answer means.

Do you offer remote computer support outside of Florida?

Yes, as long as your device can connect to the internet, our technicians can remotely diagnose and repair most software issues, wherever you're located.

How much does IT support cost?

Residential service is $125/hour and commercial service is $175/hour, on-site or remote. On-site visits carry a one-hour minimum; remote support is billed in 15-minute increments. Pickup & return for specific hardware issues typically starts at a $200 flat rate for residential clients and $300 for commercial clients, and many jobs can be quoted flat-rate instead of hourly.

What if you can't fix it?

You don't pay for our time. That's our Fix-It Guarantee: if we can't fix the problem, there's no labor charge, and every repair carries a 30-day warranty on labor: if the same problem comes back within 30 days, we fix it free. Parts you approved are billed separately, and data recovery is quoted on its own terms.

How much does a computer maintenance plan cost?

Our Basic Maintenance Plan starts at $55 per month per computer with a one-year commitment, and includes Bay Geeks EDR (our next-gen antivirus protection), patching and proactive hardware monitoring. See current plan pricing and subscribe online.

Can you remove a virus without reinstalling my operating system?

In most cases, yes. Our Certified Malware Removal Experts can clean an infected computer without a full OS reinstall, preserving your files and settings.

How long has Bay Geeks been in business?

Bay Geeks has provided computer repair and IT support to the Tampa Bay area since 2004.
