For many computer owners, the "Big Box Store" computer repair experience can be frustrating. Customers often complain about expensive service plans, long wait times, and a replace, don't repair mentality. If you’re looking for a genuine alternative in Minneapolis, look no further than Chipheads Computer Repair. We’re located in Richfield and serve the entire metro area. We’ve also been helping the community since the 90s! You can drop by our shop or reach out today to get started.

A Personalized Experience
The biggest complaint about national chains is the lack of continuity. At Chipheads, you aren't just handed off to whoever is on the clock. We pride ourselves on being a local, family-owned business where the technicians actually get to know you and your device.
While big-box stores often prioritize selling you a new machine, Chipheads focuses on fixing the one you have. Their "show me how" sessions even allow you to learn about your computer alongside a technician, so you feel empowered rather than confused.
Specialized Repairs the Big Box Stores Won't Touch
Did you know that many retail repair counters don't actually do hardware repair in-house? They often ship your device away to a massive central warehouse, leaving you without your computer for weeks.
Chipheads does it differently. We specialize in high-level hardware fixes that many other shops turn down.
Wide Range of Computer Repair Services
At Chipheads Computer Repair, we offer a wide range of repair services for any of your needs. Whether you need your laptop screen replaced, operating system upgraded, hardware installed or malware removed, we’d be happy to help. We also offer a range of services for small business owners throughout the Twin Cities area and can come directly to you.
Honest, Transparent Pricing
At Chipheads Computer Repair, we try to keep our pricing as transparent as possible and are always happy to provide free estimates prior to service.
Convenience Your Way: Onsite, Remote, or Drop-off
Geek Squad often requires you to work around their schedule. Chipheads offers four ways to get help:
Carry-In: Our Richfield shop (6333 Penn Ave S) is easily accessible with convenient parking.
Onsite Service: A technician will come directly to your home or office in Minneapolis, St. Paul, or the suburbs.
Remote Support: For software issues or virus removal, we can often jump onto your screen via the internet and fix it while you watch.
Mail-In: For those outside the immediate metro, you can securely mail your device for repair.
