What does it cost, roughly?

For water damage and a laptop that no longer starts, I can’t give a price range upfront: what’s broken only becomes clear once it’s opened up. The amount shown is what the diagnosis and cleaning costs; you’ll hear first what’s needed after that.
Turns out the repair is more expensive or no longer worth it? Then I’ll call you with the new price. If the part hasn’t been ordered yet, you get the deposit back and only pay the €35 trip fee — nothing if you brought it in yourself. If it has already been ordered, the deposit for that stays in place.
Drop off or have it picked up
Either way works — you choose what suits you best.
Drop off yourself — free
By appointment at my place in Amstelveen. You’ll get the address upon confirmation.
Have it picked up — €35
One fee for the whole trip: I pick it up and bring it back.

Brand, model and the issue. Don’t know the model? No problem, we’ll figure it out together.
- Step 2
Get a price estimate
I call you back with a rough cost and turnaround time. Nothing happens until you say yes.

What clients say
4.8 from 51 Google reviews about Nick (Aldewereld Consultancy)
“Nick helped me really well with my laptop. A positive man, a pleasant conversation and clear explanation.”
“A reliable address in Amstelveen. My computer — with Flight Simulator among other things — was completely messed up and had become unusable. Mr Aldewereld was the rescuer in need and, with his enormous knowledge, got everything working again. The terms agreed in advance, such as the rate, are very reasonable. He's also a calm and friendly person. For computer problems I can certainly recommend him.”
“Someone could come quickly. Nicely on time, finished within the agreed time. Problem solved. Thank you Nick, we are satisfied.”
“Nick helped our office very quickly with installing a ring alarm on our business phones, for our safety. He expertly answered all my questions. Whenever I need IT help again, I ask Nick.”
“After a mistake with my Microsoft password I was completely locked out. Nick came by the same afternoon and solved it well, fast and perfectly. A real recommendation for problems you cannot solve yourself. Top!”
“Nick helped me enormously with an Excel assignment I understood nothing about. He explained it calmly and patiently, so I understood it quickly. Without Nick I would never have managed.”
“Nick explains things well, always offers help, and gives informative lessons you really learn from.”

What does a repair cost?
That depends on your brand and model. You’ll get a price estimate before I take your laptop, and you only decide after that — so there’s never a surprise.
How long does it take?
Usually 2 to 3 working days; I aim for 5 working days at the most. If a part takes longer to arrive than planned, I’ll let you know in good time.
Do I need to pay upfront?
Once you agree to go ahead, I ask for a deposit to cover the part. We just discuss that by phone, so you know exactly where you stand.
What if the repair turns out not to be worth it?
Then I call you with the new price and you decide. Cancel before I’ve ordered the part and you get the deposit back, paying only the €35 trip fee — nothing at all if you dropped it off yourself. I’ll flag that moment in advance, so you know in time.
What warranty do I get?
Three months on my work, plus the manufacturer’s warranty on the part — on top of your statutory rights, which simply keep applying. That warranty doesn’t cover damage that occurs after handover or a repair someone else carries out afterwards, and it doesn’t cover water damage either: corrosion can still cause problems months later, and I’d rather tell you that upfront than after the fact.
Are my files safe?
I handle your data carefully: at intake I note the condition of the device and the reported issue, and your data stays yours. With a hardware repair, data loss can never be ruled out completely, so I recommend a backup. Don’t have one yet? I’ll sort that before anything else happens.
Do you work outside Amstelveen?
Yes: Amstelveen, Uithoorn, Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, Aalsmeer, Amsterdam-Buitenveldert. Not sure if you’re just outside the area? Give me a call and I’ll tell you straight away.
Do you repair phones too?
No. I only do laptops and MacBooks. That’s what I’m good at, and there’s plenty of choice for phones in Amstelveen.
