Custom PCs, Repair & IT Support
Built right, diagnosed right
Kernel & Core builds custom PCs to spec, repairs laptops and desktops most shops have written off, and burns in every build for 24 hours under load before it ships.
Every machine gets logged before it gets touched
Kernel & Core opened in 2015 on a simple idea: a repair shop should run like a lab. Every drop-off gets a ticket, a benchmark, and a technician who explains what the numbers actually mean, not just a price.
Custom builds go together on an open bench, cable-managed properly, and run a full 24-hour burn-in under load before anything ships out the door.
- Certified repair technicians on every shift
- In-house PC building & 24-hour burn-in testing
- Genuine & compatible parts in stock
- Free diagnostics on every drop-off
What we do
From a full custom build to a laptop that won't boot, every job starts with a real diagnostic, not a guess.
Custom PC Builds
Built to spec and benchmarked, with a full parts list and a 24-hour burn-in before pickup.
Laptop & Desktop Repair
Screen, keyboard, fan, and motherboard-level repairs, diagnosed for free first.
Data Recovery
Recovery attempts on failing or dead drives, quoted honestly before any work begins.

A full system clean plus a plain-language walkthrough of what let it in.
Network & Wi-Fi Setup
Home and small-office networking, wired or wireless, configured and stress-tested.
IT Support Plans
Ongoing remote and on-site support for small businesses, billed simply by the month.
Burned in before it ships, full stop
A build that hasn't been stress-tested is a build that hasn't been finished.
A look at the bench
From the bench
"They benchmarked my old machine before touching it, so I actually knew the repair was worth doing."
"My custom build came with an actual burn-in report. Never seen a shop bother doing that before."
"Recovered four years of photos off a drive two other shops told me was completely dead."
