Mount Vernon Computer Repair provides technology help and computer lessons for seniors in Alexandria and across Northern Virginia. We visit your home, fix what is not working, and teach you how to use your computer, iPhone, iPad, email and video calls in clear, unhurried language.
Many of our longtime clients are retirees who appreciate someone patient who explains things once more when needed. Adult children often arrange visits for a parent, and we are happy to keep the family informed. Every lesson is private and shaped around what you want to do, whether that is sharing photos, video calling grandchildren or spotting scams.

What customers say
Mount Vernon Computers is my go to computer repair shop every time I have a problem or need help with my computer. Daryl is so nice and professional that you’re not scared to ask a question. He has helped me get a computer with motherboard problems repaired and another computer with GPU problems fixed. I got a new computer and needed help so I called them and Daryl was kind enough to do a video call and walked me through my problem and eventually solved it! 10/10 Highly recommend!Read full review
