IT Technician Mijas Costa: your machine, fixed at home

Mijas Costa is the coastal strip of Mijas: the shops of Las Lagunas, the gated communities of Riviera del Sol and Calahonda and the seafront village of La Cala. A PC that dies mid-morning cares little for postcards. We are Benalmática Informática, IT technicians based in Torremolinos who work at home across the area.

At-home service works the same in a townhouse in La Cala as in an apartment in Calahonda: you pick a time, we arrive with the tools and most faults are fixed on the spot. In gated communities we tell the security booth or let ourselves in with the owner's keybox, so nobody takes a day off to let us in.

We work with private customers, freelancers and companies: computer and laptop repair, custom builds, formatting, cleaning and optimisation, websites, custom applications and servers. We are available Monday to Friday from 9:30 to 20:30 and we will book your visit at the time that suits you best.

Areas we cover in Mijas Costa

Las Lagunas

Las Lagunas is the commercial heart of the Mijas coastline, with Avenida de Mijas lined with shops, offices and restaurants. Many businesses call us to repair equipment that cannot afford to stop: the bar's till, the office computer, the freelancer's laptop. We work on site without you having to close, or we collect the equipment if the fault needs the workshop. And for businesses that want to sell online, we also build their websites here.

Riviera del Sol

Between Mijas Costa and Fuengirola, Riviera del Sol is one of the area's largest gated communities, its houses and flats home to residents from all over Europe. Working there is routine for us: we give our name at the security booth or enter with the owner's keybox, and we can repair your laptop or tune up the home PC without you waiting at the gate. Many customers leave equipment at reception when they cannot be there.

Calahonda

Calahonda, on the south-western tip of Mijas Costa, mixes poolside communities, holiday villas and long-stay residents. Computers here are usually on the move: the digital nomad's work laptop, the family PC that has grown slow, the hard drive holding the photos of many summers. We pass through regularly and know the rules of each community, including accesses and keyboxes, so your visit is quick and without surprises.

La Cala de Mijas

La Cala de Mijas is Mijas's seaside village: a promenade, low-rise houses and a handful of seasonal businesses. Here the at-home technician mostly works on the house: the slow family PC, the printer that will not connect, the laptop of someone working from the terrace. We also maintain the equipment of the restaurants and shops on the promenade and of communities that need a check-up before high season.

Most requested services in Mijas Costa

Computer Repair

It is the service we are asked for most in Mijas Costa: a laptop that shuts itself off, an office PC in Las Lagunas that will not start, a screen broken in a move. We repair most faults at your home with spares at hand, and when a repair needs the workshop we collect the equipment and bring it back working.

Websites

Along Avenida de Mijas in Las Lagunas, hundreds of businesses compete for customers and many still have no website to represent them. We build custom websites for shops and freelancers across Mijas Costa: fast, in Spanish and English so they reach foreign residents too, and set up so customers find you when searching in the area.

Computer Assembly

We build custom PCs for Mijas Costa homes and offices: machines for remote work, photo editing or the company desk. We choose every component based on how you will actually use it and assemble and set it up in your own home or premises, with the system installed and your data moved over from the old computer.

Optimization and Cleaning

Coastal humidity, heavy summer use and years without a proper clean take their toll on computers. In the communities of Calahonda and the houses of La Cala we do a complete tune-up: internal cleaning, renewed thermal paste, freed-up disk space, unneeded programs removed and settings adjusted so the machine runs like new again.

Linux Installation

Across Las Lagunas, Calahonda and La Cala, many European residents work and study on laptops that Windows no longer copes with. We install Linux — Zorin, Debian or Ubuntu — move their programs and files across and teach them to use it in their own language. Hardly anyone offers this locally.

Frequently asked questions in Mijas Costa
