Our Story

East Texas Tech, Since 1989

We started as a computer shop in Tyler and never left. For more than three decades we've been the people East Texans call when their computer dies, when they need a new machine, or when they're ready to get their business online.

A Tyler Tech Shop That Stuck Around

The Clone Shop opened in 1989 — back when desktop computers were just finding their way into homes and small businesses. We built our reputation the old-fashioned way: fix it right, charge fairly, explain it plainly.

Over the years we grew alongside East Texas. Computer repair stayed at the core, but we added new and used computer sales, custom PC builds, and eventually a full web design and digital marketing division as our clients' needs evolved into the internet era.

Today we're a family-owned, family-operated shop: Charlie runs computer repair and sales, Amanda leads web design and digital marketing — two distinct divisions — computer services and web services — both under the same roof at our Tyler location. We still answer the phone ourselves. We still give free estimates. And we're still here.

We tell you what's wrong, what it costs, and what to do. No jargon. No runaround. That's been our policy since day one.

Two Divisions, One Shop

Computer services and web design built side by side — so your business has a place to go for both.

> compute.services

Our original division. We repair desktops and laptops for everyday people and businesses across East Texas — fast, affordable, and done in-house. We also sell new and used computers and build custom machines from the ground up.

  • Virus & malware removal
  • Hardware repair & upgrades
  • Data recovery
  • New & used PC sales
  • Custom PC builds
  • Windows troubleshooting

> web.design

We've been building professional websites for East Texas businesses for decades — from local service companies to real estate agents to nonprofits. We handle design, development, SEO, ADA compliance, and ongoing site maintenance.

  • WordPress design & development
  • Custom web applications
  • Search engine optimization
  • ADA / WCAG compliance
  • E-commerce (WooCommerce)
  • Ongoing maintenance & support

What We Believe In

These aren't mission statement words. They're just how we do business — and why people keep coming back.

Honest Estimates

We diagnose first, tell you the cost, and let you decide. If it's not worth fixing, we'll tell you that. Our free estimates are always no-obligation.

Plain English Only

We explain what's wrong in language that makes sense. No jargon, no technobabble designed to make you feel like you need us.

Turnaround That Respects Your Time

Most computer repairs are done same day or next day. Web projects move on a clear timeline. We know you have a business to run.

Local and Invested

We're not a franchise, a chain, or a big box store. We live and work in East Texas. When something goes wrong, you're calling a real person who knows your name.

Fair Pricing

We don't pad bills. We don't upsell parts you don't need. Computer repair is priced to the job. Web projects are quoted flat before we start.

All Work Done In-House

Your computer never gets shipped off to a third party. Your website doesn't get handed to someone overseas. We do the work ourselves — here in Tyler.

35+ Years in East Texas

From DOS machines to WordPress — we've grown with every era of computing.
