Sebastian does it again! He built me a home PC at a reasonable price that works great. He is my go to for PC/laptop issues.

Sebastian is incredible! He was attentive, responsive, and fair! Fixed my computer (keyboard replacement) for $300 when Apple quoted me $1500! read more

Sebastian is Superman! He's so knowledgeable, smart, quick, friendly and so reasonably priced - A true gem. He fixed my computer, always with a smile. He knows more than the people at Apple. Thank you Sebastian. You are the best! Maxine A read more

I went to Sebastian for help because my mid-2020 Macbook Pro laptop had started really having issues with battery and the "Battery Service" notification had started to come on. To get it repaired by Apple would be about $500, and I'm a student on a budget. Sebastian said he could order the battery ahead of time so he could repair it in 1 day, and he repaired it in a matter of hours. Not only that, but he let me know if I had any issues I could follow up with him. His pricing is reasonable, he is clear and responds super fast to any messages or questions. I highly recommend him! read more

I would recommend Sebastien to anyone that's looking to get their GPD device fixed. No one wanted to open my GPD Win 4 and replace the left joystick, when i say no one i mean no one. Called shops all over NYC. They would goggle it and be like no we don't deal with that. I called Sebastien told him what i wanted. He let me know he's Delt with GPD devices before and to bring it. I dropped it off and he had it fixed in a Hour. And the price is good. 1000 stars read more

Super knowledgeable, friendly, and fast. They took the time to explain exactly what work they did on my computer and diagnosed the problem expertly. Would definitely go back as the value was fantastic. read more

Great service, Sebastian knows what he is doing, loves it, and he is efficient and on point. Happy to recommend him and his team!

Sebastien took a Quick Look at my computer and determined there was no water damage. Honest and reliable.

I 100% recommend Sebastian for computer repair. I had assumed that I would need to leave my laptop at least overnight since he had only returned to work that morning, but he immediately got to work on it. It was a bit of a perplexing issue (my left speaker had cut out and would only work by pinching the left side of the chassis), and Sebastian talked me through a few theories and repair possibilities even before he opened the machine. Once he did, it confirmed one of his theories and he was able to make the repair quickly and cleanly. Sebastian's communication is A+, his rate was entirely reasonable, and I will absolutely return to his shop the next time I need a computer serviced. read more

Perfect and fast and fixed my problem Easy to work with and was very patient during a very stressful situation

My desktop PC wouldn't turn on. Sebastian explained that he'd run diagnostics and provide a quote. If I didn't wish to proceed with the repair, there would be no charge. I brought him my computer on Fri afternoon. That evening he called, explained the problem, and quoted what seemed to be a reasonable price. The computer was repaired and ready for pickup Monday afternoon. Sebastian offered a couple of suggestions about running the computer and took the time to patiently give informative answers to several unrelated questions about backup, upgrades, etc. Sebastian was courteous, clear, prompt, and efficient. I highly recommend his work. (Plus, it's fun to walk thru the guitar shop to get to his workshop.) read more

Super recommend!!!! Satisfaction guaranteed! I literally had a panic attack when I spilled an entire bottle of tea onto my Alienware while working with it... The laptop feels like my baby. When I called Sebastian he was super caring, thoroughly explained to me what to do to minimize damage. Once I rushed to his shop, he was super polite, patient, thorough, explained all possible outcomes and promised a one-day turnaround, which is awesome because I need my laptop to work. Not only has he magically fixed my screwed-up laptop at a very reasonable cost, he also gave me help/tips about extended warranty. He was super responsive and helpful throughout the process. Thank you for saving my baby Sebastian!!! read more

My HDD went suddenly dead I found Sebation's business via Yelp. Sebastion was able to help me resolve the issue and successfully recovered my data. I would recommend this business due to the owner's professionalism and honesty. read more

Open your wallet, pull out your cash - and just give this business your money. Wish I would have known about this place sooner. The owner really loves what he does and has truly exceptional communications skills; this can be seen when he is explaining the problems with devices and possible solutions as he tries to physically show a visual (using your product or a part lying around). The owner/operator has a plethora of computer hardware knowledge; he gave me a CPU recommendation before I had all the parts necessary for one of the jobs, which helped me avoid compatibility problems - something I'm glad I did because it seems the few Kyle's and Karen's on the Internet who left salty reviews did not what I did. My Overall Thoughts: The jobs / Reasonable prices: Two jobs, both reasonable prices The first, was he replaced/swapped out some cosmetic parts of an older laptop. These can be somewhat of a pain to do. While this might not have been the most fiscally wise things to do, as it is not worth much, the laptop is functioning perfectly and has a lot of sentimental value as it was a gift from my parents. I supplied the parts and the laptop looks new. I also had him change the CPU (the one he recommended, which turned out to work) as it was not soldered to the motherboard and he added thermal paste (the correct way haha; keep reading so you can see my mistake). While I'd like to think I'm somewhat tech savvy, he was able to provide me with some value information: the CPU would be throttled back (on this specific model?) due to the fact that I did not have a working battery attached to the laptop - very useful as I did not know this and since I would be using this for a project. He was also able to make other hardware recommendations and answer my questions, like RAM upgrades, etc., as I will be using this for a up-and-coming project. Second job, was finished in roughly 30 minutes. He was able to clean up the mess I made with the thermal paste, turned on the laptop (it wasn't turning on and he explained why), added a heavy duty thermal pad to my CPU and answered all of my annoying questions regarding future-proofing the device. He also gave me a hardware recommendation, which I appreciated. Almost forgot, I had a screw that was stuck and I was not able to take of the back case and he managed to remove it. Side note: he was extremely accommodating - I mean extremely! This second laptop fix he did for me was last night and I came in late but he was able to work on it on the spot as he was waiting for another project to finish loading. He did not have to do so -- please do not expect him to do so for you! This was probably a fluke and I was lucky. That said, ALWAYS call in advance, give yourself enough time to get there. Realistic turnaround: First job was finished in (I believe) 1.5 - 2 days. Business operations: This business really knows how to operate! I'm an extremely happy customer and will recommend you to anyone I know who needs this type of service. Keep doing what you're doing! Pro Tip: Do not come to the store late. Please give yourself ample time to arrive early. I highly recommend calling in advance. Also -- check out his YouTube channel and subscribe. He's got some interesting stuff on there! read more

Very good communication and very polite. Did not use services only because I didn't want to pay the Geoge Washington Bridge Tow fee. Parking another issue with the city of New York read more

I think ComptechNYC is the best Computer repair service in Manhattan, at least in Midtown West. I received a very prompt reply to a quote request, THE best price, and awesome service. I strongly recommend Sebastian to anybody. He is a decent man who would not reap you off. Thank you again. read more

Had my laptop thermal paste redone at an UWS tech shop but they royalled screwed up the repairand the laptop was overheating even worse after the "fix". I decided to search through yelp for a second place to actually fix my laptop, especially since afterwards even though I repasted it after the first place some of the parts broke off when i was opening up the machine out of desperation. Sebastion was cordial, concise and did not mind explaining every intricate detail of the fix and the turnaround was same day. I would reccomend this place to my friends and family and possibly the best repairshop in NYC! read more

Great guy, gave me info that's saved me $$$ on data recovery Reasonable prices Fast Turn around And he's not looking to sell you anything like so many of these repair places and I'll share with you what he shared with me even if you back up your stuff on the cloud back up your stuff on her external hard drive because poo poo occurs. read more

Sebastian is a pro! He knows his craft. I explained my situation and he shared different options (pros and cons). He also encouraged me to get my own parts if I wanted to. He went above and beyond in providing a great service: fast response via Yelp with exactly what I asked (I needed a $ estimate), fast repair (I handed the computer on a Friday, he had it ready for me on that Sunday!), last but not least, he was able to get me a better part for my computer. That was all about the computer, but there's nothing better than having a good human connection and Sebastian is a good listener and makes sure you understand what he is going to do. You can tell that he runs his business with integrity and honesty and wants the best for you. Oh, he also took the time to answer my questions and provided advice to make sure my computer never comes back to his shop. I highly recommend him. You won't regret the visit. read more

Made an appointment last week for Sebastian to install two harddrive in my desktop computer. He was very kind throughout the entire process and give me tips on which type of harddrives I should avoid buying in the future as my new harddrive was dead on arrival. Do not go to bestbuy or any other shops in the city as they overcharge a lot. Sebastian is the best tech in nyc at very good rates would def see him again in the future and highly recommend anyone to see him. read more

I brought a macbook air here and they replaced the battery with no issues at all. They also were kind enough not to make any rude comments regarding some of the innapropriate stickers I had on my laptop as well as the innaprporiate custom startup sound I mapped to the MacOS. Thank you!! read more

Many clients of CompTechNYC were originally clients of Mike's Tech Shop, a place that cannot fix older and more difficult to repair units. If your unit is out of warranty, I can't recommend a better place to bring it. If you're the owner of an older unit that developed a problem, Sebastian at CompTechNYC is the FIRST and ONLY place you'd want to bring it. Here's why: CompTechNYC identified the problem and fixed my defective iMac IN JUST ONE DAY using a single drop of solder on a defective graphics card. CompTechNYC is not limited to "only factory-supplied parts" from Apple but repairs circuit boards and if necessary replaces them. What this means to you is that if the problem with your unit requires EITHER the repair of a part or the part's replacement, Sebastian will fix it. And if for some reason it's not reparable, you're not charged. This place deserves their full 5-Star rating. After waiting a month for Mike's Tech Shop to fix my iMac, I took it to CompTechNYC only 10 blocks north and WITHIN ONE DAY the problem with my graphics card was identified, fixed, and returned to me the next day for $250. Bottom Line: If you have an older unit out of warranty, CompTechNYC is THE place for you! Tell Sebastian you read Tony's review on Yelp and I'm sure he'll provide you with extra special service - he's quite a nice guy and he certainly knows what he's doing. Tony read more

Sebastian is the real deal. I was scammed with a USB drive that claimed to be 1 TB and was actually only 64 GB. I basically had a heart attack when it didn't work because all of my work stuff is on it. I took it to Sebastian and he was able to recover everything, and even helped me buy a new USB to replace the old one. And, he is totally fair with pricing. 100% recommend and will go to him again if I ever have any tech issues!! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. Incredible. Sebastian is Knowledgeable, and patient. While visiting NY, I left my laptop with him after it mysteriously shut down. He recommended a new and faster hard drive and my laptop is working faster and better than it was before the crash. I had a self proclaimed computer expert look at it and he's tried several things, and nothing worked. Sebastian knew exactly what the problem was and fixed it quickly. I picked it up the next day. This place is awesome, and he didn't charge me an arm and a leg.!!, I wish I could give him more stars!!! read more

Unbelievably good, attentive, and thoughtful service. Apple had quoted me about $1400 just to have my 5 year old laptop looked at for liquid damage (this wouldn't necessarily include parts). Sebastian opened up my machine in front of me and diagnosed the issue. He gave me a great quote (something like 150 to replace the keyboard, which is very fair given the issue), and then called me a few days later to tell me about some other damage he found. It meant replacing the battery, as well. Quote went up to about 280, but that price difference is still a bit less than the price for a new battery from apple. My laptop was ready days before Sebastian had predicted, and the price was even less than he had quoted -- 260, with a new keyboard and battery. It's been a month now, and my laptop is as good as it has ever been. When I went to pick up my machine, Sebastian took the time to walk me through the repairs. He not only explained everything to me in great detail, he opened up my laptop to show me 1) where the damage was, 2) how he made the repairs, and 3) how to make those same repairs myself in the future if I have any similar issues. Sebastian is an angel for Mac users, and you will save *a lot* of money and time by going to him if you have an Apple computer that is out of warranty. Of course, go to Apple first for any issues. I've had great experiences with them, even out of warranty. Back in March, they replaced my logic board (after the three year mark) because it had issues that were recognized by the company as a defect. But if Apple can't do it at a reasonable price, please do consider Comptech. I will be recommending their services to everyone I know who has a Mac that is past warranty date, or anyone who has a Mac that has damage not covered by the warranty. read more

This place is Very helpful and he fixed my computer quickly, very friendly person ! The price is reasonable ! Recommend

If you need to get your computer fixed, look no further than Sebastian! He was super responsive to my inquiry and even picked up the phone on his day off to make arrangements so I could drop off my machine when the store was closed. He was able to diagnose the problem, provide a solution and when he had to do additional work he even gave me a deal because it wasn't what I was expecting. On top of all of this, he was very fast and so communicative at every turn. It's not often you find such great customer service and someone who genuinely wants to help. You have a customer for life. Thank you Sebastian! read more

Sebastian is the best. He is a professional and gives great advice. Helps you with all your auesti

Super responsive and helpful. He took my dead brick of a iMac, did the data recovery from it and replaced the hard drive so I had a brand new desktop. He kept me updated all the way through and worked quickly. While that wasn't a cheap process, he was very reasonable with his charges. Definitely recommend! read more

Let me start by saying that I created this Yelp account just to give Sebastian a great rating. My 2011 MacBook Pro failed a few weeks back. The Apple Store told me they couldn't repair the machine (too old) nor could they replace the part. I took it to another shop downtown and they offered to replace the logic board (which would give it another 1-2 years at most) for over $400. I went to Sebastian after reading his wonderful reviews to get my data off the machine, a low and behold, he told me that an alternative fix would be to replace the graphics chip for FAR less that the logic board repair. The replacement was done within a few hours and machine has a new lease on life. Hopefully I won't have to do a computer repair for some time, but if I ever need the best tech service I've ever received again, I will happily go back to Comptechnyc! Thank you Sebastian! read more

This is why you came to Yelp - to find somebody who is highly competent and honest. I spilled tea on the back of my Macbook Air. I chose comptechnyc because there was no consultation fee. Nor should there have been. Sebastian quickly took the Macbook apart and pointed out areas where there may have been damage. By the next day he had finished the repair and gave a verbal warranty on everything. Months later, it's still working great. read more

Attentive, knowledgeable, clean, punctual, eager to help and polite. I did repairs with Sebastian on irreparable Samsung tablet (the biggest one Samsung ever released) and the work he did prolonged the life of the gadget for another almost 2 years. Can't recommend enough. Very satisfied. read more

Although Sebastian was not ultimately able to recover many of the files I deleted from my old hard drive (because I stupidly hit the "restore to factory settings" button in a fit of madness), he tried very diligently, provided me daily updates and was very fair in his pricing. He was kind, patient, knowledgeable and scrupulously honest. He was a pleasure to work with. read more

Sebastian saved the day again for me. I had a 2-year-old computer that needed a new hard drive and more RAM. Sebastian took care of it right away. He is my go-to computer tech expert. Woo Hoo!!! read more

I have a 2011 iMac that my son was using for remote learning. Apparently, he had a million programs running at the same time, including Zoom and it suddenly died. We could get it to start, but never to the log in screen. After reading positive reviews here, I reached out to Sebastian and he got back right away. What I liked about my experience was he gave me the best case scenario to worst case scenario and all the possibilities in-betweens. I decided to go ahead and get it fixed as both options were reasonable, and to my pleasant surprise, once Sebastian opened up the unit, it confirmed his suspicion that it was the best case (and cheapest) scenario - it turned out the problem was a fried graphic card - the worst case was the hard drive also went bad but it turned out to be fine. I picked the computer up the very next day. I just want to thank him for both an honest assessment and lightning quick work. When I have computer issues in the future, he is the man. I would recommend him to anyone. He knows his stuff, is reasonably priced, honest, and a nice guy. read more

Sebastian was great - super responsive, professional and helpful. I reached out to a few businesses based off Yelp reviews to get a Lenovo laptop keyboard replaced. I had limited time and needed someone to repair or replace my keyboard within a week. Sebastian replied within minutes of me submitting my question and got straight to the point re: cost and time to fix, which I really appreciated. Other places said they would have to see the laptop to determine the price etc. but it was just a standard model that should have had a standard fix. As soon as the replacement keyboard arrived (which Sebastian ordered), he informed me, and I stopped by one afternoon to get it replaced (took less than 30mins with the wait, and actual keyboard replacement only took a few mins). I paid up front - for the keyboard and the manual labor via PayPal to avoid the credit card fee. Laptop was as good as new. Bottom line - I know where to go if I have any future laptop needs/fixes. Highly recommend! read more

This Brother was quick to respond to my inquiry. He stayed in contact with me through the entire (parts ordering, repair status, etc.) process. Highly recommend! read more

This business is absolutely amazing. I have taken three different computers to Sebastian and he has been able to fix everything quickly and flawlessly. First I had a 2012 MacBook Pro that apparently I put in a little bit of water at some point, so he replaced the hard drive and was able to back up and save a lot of my information from the corrupted hard drive that got water damage. He was able to replace the monitor and screen for a Lenovo laptop. He was also able to quickly change the hard hard drive and the ram for a 2009 iMac. He communicates extremely well he's very quick with his work and he's a funny and a nice guy, the only person I would recommend for computer repair in the city. He is a straight shooter. read more

Sebastian is the best. Built a custom cpu for me last year for cycling / gaming. I've since moved from NYC and had to call him on a couple occasions for support. He's kind, responsive, highly capable. Thanks for all your help! read more

Very professional! He explained everything and was honest as well as patient. Definitely will refer him to people as well as come back if needed again! read more
