We brought MSI and LG Gram laptops in for repair since our last experience was fast and easy…read more This experience was NOT fast and NOT easy. Problem 1: Open-ended commitment on diagnosis and repair time (Fan Replacement on the MSI estimated to take up to 2 weeks). Juan finally told us that they offer 1-day service as an option. Problem 2: Poor detail management. We had to remind Juan to return the charger for the LG. Problem 3: Shop was supposed to open at 10AM and we were told at 10:05 that he was 10-15minutes away. Problem 4: Juan was marginally polite but clearly was not customer friendly. Our Laptops' Status (owner remedies): 1. MSI FAN NOISE: MSI is still functional and sit's on a Large FAN Cooling platform and occasionally makes a bearing squeek. A check for Fan availability shows 5-14day availability (ships from China). Juan, a good customer service approach would have been to just be up front with the parts availability! 2. LG Gram BlueScreen: Using the Windows11 Restore routine after backing up personal files fixed the problem. Juan wanted several hundred dollars to do this including CPU cooling maintenance. Aren't there diagnostics routines that could be used first to confirm that overheating is actually an issue?

I work in software/databases, so I am pretty familiar with computers. However, I am not very…read moreknowledgeable or comfortable tearing my computer open to go through the hardware and try and swap pieces out. That being said, I had a serious framerate issue with my gaming desktop, and was doing troubleshooting on it for two weeks. I consulted Reddit, I wiped everything besides the BIOS, ran plenty of diagnostics, gave it a good dusting, but nothing fixed the issue. I finally decided to take it in and have someone look at the hardware, realizing most likely I had a busted chord or fan somewhere that would need to be replaced. I gave Scott a rundown, and he told me he would call me when he figured it out. He called me ten minutes later, so quickly I did not see the call until they had already closed. I then worked the rest of the week with Alicia who did all the replacements for my cooling system, graphics card and power core. Just got it home and have my computer running better than when I first bought it due to the new upgrades. I cannot recommend them enough, they are very knowledgeable and Alicia is a saint. They will figure out what is going on, and you hopefully won't need to wait three weeks for an appointment like other stores I had consulted previously

They were the absolute best!!!…read more I came in with a very unusual problem, I needed a tiny screw to hold my 2nd SSD in place on my motherboard.

Excellent service by these ladies here

Fixed the charging port on my iPad Pro 6th gen…read more The 6th gen iPad Pro has a flimsy but expensive screen that needs to be removed to replace the port. So many repair shops either didn't want to bother or quoted a ridiculous, "eff-off" price just to send a message that they didn't want to work on them. He did not. Very knowledgeable and friendly "nerd" owner with a great, customer-oriented attitude. And he underpriced the competition by almost half! (My suspicion is that the others break a lot of screens doing this repair, so they build in the cost of making a mistake into their price; whereas he is careful enough and uses methods to not break the screen so as to not need to build the cost of his mistakes into the price.) FWIW, I have high standards, sometimes think I know too much, and can ask too many questions. Mike indulged me on all questions regarding a simple iPad repair and then some. (Other repair shops didn't want to talk about their methods or ideas). Cleaned my iPhone port for free, too! Very good communication of the risks and options for the iPad repair. I recommend them very highly to my friends, and now to you.

The guys at Free CheckFix took my problem in stride and found a way to get my printer to communicate with my computer. When returning home with my working system I was trying to shut the truck door while holding the brother laser and promptly dropped the printer on the driveway and trashed it. Mark and David found a new Brother Laser and a new CPU that could run windows 11 and together they were cheaper than what I paid for the old laser printer. The prices were low, service high and attitude was positive ............... I'm very lucky I discovered them

Twice they have recovered most of my data, and only once was the drive too far beyond repair (tbh, I knew that as soon as it happened). Michael has been in the compute business for decades, even since before I built my first PC in the early 1990's. Excellent work and the only guys I trust.

AustinPCTech rendered service for complications from a coffee spill atop my laptop keyboard. I had…read morelow hopes given the volume of the spill, but went forward anyway because I like the computer (fast, large screen, lots of RAM). I've noted the AustinPCTech office in its current location for years, but had never had the occasion to use their services. I went there blindly, as I knew of their longevity from personal observation, and doubted any business would survive in NW Hills without being reputable. I was greeted by Robert and explained my quandary. He advised a reasonable course of action and took the hardware into their work stream. Luck reigned when findings were rendered the next day: the keyboard was toasted but the motherboard, etc were unscathed. A replacement keypad was ordered; Robert worked with me to schedule shipping in accordance with my priority so we could manage cost as much as possible. The part arriveda few days later: I was advised of it's arrival and told to expect a call on completion the next day. Robert called first thing on the day promised -- he must've cranked the work overnight. Back in business, albeit, now using a USB-connected external keyboard to allay risk of another catastrophe while I quaff another cup of joe.
