    Computer World scam, and liar
    Syed A.

    Do not bring your computer or any GameStop to this location. He's a big scammer a big liar. It's been two months that I give him my game and he's been playing around with me two months. He's a big scam liar. Do not go here. I'm warning you guys dnt go here. His customer service is bad and believe me he's a big liar.

    we paid $240 and are still waiting after two weeks, no more responses

    DO NOT deal with this merchant. I wish yelp update their ranking, don't be deceived by the overall rating 4+, 9 out of the most recent reviews since 2025 are 1 star!!! What happens to me is still unresolved, reading past reviews, my only resort is perhaps through police 1. I sent my chromebook for screen repair 2 weeks ago, the ower responded with a promise to repair in one hour with $160 estimate 2. Upon receiving the chromebook, he changed to color is different so new estimate is $240 and need to wait for the part, new estimate 1 week. Ok, I thought fine, that happens 3. From then on, things got out of control, no ready after 1 week. Ok, I will give another few days. 4. Now he is not responding to anything, no reply to yelp message, no response in phone calls (voice mail full) I will update my result, and I wish other people can re-sort yelp reviews in chronological order

    I had a very disappointing and frustrating experience with this computer shop and its manager. We initially brought in my husband's PC because the monitor would go black on startup. The manager diagnosed it as a broken motherboard and charged us $390 to fix it, claiming it came with a one-year warranty. Unfortunately, the issue was never resolved. When we returned the PC, he kept giving us the runaround, suggesting additional upgrades like a new graphics card and increasing the RAM from 16GB to 32GB. We paid another $670 for those upgrades, along with reinstalling Windows 11--only for the same problem to continue happening. On top of that, the service was extremely unprofessional. Every time we were told the device would be ready, it never was. We would show up and be told to wait an hour, which would turn into several hours, or be told to come back the next day--only for it still not to be ready. This happened repeatedly. When I expressed frustration after waiting days, he dismissed my concerns and said he had customers waiting for months, which is completely unacceptable. The shop environment itself is chaotic. He frequently speaks inappropriately about unrelated topics instead of focusing on the work, and even makes offensive comments about different groups of people. He also asks customers to do favors for him, like testing TVs or computers, which is not professional at all. In another incident, I brought in a working PS5 to sell. Without my permission or payment, he took it apart for parts. It took over a week--and my brother stepping in--for me to finally get paid. The same thing happened when I returned a monitor I had purchased from him; he said returns were allowed, but it still took a week to get my money back. He often takes devices apart, gives a quote, fails to fix them, and then moves on to the next customer, repeating the same cycle. My husband's PC was left in pieces, and parts like screws were lost--he even had to take screws from other machines to try to reassemble it. When my husband finally asked him to just put it back together so we could take it elsewhere, he said it wasn't his problem if he didn't know how'd to put it back together. To make matters worse, despite multiple requests, he has never provided receipts for the money we paid. He constantly says he'll send them "tomorrow" or have them ready next time, but never follows through. Overall, this has been a costly and stressful experience. We lost a significant amount of money and time dealing with someone who is unreliable, unprofessional, and dishonest. I strongly recommend avoiding this business.

    Very bad follow up and their mailbox is full
    Daniel C.

    They finally called me back after and Venmo'd me the funds for the computer. funds They took my computer and told me they'd give me a quote. They never followed up. I called them again and they said they'd call me back and did not call me back. Will gladly update the review once I am given funds for the computer or the computer is returned.

The entire team is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and dependable. They have handled several repairs for us over the years, and the quality of their work has always been outstanding. I especially appreciate that they are straightforward about what needs to be repaired and communicate clearly throughout the process. One of the biggest reasons I continue coming back is their reliability. When they give me an estimated completion time, the device is always ready when promised, and the repairs are done properly. It is difficult to find a business that provides this level of consistent service, and they have definitely earned my trust over the years. I highly recommend iPhone Hut to anyone looking for reliable and professional iPhone or iPad repairs in Fremont. Excellent service every time. Thank you Raj & Sok & all staff!

When my daughter picked her phone up, she noticed the quality of the screen was very poor. The front facing camera was visually grainy which affected FaceTime, videos, and camera quality. My daughter ended up going back to have it looked at and Raj and Adeel let her know that it was her screen protector. They removed the screen protector which doesn't make sense at all, but my daughter left thinking that everything was resolved. Wrong, the quality of the front camera was still an issue with no change or improvement. She also purchased the screen protector from the store and never received a refund. She came back a third time and they ended up replacing the screen. Usually, second time's the charm right? Not this time. The quality was exactly the same. My daughter tried messaging through Yelp to find a resolution, but her messages were completely ignored. I'm disappointed in the customer service this store provided although having a good rating. My daughter had to find a more reliable and dependable store to have her screen replaced. So far, it's as new as the day we bought it. Not to mention that the new store we went to was very friendly, fast, and provided a warranty. Having to pay for another store's failure is unpleasant.

    Absolutely, my lord. The first one was a little too polished and review-ish. I'd make it sound more…read morelike you actually sat down after leaving the store and wrote it because Antonio genuinely impressed you: I just wanted to give a big thank you to Antonio at Central Computers. I came in looking for some help upgrading my current rig, and he was incredibly courteous, polite, and patient with me while I asked what probably felt like a million questions. I'm pretty computer illiterate when it comes to a lot of this stuff, and he took his time explaining everything without ever making me feel rushed or like I was bothering him. This is actually my third time coming back to this Central Computers, and experiences like this are exactly why. They've helped me build my NAS, they've helped me repair my rig, and now they're helping me upgrade it. Every time I've come in, the staff has been kind, helpful, and willing to take the time to actually work with me. It's just nice having a computer store where I know I can walk in, ask questions, and get genuine help from people who know what they're doing And not feel like I'm some kind of bother or they don't know what they're talking about. Thank you again, Antonio. I really appreciate your patience and all the help today. God bless.

    1 Star I walked into…read moreCentral Computers with $3,000 in cash ready to buy a gaming PC 9/4/26@11:23am. I was literally asked when I walked in if I wanted to walk out with a gaming PC that day. You would think that would be the easiest sale in the world. Unfortunately, the customer service was terrible. I spent time looking at two computers and reading the brochures, which I could have done myself online. The employee helping me didn't seem knowledgeable enough to answer basic questions or actually guide me toward the right system. Meanwhile, another employee who clearly seemed more knowledgeable was standing there discussing computer specs with the employee instead of talking directly to the customer standing there with $3,000 ready to spend. At that point, I just walked out. I hope when people talk about AI eventually taking over jobs, they're talking about experiences like this. Not because I want people to lose their jobs, but because a customer should not have to teach themselves everything and then walk into a computer store just to have someone ring up the box they already picked out. If you've already done all your homework, know exactly what you want, and just need someone to hand you a receipt, maybe this place works for you. But if you're looking for someone who can actually listen to what you need, explain the differences between systems, answer questions, and help you make a $3,000 purchase, I'd look elsewhere. Terrible experience. I walked in ready to buy and walked out with my money. That's a pretty significant failure in customer service.
