    Thinking I needed a new computer I went to see Gabe for the first time. He checked things out and…read moredetermined a few minor problems causing my trouble and saved me from buying new!! Thanks Gabe!

He doesn't respond to emails or text messages and doesn't keep regular hours, despite the 10am-6pm that he advertises. I tried months ago to get my MacBook repaired with him. I had an appointment nearby that ended around 10am when his shop supposedly opens (as per advertised hours). When I called to tell him I was on my way, he said he wasn't at the shop and told me he works by appointment only and that he works around whatever his client's hours are... After all that, he agreed to meet me so I could drop the computer off for a diagnostic. After looking at it, he told me I needed to purchase speakers, so I asked if I could have the speakers shipped directly to him. He said yes but that I couldn't have them sent to his shop due to construction. So I asked for an address where I could send them and he never responded. Due to his lack of response, I missed my window to order in time to receive them before Labor Day. I didn't want to be without my computer too long, so I asked if I could come the next day around 9am because I had another appointment in the area. He gave me massive attitude claiming all of a sudden that his hours are 10am-6pm despite having clearly told me before that he works around his clients' hours by appointment. At this point, I was thoroughly confused. I went to pick up my laptop and he met me in the parking lot, shoving it into my hands and practically sprinting back to his car. I asked how I should pay the diagnostic fee ($39) and he said I'd just pay it when I got the repair done. Okay whatever. I didn't have time to deal with the repair until 3 months later, especially since I'm almost never on that side of town. I tried emailing him to make arrangements for the repair again and lo and behold - no response. I'm not dealing with this guy anymore. I'm on vacation this week, so this is likely the only chance I'll have to get this repair taken care of for a good long while. So I just made an appointment with the Genius Bar. Really wish we had better options for Mac repairs around here but what can ya do... At least the Apple store knows how to communicate & makes it easy to make an appointment. Geez.

    I recently had a catastrophic failure of a hard drive and needed to retrieve the data. Since I…read moreneglected to make a proper back-up of my data, this would prove to be a costly endeavor. I was referred to Data Recovery Group by a computer professional who said their success rate was very high. I took the failed drive and a replacement drive to DRG. They were able to recover all software from the failed drive and place it on the replacement drive in a couple day turn-around. Their prices aren't for the feint-at-heart, and they might be out of the reach of a typical home computer user. For me, it was a business decision and I was able to retrieve valuable files, so the price issue was a moot point. A great business to have right in the Metro Detroit area. I hope I never have to use their services again, but if I do, it will be with confidence that I avail myself of their services. Go to their web site to see a list of all the services they offer. They work on all operating systems, as well as various types of media storage. They can remove viruses from your drive, or system. Accidentally delete files or email - they can help you. Forensic data services are also available.

My backups were more casual, and not nearly as frequent as they should have been. In all of my years of building my own systems, I have never experienced a hard drive failure - until about 3 weeks ago...on a drive that held my most important data (tons of photos, my wife's business files and marketing collateral...and much more). Resigned to the fact that if I wanted my data (or a chance at it), I'd have to find a recovery company. I spent a few days doing detailed research and did not come up with any company I felt comfortable with (pricing, customer reviews...etc). I was referred to Data Recovery Group by a trusted friend, and after one call, I shipped my corrupted drive and a new donor drive - along with a little prayer for success. About 2.5 weeks later and I learned that these folks were able to save the majority of my data. They emailed me a text file of the directories and data to review, and to my surprise and delight, everything I was hoping for was there. Received my drives back today and quickly backed everything up to the cloud and 3 additional (local) places. Data recovery is not "cheap" by any means, but if you need your data back - I would recommend these fine folks without hesitation! I am very thankful for their services and results. Learn from my mistake - back up your data! At some point, your drive(s) will absolutely fail.

    My laptop crashed in a way that was unrecoverable, so I brought it here after seeing the great…read morereviews. Next time I need a repair, I'll have to try somewhere else because this place is CRAZY expensive. I paid $150 just for them to figure out what the solution was. That fee is not applied to what you pay for the actual repair should you decide to have them fix it like it would at a car repair place; it's just $150 to have them tell you what's wrong. They then quoted me $250 to reinstall windows and fix a broken hinge. I was iffy but said yes partially due to the sunken cost of the diagnosis and mostly because they promised me they would be able to upgrade my laptop to Windows 11, which the laptop had been telling me was not possible. So this seemed somewhat worth it to me to have them do. I went to pick up the fixed laptop, and immediately noticed that they had to drill totally new screw holes into it to install the new hinge. It looks pretty bad, but I'm really not picky about aesthetics so I let it go. But then they started it up to show me it was working, and I cannot even explain how INCREDIBLY slow it was as they tried to use it. Like, Windows 98 was faster than this thing was running, and I had previously never had any speed issues with it. I said something along the lines of how disappointed I was that I had now spent $400 and honestly couldn't even realistically use the laptop anymore. They offered to just install Windows 10 again instead, but like I said, the main reason I decided to pay all that money was because they assured me they could upgrade it to Windows 11. So they ended up refunding me for the repairs (I'm still out the diagnosis fee) and wiped the laptop and gave it back to me. After going home and doing some research on my own, I was able to reinstall Windows 10 on my own in about a half hour for $10. I cannot believe they were going to charge me almost $200 to do that!!! My laptop is now working exactly as it did before, and I learned my lesson.

Since then I've never taken my computer concerns anywhere but Jafferson Computer. They've dealt in similar fashion with hardware issues and with software issues. Their results are excellent and the price is perfect, because their approach is efficient, and intelligent, and prudent, and because their expertise and experience is deep. Recently they again excelled. They solved several similar but not identical operating-system problems in a pair of wonderful older Asus Windows 10 laptops: the fraternal twins Asus1 and Asus2. They were bought a month apart and are nominally the same exact model--but actually are not. Comparing the slight differences in the responses of the 'twins' helped Luke to analyze and diagnose. This sort of thing is why they're the best. Plus Mateen and Luke and anyone who has worked there are nice people.
