The owner, Joe, called me with a genuine and respectful manner to discuss the situation. He also…read moreshared his intention behind founding the service, and offered a free repair for the broken bezel. I appreciated his sincerity and the way he takes responsibility for his work. During the conversation, he also provided helpful and professional advice regarding my other tech-related concerns. Overall, I felt that he genuinely cares about both the service he provides and the people he helps. Because of this follow-up and support, I am revising my overall experience to a 4-star review. I also hope the company's culture continues to reflect this level of care and professionalism and continues to support both customers and staff. --------------------------------------- Previous review -I brought my MSI laptop to this shop for a lid repair. At the time, there was a small crack on the left side near the hinge, and I was worried it might get worse , but the screen bezel was intact. I was initially told that once the part arrived, they would notify me to bring in the laptop, and the repair would then take about a full day. The part arrived on December 30, 2025, I dropped off the laptop on January 6, and picked it up on January 9. -After I got home, I turned on the webcam to prepare for a meeting, and noticed that the screen displayed a blue image. I contacted the shop immediately. I was asked to bring the laptop back for further inspection, but no explanation was provided regarding the possible cause of the issue. -Since the shop is about an hour away, I asked whether a remote diagnosis could be done first to better understand the situation. I was informed that there would be a charge for that service. At the same time, I looked into common causes of this issue and found that it can result from a protective film not being removed during repair. However, this possibility was not discussed. -If a likely cause had been communicated, it would have helped me better understand whether an immediate return visit was necessary. Without that information, the situation was unclear and required additional time and travel to resolve. -More recently, about four months after the repair, I noticed that the bezel near the hinge has cracked, even though I have been handling the laptop carefully. This area was not damaged prior to the repair. Given that the hinge area is a high-stress point, I am concerned that the repair or reassembly may have contributed to this issue. Overall, my experience was disappointing. While the initial interaction felt welcoming, it was followed by a noticeably self-protective approach when issues arose. Although the repair was completed, I encountered additional problems afterward that required significant time and effort to resolve. Based on this experience, I strongly recommend that others ask detailed questions about the repair process, confirm what testing will be performed, and ensure the device is thoroughly checked at the shop before taking it home. In general, I believe that clear communication and transparency are important in building trust with customers over the long term.

NOTE: The phone was working great except for the charging port, which was unreliable, when I brought it in. Because the guy had me by the balls at that point, I told him to just fix whatever and get the phone back as soon as possible. Two or three hours later, he was finally finished. When I picked up the phone, it no longer worked at all! It kept turning on and off and the screen was completely distorted. When I confronted him, he started screaming at me and physically pushed me out of the store and locked the door and told me because I was not nice abt him breaking my $1000 phone, he will not help me.

First off, id like to say that I had high hopes for this company. After all these "positive"…read morereviews, I finally gave them a shot. First attempt was when I called to ask how much to fix my older Imac . They basically said they didn't want to do it, that it wasn't worth it.... to them. For a business, I found that weird since customers are the ones paying for a service. I said, ok no problem. Still felt weird about it, but no big deal. There are other iMac repair places available that apparently like business. Then my wife's iPhone X needed a screen repair. I called ahead and specifically asked them for a price and was told $119 by someone named Juvencio. No other comments were made to me, no other questions. My wife takes the phone in later in the day and upon pick up is charged $151. She then tells me that she was not happy with the aftermarket super thick screen, and the colored variation of the glass. She lets whoever handed the phone over know, and then they tell her thats how it is and that original is $300+ . This was never mentioned upon dropping off before the service. THEN she gets the bill for $151. They're assumption that we wouldn't pay for an original glass makes me wonder again about their business practices. So we paid, a service was performed, and rightfully so the bill was paid. Im glad this happened to us because I USED to recommend this place to friends without having actually been a customer, but long time Ridgewood resident. Unfortunately once I needed work to be done, it wasnt as good as I had hoped for. Be aware that there are tons of PC and Mac places around, dont find the location a reason to be lazy to get a proper fix with ethical practices.

Service charge $300+ I returned from the holiday weekend and realized that the technician had taken my business printer off-line. I couldn't get it working and they were unable to resolve the problem over the phone so, on May 28, they sent the technician back to my apartment where he got the printer back on-line. Service charge $200+. I went out to lunch and, when I returned, I found that the printer was again off-line. I called and the issue was resolved by my unplugging the printer, waiting a few minutes, and plugging it back in. The unplugging technique, such as it was, would only last a few hours with the result that almost every time I needed to print or scan, I had to unplug, wait and re-plug. Additionally, the connection between the computer and printer had become very slow. I called again and requested that they send me a different technician who came on June 5. He put my printer back on line, did something that made the photo printer actually work, and was able to get the printer to respond more quickly when printing. Service charge $200+ June 6 the printer was again off-line. I called that morning and was told to "calm down." I'm done with Lincoln Business Machine.
