    I brought my non-working PCI card and computer to VFX & Technology after being told they had the…read moreproper equipment to diagnose and possibly repair it. I was told the diagnosis would take 24-48 hours. It took about a week. I paid $90 upfront for the diagnostic. I was later quoted $200 to replace the processor chip. I decided not to proceed with the repair and went to pick up my equipment. When I arrived, I was first told it was fixed. Then I was told it was not fixed but that a bad capacitor had been identified and it could be repaired in two hours. I agreed to wait, but then I was told they were going to lunch for a couple of hours. I returned the next day. The next day, the door was locked. I called and was told they were closed. When I asked to pick up my property, the owner became hostile and threatened to call the police. I was told to return the following week. When I went back at 11:30 a.m., I was told there was an issue at the shop and that I would need to meet at another storefront in Hyde Park. I was told to come at 1:30 p.m., then it was changed to 2:30 p.m. I refused the change, and eventually received the address to retrieve my equipment. In the end, nothing was repaired. I was also told they did not have the programmer required and that it would cost $200 for one. I later purchased the same programmer new on eBay for $35 and a replacement chip for $44. The communication was inconsistent, timelines were not honored, and picking up my own property became unnecessarily difficult. Based on this experience, I would not return.

    This was by far the most unprofessional, drawn out horrific experience. From the rambling owner…read morewho has issues with accountability and honesty. What was predicted to be an 3day repair turned into over 3 weeks due to mistakes, missed deliveries and missteps. After repairing he lied about part delays but later admitted to his staff re-cracking the device . Only after lying about it being delivered broken. He also missed the 3 attempts to delivering when he wasn't open during his business hours. He then completely disassembled my device for an external issue. Only to have my device not turn on after he finally called me to pick up after 3 delays and extensions. He never apologized, never took accountability never fixed the problem. In fact he made it worse. I left with additional issues. Bad decision. Bad business. Bad experience.

    DO NOT take your computer to this store. You will come out with a $100 charge and a computer that…read moreis more broken than before. The employees are very difficult to understand and also have a hard time understanding customers. After charging me to diagnose my laptop's problem, they ordered a part. One week later the part arrived and I dropped of my computer to have it installed - they charged me again on the spot, and said more would be due when I picked it up. At the end of the day I still hadn't heard from them, so just went in. They had not installed the new part and the repairman said he "was not confident" to do so because my laptop was "complicated." He said it should still work fine, though, despite not replacing it, and charged me for the part and installation. Then when I got my computer home, the sound wasn't working. I took it back in and complained about the sound and the fan charge. They keep the computer for two days and then left a message saying the had finally replaced the part they couldn't replace before, and they also needed a new part for the sound issue, which they would pay for. After six days, they called and said the part was incorrect and that it would be an additional five days to get the right one. They said it is hard to find the parts on eBay. I asked if they had tried my laptop company directly, and they said no, they had not. Nightmare. Definitely go elsewhere if you can.

    Jason is fantastic! I have been going to his Windy City Computer shop for about 3 years. The…read moreservice is prompt and very very efficient. Jason will do a diagnostic right on the spot and give you a general idea of what is going on with your computer. He can rebuild a computer!!! He charges are very very reasonable. I have referred many friends and family members to Windy City Computer and they all have been very satisfied. As I have waited for my PC following repair, customers have always been inside giving Jason accolades on a job well done. He even has a PC set up where anyone can pay buck to go on-line and retrieve email. I think Jason is a computer genius and its great that he this computer repair shop and provides a wonderful service.

"Hi, You'll have to drop it off so we can inspect it further. We charge $20 upfront for the inspection and will need it for a few days. Thanks." I brought my speaker to his shop and paid $20 to inspect. Still not knowing if he could fix or not. Inspection took two weeks and two days, Then I get a call from Anthony and he said he could fix the problem also my other control knob was also on the verge of breaking and he would fix that too. The estimate is between $180 and $200. I gave him the go ahead and my speaker was repaired within two days. I asked him if I could pick up the speaker within four days Saturday because I lived way on the south side and he said that was fine. When I picked up the speaker we tested it there to make sure it was working properly. Not only was it working properly and both control knobs were fixed but he added the knobs that were missing that caused the problem in the first place. My total charge including inspection $200. I 100% recommend Athonys Electronics, Friendly service, reasonable price, honest. I did not mind the inspection wait time it just shows that he does not rush jobs and wants to do it right. the picture on the right shows what the speaker knob looked like before I took it in. Pic on the left is what it looked like after.
