Be certain to ask them for a card and to not put a sticker on your computer. My experience was negative on the whole. I asked them if they felt comfortable diagnosing something I had difficulty solving and informed them that I was competent with building and servicing PCs. When I received my computer back, they mentioned that they had reinstalled Windows because of an improper boot partition. They were wrong. The problem stemmed from a bug in the 24H2 update of Windows that did not play nicely with either of my Western Digital NVME drives. I discovered the bug on Reddit and updated my SN770 2TB storage drive's firmware, though I noticed it (the drive itself) would appear and disappear. This was a new problem. So low and behold my computer updated again to 24H2 and same problem as before. Apparently the SN550 Boot Drive was also experiencing the same issue with DRAM-less WD drives, but was not given an update option nor was it validated as being a problem by WD. This necessitated a new drive for my OS, so I went with Crucial. Insofar as I was taking my computer apart to install a drive, I explored the issue with my storage drive. Bits and Bytes had broken the primary NVME port on my motherboard so that drives would no longer fit securely. When speaking with the technician, he mentioned he had never seen a board quite like that and had trouble extricating the drive. I fixed the problem myself and all it cost was $150 to Bits and Bytes, a new hard drive for my OS, a new motherboard, and a lot of time. I will not be going back.

My tablet screen was broken and Jeff offered to repair/replace it, but had never done it before on that particular item and wouldn't guarantee the work. I took my chances with him and he did an excellent job. It is now many years later (2024) and I've had to move to a retirement village where we have an IT department which takes care of most of our IT needs. Unfortunately my old, 5SE iPhone which I need because of manual dexterity problems, couldn't be repaired by the new, young tech and ended up in worse shape than before. The floating Home button cannot be eliminated, the regular Home button which had been difficult to push is permanently stuck. It is now Friday evening and I'll have to wait until Monday to somehow get the phone down to Peak Wireless and have Jeff and his crew work their magic on it.

This time, I needed a MacBook Air battery looked at (and a Pro, but we never got that far). I was told it'd be $107 per device just for a diagnosis. Not ideal, but how much it would actually cost to replace the battery? "I dunno." Seriously? After pushing, the guy reluctantly went to check, making it clear I was inconveniencing him. He came back with a quote--for the wrong model--then told me they couldn't provide an estimate for my specific machine. So, to be clear: I could pay $107, get hit with a sky-high repair cost, and still walk away needing a battery? And you can't even give me a ballpark figure? "Yep." That's not my idea of good customer service. How can they not have a rough estimate for a battery replacement? I used to recommend them, but not anymore.

If something goes wrong with my laptop, printer or some other gadget that we can't live without today, I'm loathe to take it somewhere to get it fixed.

Chris actually explains to me what is wrong with my laptop or printer or whatever and how he is going to fix it. Even if I'm too dense understand, he won't take that for granted. Once, my laptop's screen went completely blank, I couldn't afford to buy a new one at the time. He got the replacement part & got it working again for about $50. Another time, I was too simple to get my wireless printer to print. Okay, I had never been able to get it to print without connecting the cable directly to my computer. I called Chris and he was able to solve the problem remotely, that night. If I ever have another issue, I would definitely use Miltronics again.
