To start, we've worked with TK for years. They built a gaming laptop for my husband, done diagnostics and RAM installation. If you're looking for the best place for repairs, diagnostics, installation-- whatever it is, you have found the place. These guys operate from a place of knowledge, integrity, and care just as much about fixing the problem as you do. They are upfront about cost, and will give you honesty and professionalism every time. I've worked with Matt a few times now, he built that gaming laptop back in 2018 for my husband that is still running like it did the day he got it. Recently, I was having issues with installing new RAM into my gaming laptop, Matt took time to talk to me about what was going on and was super accommodating about getting me in. If you're someone who is really picky about who does your tech repairs, then this is the place. You're working with people who get it. Support local business, especially the ones that are good to their customers and take pride in their work. read more

Bait and switch fee charges He says your fee is X amount. Thereafter if you talk with him he abruptly raises your fee for what he says is "training." He does not inform you in advance of the additional conciliation fee. He is a fraud and is guilty of deceptive business practices. Furthermore, he then exbibytes a mean spirited attitude apparently because he did not charge you enough in the first place. Beware, do not do business at TK Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa. You will get cheated the first chance they get. read more

I dropped my PC off and was told 2-3 days for a diagnostic. Four days later, I went in to check the status. I was met with excuses as to why the work wasn't done, and asked to have my PC returned to me. I was refused. The jackass in the picture was the low-brow individual I had to deal with. Nonsense insults were hurled at me the entire time. He said that he could "kick my ass", and threatened to throw a TV down the stairs at me (see picture 2!). Then, when the police arrived, he told them I had assaulted him. I captured the entire interaction on video and was quickly able to prove him wrong. I did not receive my computer back until 6 days despite being told this would take 2-3. Get a work ethic, get your shit together, and learn to act professional. read more

I was trying to help a friend who is here from Europe for 2 months. TK Iowa helped her on the spot with connectivity for her laptop, at a very reasonable fee. I've always gotten great service on my own laptop as well. Their main focus is on masking the customer happy. I'd highly recommend TK Iowa. read more

Tk Iowa was a great experience. Friendly and fixed my tablet problem while I waited. Highly recommended.

Took old gaming desktop in for diagnostics - suspected I knew what the problem was, but wanted confirmation before I replaced the parts. The good: -They made the right diagnosis. -The Diagnostics were not expensive ($50.00) -The quoted price for parts was reasonable, close to or at cost. -The techs were responsive to requests for update, and one of them seemed genuinely excited in talking about my build -Gave me a 50% discount on the required cleaning The bad: - Insisted on cleaning the system and charging me $40.00 for it before they began diagnostics. - It took 16 days for what I'm pretty sure is a fairly straightforward troubleshoot. Most of this was due to their current backlog, which they warned me about in advance, but it still ran an entire week over their original estimate. - Wanted to charge $40.00x2 to install new RAM and a video card (these are trivial installations that most people can do at home in under an hour). I was unwilling to pay that price for the installation, so I ordered the parts online and installed them myself. System is now up and running again. Overall, I'd say they're like a quality and trustworthy mechanic. They charge what might be a bit more than you want, but they were both competent and honest and got to the heart of the problem. read more

I went to TK Iowa to see if they could do better than what I could do on my own. They charged me $95 to tell me what I already knew, and could not save the computer. So I reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled Windows on my own. They charged me $25 to pull one folder (albeit a big one) off of my hard drive. I was thankful for the files but thought it was quite expensive - $120 - for one folder of files. read more

I cannot believe the great service these guys have! They took care of two of my laptop problems at a very cheap, reasonable price. It is even within my budget as a college student! And the service was so quick. Definitely recommending to others!! read more

Great service, rather quick, good guys, fair price. Recommended to anyone with tech problems

I arrived at Cedar Rapids Airport on a Friday morning with a laptop that had ceased to function during my trip. I needed it desperately, in order to do work while in Iowa City over the weekend. Called a couple of places, and TK Iowa actually answered their phone - good start. Matt spoke with me and advised me to bring it to them (but couldn't promise anything until they did diagnostics). I left it off with them, hoping that I MIGHT get it back working before the weekend was over. Their tech got right on it, and Matt called me a couple of hours later, to tell me that they had gotten it working again. I was lucky that a major part wasn't needed, or it might not have turned out this way. But TK Iowa's willingness to attend quickly to a traveler's computer emergency speaks highly of them and their diligence. I would trust them with anything computer related, and give my highest recommendation. read more

I was referred to this shop by another computer repair shop and I'm glad. A nice group of tech people who try to make sure they get the job diagnosed, fixed and back to the customer in a speedy yet deliberate amount of time. I also found the cost to repair my computer was most reasonable. Friendly service at a reasonable cost and timely return is as good as it gets. Thanks TK. read more

I have had a custom built computer for 3 years and in the last year started to have problems. I took my computer to multiple computer shops including Best Buy's Geek Squad and nothing compares to the expertise and quality of TK IOWA. I had a failing processor that nobody seemed to tell me about until I took it to TK IOWA. Matt was quick to access the problem and gave me solutions, including which new processor to order. I will bring my computer here and future builds here if I ever have computer related problems again. 10/10 read more

I came to Tech Knowledgists on the off chance that they could help fix the color on my tv. It had been screwed up for a while and they were my last attempt before just buying another television. I expected them to fix it, but I was surprised with the speed of the service and the exceptional customer service they gave me. Just friendly people, and my picture has been flawless ever since. Five stars for sure. read more
