I have to say that Unique Geek has gone above-and-beyond the call. Suffice it to say, I rely heavily on my computer at work. Initially had a Mac laptop crash and they were quick and cost-effective with the repair and getting the machine back online. Most recently, had a hardware failure on my work computer (late '09 Mac laptop) and knew the machine was at the end of it's life. So, had to look for a replacement...quickly! Had the choice of going to one of the online stores or one of the other big name auction places and wasn't comfortable with either (having to make a quick choice and purchasing something potentially not in good working order). Then Unique Geek came to mind. Went out and talked to Basil and gave him my situation and what I was looking for in a replacement machine. Thought he might have some reliable resources for refurbished machines. He asked for a bit more time to try and find a replacement machine, so decided to see what he could come up with. Basil called the following day and said that he had a machine that was available and within my specs and cost-range. That is exactly what I wanted to hear. The machine runs like a champ! I was back online within about three days (after getting all of my software and files re-downloaded) and our clients were none the wiser. Couldn't ask for anything better. Thanks Basil and Cory! Appreciate all the work you've done for us. read more

I spilled a bottle of water on my MacBook Pro and it completely died on me. I thought it was heading for the garbage. I decided though, considering how expensive these computers are, to see if a store existed that could fix it. I discovered how hard it is to find places who will work with Apple products and was thrilled to discover Unique Geek in Valpo. Long story short, I left it with them and as they worked on it, cleaning it, doing whatever diagnostics they had to do to identify the issues, they often called to give me updates and always were extremely kind, knowledgeable and gave me 'hope' that they had solutions on the way. Fortunately, they DID have the ability to fix it... Some parts needed to be replaced, but the costs were NOTHING compared to what it would have cost to buy a brand new computer... I am SO HAPPY they fixed it! It's so great to know that water damage does not mean the end to your computer! Unique Geek is an amazing group of people who clearly know what they are doing and you can tell they feel very satisfied and happy when they know they were able to fix our phones or computers and save us money! I will go to them in the future now for even a simple cleaning or maintenance of my products! GREAT SERVICE!!! read more

Have an iphone 5 that the Verizon store told me had a bad antenna and I would have to buy a new phone. My husband suggested I check out this place. I took the phone in and explained all the steps the clerk at the Verizon store had taken to determine the problem. Unique Geek said that is something they can fix. It turned out the antenna was OK but one of the contacts was just not right. They fixed the phone and charged me less than quoted since they didn't have to replace the antenna. I would never have known if they replaced the antenna or not, so I was very happy about their being forthright about it. I also have an older iphone 5 with a battery that won't charge and I have hundreds on photos on it which were never backed up (issue with Apple ID); Unique Geek will replace the battery for less than I've seen anywhere else. I'll get my photos back and have a back-up cell phone. So happy with their service & pricing, and highly recommend this place! read more

I just took my Surface Pro 3 (with a cracked screen) to this shop a couple weeks ago. I had to pay for a replacement screen and the services of repair. When I finally got the call that my Surface was ready for pickup, I was extremely pleased to find out that not only did the gentleman fix the screen, but he had run a diagnostics test to see if there were any additional problems with the device. He found that there was a Manufacturer's error that was destroying my Surface. To provide me with 100% customer satisfaction, he persuaded Microsoft to reluctantly replace my faulty Surface with a brand new one fully loaded with Windows 10 and Cortana. I walked in with a broken Surface, and walked out with a fully-loaded brand new one. Unique Geek will dedicate themselves to helping you out, no matter what. I couldn't be happier with my decision to choose them for repairs, and I highly recommend them to anyone with busted electronics. read more

Basel at Unique Geek reminds me a lot of the late Steve Jobs because he is so passionate and cares so much about all the details. He wants to make sure that you get an amazing product and will do everything he can to assure he provides the best service. He is so pleasant to talk with and is a great spirit! We started the project with a basic idea and it kept evolving from there. I kept asking him to do cool things with the website and he was able to do them all. He is so intelligent and will figure something out if he doesn't know how to do it. The most important thing is that I trust Basel at Unique Geek. He explains things in a way I can understand and most importantly doesn't push anything I don't need. I have worked with a lot of web developers and will only work with Basel going forward. Feel free to check out the website he created for me: www.fixscorenow.com read more

Amazing service, prices, turn-around, and attention to detail! I couldn't be happier. A bad cord fried my iPhone 6 plus. The "warranty program" with Verizon wanted $199 to replace with a refurbished.....plus, I would lose all my data on the phone (outside of contacts). I had important lists, etc. Anyway, the owner acted like the phone was his own baby that needed attention. He worked his butt off to get it fixed. Plus the price was far less than had I sent it to Verizon AND I got to keep all the important data I needed. This place saved my butt! I will go here for ANY of my electronic (phone, computer, TV, etc.) needs. This place is a hidden gem and my only fear is that because they are so good and the owner cares so much, that soon they will be so busy that quality will fade. Go now! And Thank you to Unique Geek! read more

I had an issue with my computer tower not turning on after using it earlier in the day.. I called the big box store down the road and was told that I would need an appointment just to drop off the tower for them to assess before work could be done on it.. The next available time was 36 hours later!! No way I could wait that long, so I did a search for repair and I'm so happy that I found Unique Geek. Basel, the business owner did an outstanding job diagnosing my tower issue and repairing it within mere hours... They even followed up with me the next day to make sure things were running to my satisfaction.. You really can't beat your local small businesses for needs like this. I will not forget the quick, friendly and affordable service they provided!! Thank you... Tony Micciche read more

My wife broke her screen on a galaxy s6 active. Apparently it is the worst phone to break a screen on. I am not tech dumb, so I figured I could find a way. We tried everything. I tried every store in my area, and they all said no. She called these guys, and they found a way. It was expensive, not to their faults , but they found a way to rescue pictures that we could not ever lose. Excellent people. Excellent service. Side note; we had some time for them to download the phone onto my hard drive. We had left to take care of some other things while we wait. I called to let them know we got in a car accident trying to run errands while they worked. One of the guys offered to pick us up and take us back to the shop to stay warm and wait for our ride. Unreal. These guys are amazing. read more

My Macbook Pro was completely stalled at the login and would not load anything. Unfortunately, it was not able to be resolved at another location in town and I was encouraged to take my laptop to Drive Savers (suggested pricing $700-2700). A friend of mine referred me to Unique Geek. I was told it would take 2-3 days to diagnose and was then told it would be a very difficult job to recover my computer/hard drive which contained all of my 4 kids baby photos (backup lesson learned). After 2 weeks of hard work, my computer has been completely restored, all documents and photos saved! I strongly encourage anyone to give this place a shot, they fixed my Apple problem when an Apple store could not. Thanks for the great work and saving all of our memories! read more

The owner of Unique Geek in Valparaiso cheerfully accepted helping me with my non-functioning MacBook. He took it back to factory install, and diagnosed the mother board as being functional. Why is this service "unique?" I had taken it to an Apple Store for the same service and they wouldn't take on this (apparently) routine problem with people who like me who can't do these things. The owner was professional and took time to thoroughly explain what he was doing to do and exactly what it would cost. Very honest, encouraging, and cordial. What an excellent experience with a small businessman. I traveled over an hour to Valparaiso but it was definitely worth the trip! I highly recommend using Unique Geek. read more

I had a very unexpected repair on my Mac that I worried was going to cost A LOT to fix. They got me in the next morning, ordered the part and quoted me a price. Initially, they estimated 4 weeks and my replacement part was going to be used with a slight defect. All of which I agreed to since it would cut my expected cost in half. One week later they called to say it was already to go and with a BRAND NEW part...with no increase in the price! They were fast, accommodating and they did great work. They will absolutely be my go to repair place! read more

We needed a cell phone screen replacement on a rare phone and no one else was able to help us. I was told to try Unique Geek because they handle tech and not just phones. They were able to find a screen to order with in minutes, gave us sound advice for after repair replacement, and charged less than expected. I dropped the phone off when screen arrived and it was as good as new in a couple hours. They were great to work with and I had complete confidence in the repair!! I will definitely go there with any tech repairs in the future. read more

This business is truly a secret gem. I had my iPhone 6 screen previously replaced by another business. It worked for about 3 months, and then suddenly stopped working. I took it into Unique Geek. John ran a free diagnostic test and told me there were screws missing. The screen needed to be replaced. He showed me the new screen and how my phone worked after he replaced it. It only took 1 hour. I would highly HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone who needs an electronic repaired. So thankful for this business! read more

I had a problem with my trackpad, and when I took it in they were able to look at it and explain clearly what was wrong and what they would recommend to fix it. The staff were very friendly and knowledgable and weren't pressuring to do any expensive repairs, just laid out the problems and what some possible plans of action could be. There were multiple hiccups with the battery supplier, but unique geek was able to resolve them as quick as possible while keeping me updated. Would definitely recommend :) read more

Took my iPad mini 2 in to get the screen repaired. They were able to repair it in 1 day. I picked it up the next day and it looked great. Unfortunately when I tried to use it before I left the screen went "crazy". The technician was very receptive and told me he would fix it within a day again. This was all during the Memorial Day weekend. I picked it up on Tuesday and it worked great. I will definitely be using Unique Geek for all my screen repair needs. read more

Fantastic experience. Took my CPU in bc I was having slowness and freeze-up issues. Had to get the hard drive replaced. They had about a 4 day turnaround bc they had to order the part. The ordered a 2 day rush on the part and gave me a 50% discount on BitDefender virus protection bc of my wait. They took the time to explain everything to me and really engendered a sense of trust and safe keeping. I will recommend them to friends and fam in the future. read more

I had a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S5 and they fixed it with no problem!! They said it may be a hard to do if they had to take the screen off, but they did it and the cost was very reasonable. It was so much cheaper than having to buy a new phone!! I also had a problem with downloading photos from my Samsung phone to my Macbook Pro and they helped me with that as well. They are wonderful people to work with too. I highly recommend them!! read more

They are honest, true to their word and attentive to keep me notified they are working on my equipment. My cell phone glass had shattered while we were on vacation. I contacted them and he quoted me a price. Even though it took much longer to repair, because it was such an old phone, he said he would stick with his original quoted price. Amazing! That never happens in today's business world. read more
