I used another local computer store to add memory to my desktop. In the process, all my documents were lost. I asked them to try and recover them, but to no avail. I am very grateful for Vicom PC. It recovered all my data and upgraded my apps. Christopher P read more

My PC was built at Vicom in July 2019. Since then, there has never been a single glitch in this high quality build. Duncan built it exactly to my specifications at an incredibly reasonable price. I'm 70-years-old and have been using personal computers since the 90s. Of all the places I've brought my equipment for repairs, Vicom is the absolute best. I just brought it in for service because the system was infiltrated by a virus. I had my PC back within 48 hours working like a charm. My final cost was well below Duncan's estimate. He went out of his way to make sure I was a satisfied customer. Duncan is honest and doesn't oversell. He's an extremely knowledgeable tech who is honest and comfortable to work with. He also sells accessories and refurbished equipment. Thank you, Duncan, for a job well done. read more

My processor was idling at 90°C and was working preventing me from using it for processor intensive purposes. Duncan was straight forward with taking my computer in, and diagnosing it. Their shop has plenty of pc supplies and they just so happened to have a high end processor cooler there, along with many others on different colors. He was very fast and efficient, In just 2 days, he was done. It turns out that my computer had more issues than I thought beforehand. The bill was very straight forward, and there were no unnecessary charges. If you have an issue, take it in here, Duncan is very nice and will sort your computer out. The only hassle on your part is to drive there, and give some very basic information to him. He is a genius, he will understand your computer problems. read more

Vicom guys fixed my computer after two minimum efforts failed by the Best Buys Geek Squad technicians. Needless to say, I will cancel my Total Tech Support by the Geek Squads immediately. Vicom did a great job of finding and pulling very important files from my old computer and installing them into my new computer, which Geek Squad said it couldn't be done!!!! They were wrong. Needless to say, Geek Squad technicians need better training. I highly recommend VicomPC. read more

A local place I bring my iPhones to recommended this place when I needed help with my MacBook. Duncan listened to what my needs were with the laptop. He was transparent with the work that needed to be done, how long it would take and the cost. He didn't push for extra parts or services. He was actually able to get laptop back to me the very same day! I did have a question about something, and he was able to get back to me rather quickly. I'll definitely be a return customer and would recommend his services to my friends and family. read more

My computer was on its last leg and needed a hard drive that proved very hard to locate. Duncan (the owner) was so knowledgeable, helpful and patient throughout the whole process of locating it, transferring the data and helping me navigate the new software. I highly recommend this local business! read more

A GEM hidden is plain sight. I can't believe I have driven past Vicom for years and have never stopped in.......well I did this morning. Not only did they have all kinds of gadgets I need but they also have travel bags and laptop cases. Two and four monitor holders, 100 foot rolls of CAT 5 cable for $25 and lots of "toys" your computer or laptop might for Christmas. The owners son works there too and he's knowable about software and how to transport your TV show to about anywhere you are. IN OTHER WORDS this place is a goldmine of information and they also repair/upgrade too. read more

fantastic guy really great. I needed a part and when I showed up to pick it up he just gave it to me and we spoke about different computing builds and just made me want to come back and buy all my hardware and machines from him. read more

Wow, whatever happened to local stores that are honest and helpful? Well, this is one of the last hold-outs. Extremely knowledgeable people. Not afraid to talk to you and help without necessarily selling you something. I'm somewhat tech savvy and went there for some advice and to take advantage of their great experience. I'm very impressed and they're certainly the only place I'd ever go next time I need some help. Highly recommended! read more

My Major complaints PC Case accessories that were sold to us are missing major components such as: 1. 5v ARGB GPU support bracket with no 5v connecter, just a sata power cable to connect to the PSU. so it can't be addressable RGB if you can't plug it in to the motherboard or RGB HUB. there isn't even a spot for a 3 pin to connect to. its just missing like it was intentionally and almost surgically removed from the product. 2. a remote controlled RGB LED strip set with no remote... Additionally, I told a store rep over the phone the specifics of my case and what I was going for. He told me not to worry and then proceeded to sell my family random crap that was directly in conflict with what I was going for. Here are my minor complaints: Family member that purchased Items was promised by the clerk she spoke to that I would be able to return them for any reason. The receipt she was given states "all sales final" with a maximum of three days to return a faulty product. not particularly great for the holiday season but it is a small company. Based off of the receipt. Parts cost literally 100% more then any competitor I've seen yet. Including other brick and mortar stores like ALTEX in San Antonio or Micro center in Houston. Finally when I went to attempt to exchange items for fans or anything that would actually help my PC build he informed me he was going to close the store over 4 hours early to run an errand. his store was going to be closed the next day so in order to get there before I left town I would pretty much have to teleport past the front door. he made no offer to give me enough time to get there meaning his store would be open a maximum of two hours on a Saturday. Final thoughts: All in all the reason I went with two stars instead of one is because ultimately I'm mad at what I believe is a sleazy business owner in a economy that rewards sleazy business practices. but maybe it was just carelessness? other people could have taken those things from the products when he wasn't looking and most small businesses I've seen do not appear to have measures to prevent opened products being sold? that and everything else I'm upset about are inconveniences. such as parts I have no desire for could not be exchanged nor can I resell them at full price because as I've mentioned they have crucial pieces missing and I refuse to do that to someone else. other reason I did not give a one star is due to the fact I could not get into the store itself which likely could have changed this review to be a thorough 5 star review. read more

Patrick came to our house and picked up my computer (when he couldn't repair it here due to it being a motherboard issue) at 5:00 in the evening, and by noon the next day, all of my components had been installed into a new box with a new and improved motherboard, and it was brought back and totally set up for me (absolutely worth the home service fee)! Duncan was so helpful and service was fabulous. I will use ONLY this shop for my computer needs in the future! Totally delighted. Beautiful new computer with cool blue lights and SO quiet! Thanks for saving us, Vicom - love you guys!!! Holly and Don in Circle C read more

Duncan is very helpful and patient with low tech clients like me! He was extremely fair and reasonable with pricing. I have used this establishment at least 4 times and my Dad has come here a couple of times! Highly recommend! I'm not the easiest client to work with but he stuck with me and didn't rush me, made sure I was completely satisfied before I left! read more

After weeks, another computer repair company was unable to diagnose and repair my son's gaming PC. We brought it to Duncan at Viacom PC and he was able to fully diagnose the issues and had it completely up and running in no time. read more

I recently built a gaming PC and received faulty hardware from an online store, I also got a little in over my head in the build process. Duncan & Vicom PC have been incredibly helpful during this experience and I can not recommend them more. I wish I'd gone to him to begin with. 10/10 read more

Trashed my laptop. The guys at Vicom diagnosed it quickly and salvaged my data for me. They are now my go to place for computer repairs. They helped me document the mishap for my homeowner's insurance. Straight shooters. Go see for yourself. read more

Duncan was sweet and helpful. He had our chromebook fixed within a couple of days for a very reasonable price. He was kind to my son and and a great mix of professional and personable. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

I have had Duncan replace my laptop screen twice and bought a gaming system for my son. Great to work with.

I took my laptop in for a RAM and hard drive upgrade. Really great service and fair pricing. I will 100% be back!

I recently brought my nine-year-old desktop to Duncan for repair after it crashed. I was under the impression that I could have the graphic interface and RAM upgraded. Not so because it was so old. We talked about a new system. I was amazed with the cost he quoted for a brand new tower that my nephew could use for gaming and me for my graphic design business. I can now open four programs, and perhaps even more, without programs freezing. The new system speed screams. I'm not an easy customer with which to deal. Through all of it, Duncan remained cool, calm and collected. If you're looking for quality customer service and excellent products, choose Vicom' you won't regret it. Kudos to Duncan!! read more

This shop is selling GPUs at over twice cost of MSRP. When I asked why the price is so high, he quickly got defensive and said it was in line with "market value" (i.e. scalper prices on eBay and Amazon). read more

My sister's old HP laptop was so slow she couldn't even use it. I said let me take it to Vicom and see if they can help. I took it in and talked to Trevor and he suggested several things to get it back in shape. I was able to get a 8G stick of RAM, a new SSD drive and a USB dongle for high-speed downloads. I also was able to get Windows 10 reloaded and cloned her old harddrive. It now boots up in seconds and now able to hit 100 Mbps on wireless downloads. I am so pleased with the results, I'm going to try and fix up my old Dell. Thanks, again read more

The best ever service and sales. Nice option from big box. Great south Austin location.

I took my son's PC here when it died and took my own in for an upgrade. Excellent work, prompt communication, delivered on time and on a budget. Staff was friendly and more than willing to get hands on and show exactly what was going on. I have been putting PC's together since the 90's and would much rather have these guys do it than crack the case myself. I am a believer! read more

I needed to get my computer screen fixed, I do not have the greatest luck at placement of car keys/ water destroying phones/ my girlfriend stepping on my computer when she got up to use the restroom at 3am. Glad I found these guys. Out of the three places I called they were the cheapest, friendliest and most willing to work with me. I had to get the computer fixed quickly and after calling the first couple business's they said it would take a couple days; the guy on the phone was like "bro I can do that in an hour and for cheaper" Thanks you guys will come back. read more

We lived across the street from these guys for 16 years and never had a reason to darken their doorway until last week. Our 2.5 year old PC got sick and we took it there for a fix. We checked them out in Yelp first and then dropped off the PC. The guys there are just great! They cleared off a ton of malware and a couple of viruses that got through. They set us up with more stringent, but free, malware and virus protection and they upgraded us to Windows 10. It's like we got a new computer for $150. I spent the next couple days getting familiar with the new stuff and called back with a few follow-up questions. The gentleman who took my call answered all my questions. They're a good crew who charge reasonable prices for quality work. read more

We have used Vicom / Duncan for the last couple of years and honestly don't know why we have not written a review before now. We had been dealing with a National Group for service and repairs at a big box store and were having problems getting a system fixed. On our 3rd or 4th visit for the same problem (blue screen popping up) They recommended Duncan & Vicom. This was almost 3 years ago and we depend on them for all repairs and any new computer equipment and software we need. We operate a couple of small businesses that rely on our computer equipment not only for communications but product design work, Duncan and the people at Vicom have made sure we can depend on our computer systems for our work. Also it is great to have a local group who works so well and is reliable Dan B read more

Went in there this week the drop off my non-functioning laptop. Laptop was fixed and it is working great! I have used these guys for about 6-7 years now.

My computer was really outdated and had not had a proper security update since 2008. Vicom did an amazing job and fixed everything which increased the efficiency of my computer. It also turned out that I needed a new hard drive. I didn't feel for one minute that they were trying to get more money out of me, they took their time to explain to me what was happening and what would happen in the future if I decided to wait which was okay too. I really appreciated the time and care they took with me and their super reasonable prices. I will highly recommend them and will use them for everything going forward. Thanks Vicom PC! read more

Thank you Duncan for being so kind to my mom and I. You helped us out a ton!! I highly recommend Vicom PC if you want super friendly and wonderful service. read more
