Review: Experience with Paul the Computer Guy…read more I need the "E" key on my ASUS ROG laptop repaired. I was aware this might require a full keyboard replacement. I still do. I first sent an email, and a week went by without any response. After following up, I was asked for additional model information, which I immediately provided. A week later, I was told the replacement part was not available. I then found a replacement keyboard online and asked if it would work. The answer was yes, but only if a special tool was used, and they do not have this tool. Response received: "That would work, if I had the equipment to heat mold the keyboard in. Unfortunately, the keyboard is attached with melted plastic, not screws, so it requires special equipment. I would need the entire palmrest/upper case to do the repair." Communication was slow, and there was little expressed interest in completing the repair I need.. ASUS has also not been helpful. The result is that I have a 2-year-old laptop that is close to unusable because of a non-functioning "E".

So, there was a lot of dead in my day... And then I called Michael and Paula at MPS Consulting. And my day was filled with a lot less six feet under. In fact, it was transformed by an excellent service response time, great conversation while the problem was assessed, and the verdict that while my battery in fact had bit the dust, my laptop was salvageable, and I was back in business and working away in less than 2 hours! To top it off, both Michael and Paula are very knowledgable about Apple products, have great service and rates, and will recycle parts as well as assist you in buying your next laptop. I highly recommend next time you need any laptop maintenance or have that "Oh sh*t" moment with your Apple product.

I found Joe's add on Craigslist and immediately called him to set up a time to come in and look at his selection. He has strict Covid protocols, which I appreciate, and setting up an appointment was quick and easy. The store was clean and I was able to look at a great selection of computers and accessories. He's very knowledgeable and offered set-up tips and tricks to make sure my computer runs smoothly and efficiently for years to come. I bought an upgraded 13in Macbook Pro and I have been so happy with it's performance. I did some research after my purchase and I believe I got one hell of a deal on this upgraded Macbook. After my initial experience I decided to start shopping around for an Ipad and Pencil, but was having trouble finding a source/seller I could trust. I called Joe to see if he had any in-stock and he was currently out. He did all the footwork for me, found a great deal on, what looks like, A BRAND NEW IPAD. I am so happy with my purchases and have recommended his shop to all my friends. THANK YOU JOE! I hope others choose local and call JOE!

On top of this, the owner or manager of the company offered to put a used processor out of his own personal computer that is several years old into our computer... And to complete my great service with this company, the screen is still broken and the cooling fans were never actually replaced, it still has the old fans inside it after taking the laptop apart myself. Do NOT go to this company, just buy a new computer... I spent $650 on this repair and could have boughten a new laptop of same version or slightly newer for just a couple hundred dollars more. Also, our repair took over two months!!! This company Sucks!

This one goes out to Phil and it's been a long time coming. I hope everyone reads this review…read morebecause I wasn't able to find a place to post a review when business comes from craigslist. Finally making this review. He doesn't even deserve a one star. This guy picked up my 27 inch Mac and my older MacBook Pro so he could update the operating systems. He pulls up in a crappy extremely unprofessional car and puts it facedown in the trunk on a blanket. That should've been my first red flag right there because I have the original box but he said he didn't want to use it. after working on it, he brought it back and things still weren't right so he took it again. Then when he couldn't get the Bluetooth mouse to connect with out a mouse at my home that was not Bluetooth he asked me if I wanted to go to Walmart with him to get one. (Seriously why doesn't he travel with a mouse that has a USB connect. ) What a creep! And when he brought the computer back, I explain to him that my 80,000 photos and 30,000 videos were no longer on my computer. He said yes they are there's 31,000 photos. I said no those are the ones on the cloud. He promised he would back up those photos and videos before he ever took my computer apart. I was VERY CLEAR The above mentioned photos that were not on the cloud had been taken and upload with an SD card. I was very clear about making sure they were backed up. I even gave him 2 hard drives to back them up onto in case they weren't there. I wasn't sure what was on either one, but gave him permission to use them. I paid this guy over $1000 and it has taken me a couple years to get to this review. I'm still so distraught and I would say to anybody looking for computer repair never ever trust this guy and he is so creepy. He talks so smooth but don't believe what he says. I'm making this post because it is so important for others to know that this is NOT someone u would ever trust. I could say so much more about my horrible experience and the tears I shed, but if I can at least convey to anybody looking for computer repair, I would suggest that you never ever talk to this guy! Clearly this is my opinion and experience, which I have the right to share. customer beware!!!!!

Took my 2014 Macbook Pro into Mactek On October 15 2016 due to liquid damage. The computer has been…read morein that shop pretty much ever since. As I write this it is 1/23/2017 over three months later. I have my macbook back but it is barely functional. They told me I could purchase a new motherboard and I did so. About 2 months later the new motherboard was installed. About 1 week after the installation the new motherboard failed and the computer would not turn on. I took it back to mactec and they told me their parts should be under warranty. They have since changed their story and told me their parts may or may not be under warranty and that they are "working" on getting the new motherboard repaired/replaced. Without discussing with me, they attempted a "refurbishment" of the old motherboard, gave the computer back to me with the old water damaged motherboard installed, and told me this was what they were able to do to resolve my situation. This is after paying them over $1,300 in repair costs. I order product "A" and they give me product "B". To make matters worse, the old motherboard that was inserted into the machine in a desperate attempt to resolve the situation, showed signs of failure a day after I took it home. I am still working with them to come to an amicable solution, if they manage to repair or replace my new motherboard I will update and edit this review. 3/7/2017 Review Update: The issue has come to an amicable solution and I am very grateful that Mactek worked very hard to make this issue right. I appreciate the followthrough and commitment to good customer service and honest business. Glad to come to a solution with these folks. I think me as the customer and them as the business both ran into some bad luck!
