Wonderful. Florian was very pleasant, professional, and thorough with his work. He's very knowledgeable and quickly fixed the issues we had called about. Also, he is very patient in explaining his work and answering questions for those of us who are not "techies". Will definitely use his services again!

Price and timing were as quoted. This is the third time I used this shop for various PC repairs, they are the "go to" team in my book.

Fantastic! They were very professional and thourough and I was very comfortable having them in my home. Using Dell's phone/online tech support is slow, tedious and often doesn't resolve all the problems. From now on, I'm going to use a live human to fix my computers.
Description of Work: My PC had a "blue screen of death" resulting in an unusable PC and a laptop and printer that could no longer communicate with my home network. After 6 hours on the phone with Dell's tech support (which is in India) my PC was online but my laptop and printer were still not working. ProComputers came over and solved everything in two hours.

A very good experience! They were incredibly professional and worked quickly--though they were busy enough that we waited a day or so for our estimate. And the cost was quite reasonable. They do charge a flat fee of $49 to diagnose the problem. It gets applied to the repair, so that seems fair. I'll definitely use them again.
Description of Work: When one of our laptops at work failed to boot properly, our network consultant suggested this firm for repair. They examined the laptop and determined that the hard drive had to be replaced. They copied all the relevant files from the broken drive onto the replacement drive. When they were finished, the laptop worked exactly as if nothing had happened.

Necessary repairs (crashed hard drive) were made in about half a day.
Description of Work: We have a home office and have found it necessary to call on these guys several times over the past few years. They have saved our lives each time. We have been able to take advantage of the expedited service that they offer for $50 and feel that it is more that worth it and wish all repair facilities offered similar services. They have made the necessary repairs at a very fair price each time we have needed them.

We needed help resolving significant problems with Microsoft Outlook and setting up a home network. We called Pro Computers because they provided excellent service to us a year ago. We were able to make an appointment for the following day. Although Florian was running late, which was a bit inconvenient, he did give us the courtesy to call and let us know he'd be a bit late, which is always very appreciated. With regard to the actual work, he quickly set up our home network and then tackled the Outlook problem. Within a couple of hours he recovered missing files, resolved connection problems and set up a new account which has been running smoothly ever since. We are very satisfied with the service from Pro Computers and would highly recommend them to others.

Again, Pro was asked to recover 45GB of files from my defective hard drive. To put this in perspective, that translates into over 47,000 files. This was not an ordinary hard drive but a dual RAID hard drive. That means it was a complicated recovery job. The hard drive was actually two hard drives with the potential for half a file, for example, to be on one side and the other half on the other. If PRO messed up the data would have been erased from the drive with no recovery possible. Abt Electronics wouldn’t touch it. While PRO did not have either the expertise or the equipment (I'm uncertain which one or both they lacked) they did have a wonderful "go to" guy that did the job quickly and efficiently. It is perfectly acceptable to me for a company to pharm out their work. I went to PRO three times to recover my data. Once was to drop off the hard drives and to agree on a price ($600). After the recovery, I visited PRO for a second time with my external hard drive in hand. After all, once the data was recovered PRO needed a way to give it back to me (the original hard drives were useless). The next day I returned to PRO for the third and final time to get my external hard drive back with the recovered data in it. The $600 price was reduced to $540 after I noticed they offered a 10% discount on their website. Angie List customers get a 5% discount. As a side note, I am now having my files continuously backed up on line through Carbonite.
Description of Work: Pro was asked to recover all 45-50GB of files from my defective hard drive. This included Word , Excel, PowerPoint, .Jpg, movies, Print Shop, .PDF, and other files. These files were critical to me and I am kicking myself for not performing a manual backup to my external hard drive in over a year. Stupid! Some files that I didn't want recovered... I did not want to recover program files such as the files that make Windows or Microsoft Office work. Those files already resided in my new computer (my old computer had other problems besides the hard drive and had to be scrapped), or if they were not already installed in my new PC, I had the software disks to reinstall them. If these program files were included in the recovery, they had the potential to cause harm by overwriting the good program files that were in my new computer. For certain, they would not be of any use. So I did not want a full recovery but a selective one.

I had an emergency traveling to Chicago. My laptop computer would not actuate or turn on at all. I was presenting at a conference the following day and had 300 persons who were relying on me to have a working computer. I went to Best Buy and was told they would have to ship the unit back to Sony, which would take 6-8 weeks. They never even offered to open the unit and look at it. I desperately searched for another repair facility and found several that were closed or not located at the place where they stated. I ended up at Pro-Computers. They were professional, helpful, and were able to provide a solution and fix the unit in less than an hour. The cost was high, but given the urgency of the situation, it was completely acceptable. If you are looking for a repair facility that is ethical, responsive, and does superior quality work. Look no further than Pro-Computers in Chicago. They saved the day and the week!!!

They looked at my machine, took it in and charged a $49.00 fee as is their practice. Called a few days later with an estimate, also found touchpad was not working, and included an estimate for that repair. I agreed to both, and machine was ready a few days later, as promised.

This is one of the best experiences I have ever had with a service provider. If there was an A+ grade, I would give it to him. I would recommend him and his company to anyone who needed computer service.
Description of Work: My computer had been running very slowly and I was concerned that I had a virus. Florian added more RAM and got rid of a root kit that was lurking on my hard drive. He installed a program to check for problems and one to clean up the hard drive. He also recommended that I call my ISP and ask them why my service is so slow, when I am paying for (supposedly) the faster service that they claim on their website.

The fan in my laptop broke and they fixed it. However, it appears that while the fan was being replaced, the latch on the batter pack was accidentally loosened, such that the battery wouldn't stay connected. I brought the laptop back to them and they fixed the battery latch without charge. At a lot of stores/repair shops, I would have been arguing who caused the damage and how - but not at Pro Computers. They were apologetic and promised to fix it as soon as possible. I appreciated the one-on-one, honest service from a neighborhood store and I would absolutely return to them.

This was the smoothest repair ever! They kept me informed via email of the repair status, gave me the option of consenting to additional charges after their diagnostic workup via email, and informed me of the repair completion as soon as it was done. I would defintely use them again.

Fantastic. the problem is cleared up, and I have my computer back.
Description of Work: My computer had been acting strangely, and Florian (the owner of the company) came out and did some diagnostics. Turns out it is probably something with my backup drive, which after he went over the problem, made perfect sense. Florian was very professional and pleasant to deal with. The first thing he did when coming in the house was put on shoe protectors so as to avoid dirtying the floor. He told me everything he was doing, step by step. And he was very helpful in giving me additional information on web sites, etc. I will hire this firm again in a minute if I have to. They are the best.

Overall, very pleased with service. Gave me an accurate estimate of the cost and timeframe to fix my laptop. Provided me with an option for replacement of keyboard with used or new keyboard. Only issue was included in their bid they proposed replacing my anti-virus software. Inquired why as my service was current, they did not have a good explanation other than thought was inferior anti-virus. I did not elect to replace anti-virus.

Very well. I dropped it off one day and it was ready the next day around noon. There was no push to buy anything additional. I use this laptop as a second computer so I did not need the extra memory but it was fine that they told me what they could do for me and the price. I thought the work was done well and there were no problems.

After one week without a home computer, I paid over $130 ($50 in labor) for them to replace my power cord...what a waste. While they did call me a couple of days after we dropped off the computer to give us an update on ordering a part - the explanation was misleading - perhaps due to a language barrier - something about an adapter, etc.. At this point, we also told them we forgot to mention the CD drive was not playing properly and could they take a look at that as well. The surprise when we picked up the computer today that we had spent over $130 for a power cord and for what I consider to be a somewhat appalling dearth of effort and 'labor' on their part - is pretty disappointing. Admittedly, my husband and I are not tech savvy people and we should have inquired more about this 'adapter' (which is why we took the laptop in to them in the first place), but we would have understood the explanation: "Your power cord doesn't work and we're ordering you another one. (at an enormous markup)" And when we asked about the CD drive, the guy had no idea what we were talking about. It doesn't matter - we won't be taking the computer back here anyway.

Response from PRO - Technology Professionals
I am sorry that you feel that the "explanation was misleading" but if you do not know something I think best is to ask not to assume that we gave you the wrong information intentionally. We only buy genuine AC adapters and I find surprising that even if you approved the estimate upfront you find the price outrageous. Like my colleague told you guys over the phone yesterday: if you want to return that AC adapter we’ll refund your money no questions asked.

I dropped my sons netbook off the evening of the 26th of October to be repaired. I was given an estimate of the cost at that time. I was promised that it would be ready the evening of the 27th of October. I received a call and an email on the 27th in the afternoon that it was ready for pickup. When I went to pick up the netbook it had been repaired. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the actual cost of the repair was less that the quoted price. Pro Computers is located on the North Side of the city, I live far south and it was more than worth the drive.
