When we started with CTS we had Dan make house calls to our ailing XP. Then we had to bring our tower in when the hard drive failed. He was able to retrieve all of our files from it and put it on a new hard drive. I've read that they are masters of data retrieval and they are. Since he's been so good with our XP, I decided to get the laptop from them. I haven't been disappointed. We won't use anyone else.
Description of Work: I don't have the exact figures at hand. What I do know is that I started using them for repairs several years ago. Dan is awesome. Because of all of the excellent past service, I decided to buy a Lenovo laptop directly from them late last summer/early fall. I had already mapped out what I wanted. I got everything and a number of things I didn't think I could afford -- for $200.00 less than I had estimated. It has run perfectly all this time.

Great. This is a shop that does computer sales and service. Dan is the main tech guy, and he is amazing. I have been going there for all my computer needs for 10 years or more. When I have needed repairs, like dealing with viruses (very rare these days), I will bring it in, and it is usually foxed in 2-3 days, and always at such a fair price. I used to take computers to big stores for repairs, and it would cost $100 for them to just look at it, and then labor cost always seemed crazy. At CTS, that is not the case. The pricing and quality of work is terrific. This family run business is so good. I have only used them for work on PCs. Not sure if they deal with Mac repairs.
Description of Work: Bought a new laptop computer

Description of Work: My computer systems was bought at CTS in 2008, everything fine until recently, I was getting messages that IE was using up lots of memory, my computer was slow, links weren't working, etc. I brought it to CTS, explained my issues, they gave my computer more memory, it's much faster now and no more error messages.

I am a software professional, and this repair was beyond my ability. The computer had another large part (a CPU cooler) inside, blocking the power supply, and I did not know how to remove it. So I decided to use a professional. I brought in the computer and the necessary replacement part (because I had one) at 9:00am. They did the work and I picked up the computer at 5:00pm. Yes, turnaround on the same day. I am impressed. Update: The next day, another computer of mine died. CTS fixed it the SAME DAY, in at 12pm, out at 4pm, again for only $60 plus the cost of parts. I will definitely bring any future repairs to CTS!
Description of Work: My home computer had a defective power supply that needed to be replaced.

Overall, my experience with them has been great.
Description of Work: Last year, I brought my computer in to the store because it had frozen up and I was afraid I would lose all my documents and applications on there. They fixed it quickly and successfully, restored all my files and relieved me of my worries. That cost about $145. I also have bought computer supplies from them (a remote and a USB Hub) and their prices were reasonable (total of $90). Last month, Dan came to my home to fix my printer which was not working well. He came over right after I called and fixed it quickly and successfully again and charged me his hourly rate of $75. I would definitely use them again.

Redundant to above. My company used (uses) them exclusively for all their computer/ networking issues.
Description of Work: I worked at a small manufacturing company in Watertown from Oct 2007 thro May of 2010. CTS consistently provided fast, accurate repairs on all our computers, gave excellent advice on upgrades and problem solving, and carried a good selection of hardware to go along with their advice. Their prices might be a bit higher than the big box stores, but not by much, and the service is outstanding. If you are near Watertown/ Newton they are definitely worth a try. The store might sometimes be a wee bit confusing with children around, but the staff are dedicated, knowledgeable, respectful and fast.

We had an HP notebook PC that was completely dead. CTS Computer diagnostic charge is $30.00. They said it would take 1-2 days. Called on the second day and they had found and fixed the problem (BIOS reset) and offered to update the BIOS to the latest version. I had no problem communicating with them and they were prompt, courteous and quite inexpensive.
Description of Work: HP Notebook PC was completely dead. No BIOS display or boot.
