I was beginning to think I would never get the files from my old hard drive onto my laptop. This store did it and even had to install Word because my old files used Word. I am so very, very pleased with the work. I would definitely recommend this computer store to anyone who has computer troubles.

I felt I was in good hands to replace the hard drive in my 2-year-old HP desktop. Clearly explained the replacement options (I went with a solid state drive for about $150 above a conventional magnetic drive). They found the old drive was too badly damaged to be cloned to the new one, so contacted me about which files were most important to try to retrieve. They were eventually able to pull those off, though it took several days. Soon after getting the machine back, it began acting very strangely and would run most of the programs I had re-installed on it. They took it back, tested the drive, and determined (by process of elimination) that the problem likely was caused by the antivirus software I'd reinstalled. The Windows 7 OS had gotten compromised, so they did a clean install and again copied over my data files. Although the OS problem was definitely not their fault, and not directly related to the hard drive replacement, they were extremely gracious about taking it back in and then charged me nothing for the second stint in the shop. That was a very generous interpretation of their 30-day warranty policy; I neither expected nor asked for that but definitely appreciated it. Both stints in the shop took a little longer than they had expected but I completely understood given the nature of the problems.
Description of Work: Replaced failing hard drive & copied to it as many files as could be retrieved from the old one. Corrected subsequent unrelated problem with the operating system.

They were great. Very pleasant and the pricing seems fair. Each time I went it was a $99 flat fee for any work they needed to do with about half paid up front. Everyone there seems knowledgeable and friendly and I completely trust them with my computer (and in turn personal information since it is on the computer). I did a lengthy search for computer repair because I was worried about finding a place I could trust. If you're the same, then I'd say this is your place. I did give them a B in punctuality -- not because they have ever been late with my completed computer but because I would love it if they could move things along a little faster. Each time I've been there, they've had my computer for about a week. That seems to be the standard time frame as I believe they do a first-in-first-out type of process. Overall though, VERY happy with their work and the price and will go back if I need any future repairs.
Description of Work: I've been to Restore twice in the last three months or so with two different issue. The first was a problem with connecting to the internet that turned out to be a virus problem and the second involved repair of my broken dc charging jack.

Everything went seamlessly. I was willing to wait until Monday to get my machine back, but, since the solution was simple, the work was done in plenty of time. I appreciated the fact that I was not led to believe that there was some mysterious virus or other issue that created an unnecessary expense. This will be my go-to place for repairs and advice from now on.
Description of Work: My laptop was having trouble saving data to the D: drive (CD-Rom), leaving me unable to back up my accounting system. Sam took it in on Friday morning and had the work done later that day.

These guys are the best! My son's very expensive gaming laptop started freaking out so I called them took it in and was told it could be one of the video cards going bad which would be an expensive repair. Well when they called back and said everything was fine and all they could find wrong was that dog hair(from my golden) had slowed down the fan! 65 dollars later my son was back at WOW and having a ball!

My daughter was working on a huge school project when her laptop simply stopped taking a charge. Not only that, it wouldn't run on AC power either. Naturally, she hadn't saved all of the project to the Cloud or to portable media, so she was in a little trouble. We brought the unit in on March 14 , 2015 for evaluation. We were told in advance that they were backed up, and it could take a week rather than their usual couple of days. We asked them to transfer the data to another medium if they couldn't make the repair, and they agreed. I'm sure that there are exceptions to this, but the rate schedule looks mostly like this: $99 flat rate plus parts. They take $40 down when you drop off the unit. If they can't fix it, then that's all you pay. Otherwise you pay whatever balance remains when you pick it up again. Fast forward a week (21st) and I hadn't heard anything. Under ordinary circumstances that's not really a problem but the school project deadline is looming ever larger. I stopped in to see what the status of the job was. I was told that it was on the bench, and they'd do the best they could to finish by Monday. Since my daughter's project is due on Wednesday, that's not a big window for her to finish up. If we brought them some transfer media, however, they'd be happy to copy the files over and finish at a more leisurely pace. We agreed, and ran out to pick up a flash drive. Before we got to the store, however, Restore called us back and told me that, because of the school project, they were committing themselves to finishing the job that day, even if it meant staying late. Sure enough, I got a call about ten minutes after their official closing time letting me know that I could come get the repaired computer. Thanks so much! My daughter's grade is saved! I've already recommended this company to friends of mine.

Response from Restore Computer Repair
Hey (member name removed) - I'm sorry your iPad screen cracked again, I completely understand how frustrating that is. That is typically not something the manufacturer warranties however. But I remember you and I would really like to do whatever I can to help you. If you still have the iPad, bring it in and I will replace the screen at no cost as well as refund you completely for your troubles. Please don't hesitate to come in and allow me to make this right. I completely understand your frustration and I'm very sorry. Sam

Great!!! They were prompt, friendly, and very knowledgeable. They charge a flat labor rate of $99 for whatever they have to do. My PC now runs super fast and all the issues were resolved. They gave me a discount on purchasing some very reasonably priced anti-virus software. Even though it was just after Thanksgiving, the repair took only one day longer than their estimate. They also offer one-day service for an extra charge. I would absolutely use this company again and highly recommend them. They are a local business and have a great customer service orientation.
Description of Work: I could not get internet access on my PC even though others on the network could. My printer would also not recognize the PC. I tried replacing the NIC myself, and it still didn't work. Restore determined that my computer was infected with numerous viruses. They removed the viruses, re-installed Windows, and added virus protection software.

I brought my computer to restore computer repair. For a very reasonable and competitive fee they installed a new hard drive in my computer within 4 days. They could not have made it easier for me. They called when it was done and I came right in and picked up my computer. My only complaint is that when they reinstalled the operating system they changed my user name and password. This would not have been a problem except that they could not tell me what they had changed it to and it took me several days to get back into my computer.

They did a great job. I was prepared to give up on my computer and start shopping for a new one. Restore Computer Repair brought it back from the brink. They identified several viruses, removed them, installed new free virus protection software, and I have had no problems since they fixed it. It took them two weeks -- a bit longer than I expected -- but I can't complain since the computer is in great shape now! They were very friendly and professional.

The problems and solutions were clearly explained; my questions were patiently answered. Both computers were returned within a few days, in fine working order and along with suggestions on how to keep them operating that way. Pricing is very reasonable. Based upon my experience, I will go there again and would recommend them to others.
Description of Work: I have used the services of Restore Computer Repair on two occasions this year. The first involved a virus problem on a laptop and the second involved a bad sector on the hard drive of a pc. In both cases, Restore Computer quickly diagnosed the problems and corrected them.

When the laptop was opened the hinges would pry apart the computer because the brackets were missing. They recommended replacing the bottom of the computer with new brackets. Unfortunately (yet understandably) they didn't have the size of my computer in spare parts sitting around. They also said continuing to open it could sever the wires to the screen. The other part of my problem was that I needed the computer fixed that day. I had no time to wait for the part. I asked if there was any other way to fix it. He offered to place screws and bolts through it but that it wouldn't look pretty. I agreed and payed the rush fee. He had it ready before the agreed upon time and found brackets to help hold it together. It worked, was fast, and it still looked good! They were knowledgeable, professional and friendly a pleasure to do business with.

Finding a good computer tech is like finding an honest mechanic or plumber. Once you've found them you don't let them outta your sight. I've found mine.I'm a systems analyst with with over 15 years of experience with break/fix in the world of computers. The DC power connector to my laptop had gotten pulled up from the motherboard rendering my laptop unable to charge. I knew what the problem was but after checking the disassembly on this model I felt compelled to pay someone with more experience to handle it for me.I checked Angie's and found Restore. They had excellent ratings so I brought the laptop to them. I knew that some repair facilities would opt for the easy way out and up their profits by hitting me for a new motherboard but not Restore. Not only did Sam replace the connector he did the whole thing in three hours.This may not be typical, he had the appropriate connector on hand, but he fixed the problem, did it FAST and at a very reasonable price.If you need an honest place to get a PC or laptop worked on I can't recommend these fine folks highly enough.

I contacted the company the Sunday after Thanksgiving (the water spill happened on Saturday). Even though the company is not open on Sundays, I got a response email on Sunday a few hours after I sent my inquiry email. In that email, Sam at Restore gave me some basic information about steps to take immediately in advance of bringing the computer in to the shop. I brought the computer in the next day. The work took about a week as they took the computer apart more than once to try to fix it. I really appreciate their persistence. As a poor graduate student, I was worried that the computer would need a new (expensive) part or that it wouldn't be salvageable. Instead, Sam was able to fix it for just the $99 flat rate and no new parts were needed (another service I contacted for an estimate told me I'd probably need to replace the motherboard and that it would probably be better to just replace the computer). I am so grateful for their hard work to fix my laptop. It's working like new now. Thanks so much!

When Sam was going to be late for a home visit, his office called in advance to let me know and give me the option of rescheduling. Unlike other repair people, he didn't make excuses or denigrate AOL, just solved all the problems quickly and efficiently, and for a very reasonable price. What a great experience! In-office, they only charge $99 for labor, plus any material costs, which is much cheaper than most professionals. I had confidence that he really knew what he was doing, which is not always true in the unregulated computer business.
Description of Work: Sam diagnosed the probable problem with a Mac, connected my PC's to the router and the printer, and set up the fax for me. Also restored the graphics capability and dealt with an AOL problem.
