Happy I found Canton Computers! I plan to return next week to have the new battery installed, and I'll be bringing my desktop CPU to have RAM upgraded in that unit. What a gem these guys are. Very knowledgeable, accommodating, professional, and very fairly priced. Cost of service includes 1 battery and a total of 16 GB RAM, installed.
Description of Work: Had 2 laptops that needed additional RAM (one laptop had only 2 GB and the other only 4). Recently moved to this area and didn't know who to go to. Found them on Angie's List and walked into their Canton shop with both laptops under my arm. I was greeted by Roy, store manager, who cheerfully took care of the issues and installed the RAM in both laptops right in front of me on the counter. He tried different manufacturers and different sizes to get just the right combination that would work in my finicky Dell laptops. I also ordered a new battery for one of the laptops.

Description of Work: Canton Computers replaced my laptop's battery. The entire bottom of the laptop needed to be removed to access the battery and they found out that the battery I had was no longer available. So, they contacted the company and found the replacement battery. The price was high, but that seems to be typical for that type battery.

The employee at Canton-Computers was very responsive to the issue. For starters, they were open from 12pm-4pm on Sunday! I took my CPU into the store. Immediately the employee hooked it up to a monitor and began diagnosing the issue. Within a matter of minutes he diagnosed the issue as being a bad graphics card. The whole process from the time I walked into the store to the time I walked out was less than 30 minutes!! I would definitely go back to Canton-Computers if I ever had another computer problem!
Description of Work: Computer would not boot up. Wasn't sure if a hard drive had crashed or what the issue was?

I called yesterday afternoon and they had someone here at 5pm. I was impressed! After two hours, the tech declared my printer fixed. Later, when I tried to print, it wasn't working. I called this morning and the manager said the tech would come back (for free!) and see what was going on. He was here within an hour, which impressed me once again. Instead of using wireless, he hardwired it and all is good now!!! I would recommend this company!!! They are courteous, prompt and professional. =)
Description of Work: My wireless printer was not communicating with my computer. The tech came to fix that.

Description of Work: We had a problem with windows 8 and needed to do a reinstall. We brought the computer in to them so that they could back up the files on the hard drive which they did without a problem. However, in the process they broke the cover where the hard drive is accessed. They temporarily "fixed" it by using hot glue to keep it on and were going to order us a new cover and get back to us. We never heard from them again.

Response from Canton Computers Inc
Hello [Member name removed], We apologize for the error and lack of communication. I recently saw this review and spoke to our manager at the Canton Location. He seemed to think everything was taken care of already on our end. Since he and I spoke, we have been in contact with your wife and have the part on order. Once the product is in stock, our Canton Manager will call ASAP to get this installed. We apologize for the inconvenience we have caused you. I know I would be upset if I were in your situation. This matter should be remedied sooner than later. Our commitment to our clients and their products they bring us remains the highest concern for us. Thank you for taking the time to post a review of Canton Computer.

The repair was fine, they took everything off of the computer that they could because they had said it was just gone. They said if I could bring in a hard drive or a CD disk or whatever they could take off whatever they could and save it for me before I got rid of the computer, which they did, which was very nice. I think the price was reasonable. I was happy with them and the service but I was a little put out when I was in the shop; both men would take calls. One man was waiting on me and he would pick up the phone and take the call and he would start ignoring me. I think if I am in the shop, the first priority should be me especially if he had already started with me and he ought to tell the person on the phone that he has a customer that was ahead of them, that he will get to them as soon as he can. But he didn't. The phone people seemed to be his priority over the people in the store and that's not how I would do it. I work in a library and I was told that you should take preference over people that are in front of you over who called on the phone, you put them on a nice hold and then you go ahead with what is in front of you. It was just a little irritating. It was the same amount that they had told me it would be. One thing, I think they said to me was that the hard drive is gone or whatever, the computer is shocked, and he said, "I could run a diagnosis on it but it would cost you" and then he said, "I don't really think I need to run a diagnosis, I think I can tell you right now that the computer is shocked". So I took his word for it and he didn't do the diagnosis as that would have cost me extra. They called me when it was ready and it was pretty much close to when they said it would be ready. I might mention to them how I thought about that next time. I would use them because I don't know any where else I could go.
Description of Work: My computer wouldn't start up, I took it to them, and they said it was shocked. So I had them transfer and save the data for me.

Hello [member name removed], I apologize for the issues with the phone call. While customers in our store fronts are certainly first order of business, we do need to make sure all phone calls are answered and handled in a timely manner as well. I agree, you should NOT have felt like you are being ignored. I will consult my staff about this and I certainly apologize. For your troubles, I would like to offer you half off any in-store or on-site service on your next visit. Simply print this page from AngiesList and our staff will honor the pricing. Again, I sincerely apologize for any issues we may have caused.

They spent quite a bit of time and seemed to get everything working. We took our computer back to them because we were still having some more issues. They cleaned the hard drive and they are really nice. They never charged us more than the initial cost. Everything has since been great. We were happy with them and we would refer them. They are really good about getting back with us and answering the phone. The guys on the road were all good.
Description of Work: We were having trouble with some speed issues and our WiFi connection. We have an HP desktop computer.

Response from Canton Computers Inc
[member name removed], I am sorry you feel this way regarding a store policy and I would like to see what we can do about potentially bypassing policy to make sure you are happy. I attempted to find an invoice from you at all three of our locations, but the latest invoice I have from you is in 2009. Can you please elaborate on the issue so we can attempt to resolve this? An Invoice number would be most helpful, or you can call me at our Livonia location (734-838-9700 - ask for Dave). As for restocking fee's, we generally don't do restocking fee's on most of our items, however; sometimes it is unavoidable such as a ripped or torn box, missing items such as an i/o shield for a motherboard, or drivers disc for a video card. I am always willing to refund the fee if a missing item is returned at a later date. Again, please give me a call or reply to this so I can make sure this is resolved quickly. Thank you. Dave

They are outstanding. We are older and there are things that we can't fix on the computer. Basically, the machine was shutting down because I didn't have any storage space left. They just tweaked a few things for me, he added Java which we didn't have. They cleaned it out. These guys are great. We were very impressed. My husband walked in, they weren't busy, they just did it right then and he walked out.

The work was done professionally and I am completely satisfied with the service provided by Canton Computers, Livonia.
Description of Work: My laptop had multiple problems - slow response time, exiting windows and/or the internet unexpectedly, blue screens etc. Canton Computers did a complete diagnostic check of the entire PC and it was determined that one of the two memory cards was faulty. The memory card was replaced and the PC is now functioning appropriately. Canton Computers kept me informed about what they found and what the solution was. I was very pleased with their responsiveness and courtesy. The staff was very professional.

The store had several service representatives present and we were given immediate attention. Several of the techs conferred and agreed that we most likely had a serious infection which might end up requiring a complete cleaning and reprogramming of the hard drive, but it was agreed that before they did such a drastic measure they would call us to explain and get our approval. We also decided to have our antivirus program changed and a some other small adjustments made. The original estimate was $108 but with the saving of files for the hard drive, change in anti virus programs and the other minor software changes it ended up in the neighborhood of $150.00 It took from Tuesday to Friday to get the computer back and it's worked fine since. We would definately use them in the future.
Description of Work: Our computer was slowing down and malfunctioning in a number of ways. Took it in to Canton Computers-Livonia which is a fairly new facility in Livonia related to Canton Computers of Canton MI and Redford MI. They diagnosed a serious malware infection, saved a lot of files in order to reformat the hard drive, replaced our present antivirus program with Norton, and did several minor software changes at our request.
