I first called on Monday morning at 8:35 am. They open at 8:30am. No answer so I left a voice mail. I never got a response back from the voice mail and waited until 1030 am. I am a stock trader and need the computer for my business. They dont appear business friendly if 1. they are not open at their opening time or 2. They dont return their voicemail's in a timely manner. I later did call around 10.30 am and they said they were in. When one is running a business time is very important. The only reason I went there was because it was close. I explained that I had problems on startup. The tech recommended that I reload Vista and that a check of the computer was warranted. He did not think he would be able to get it started up and said I likely had a corrupted file. I agreed and had them do a check and install of Vista. I am not real computer savvy so perhaps my original software could have been saved, I dont know. The tech said it would take two days to do this. Well thats what it took. Other companies I have used it takes a day at most for this type of service. The other odd thing is other companies I have used offer to install an anti virus software. For what ever reason they dont offer this service. I asked about a warranty on their work and the tech said no more than 2 days because it was software related. The shop was neat and orderly, no problems there. I was not really impressed overall, thought I paid to much, and the repair options,response could have been quicker.
Description of Work: Needed to reload Vista and had problems with startup

Response from DANTE COMPUTER REVOLUTION
Member, Let me correct you on a couple of things. First we open at 10:00am not 8:30am - it's on the front door and it's also on the voice recording when you call. 2nd 60% of my business is business to business related and we are VERY business friendly we help all types of businesses. You left a voice mail and before I could get back to you you had already called again so I did not think there was a reason to get back to you. As far as I know turning around a OS reload and a full hardware service in 48 hours is not bad. We do offer same day service but it would move you infront of all other systems that we have in the cue and would cost you a little more - as far as I know you did not want that option! As far as paying to much I would have to disagree we spent about 4 to 5 hours on each system, doing hardware and software diagnostics - even though you did not pay us and did not want a hardware diagnostics we did it anyway to make sure there where no underlying issues other than a corrupt operating system - we tried to repare the operating system but it did not work. As far as installing Anti virus on the system we do not install free software on systems unless otherwise told to do so by the customer. As a business we sell antivirus. I was the actual tech that brought you into the system and actually did the windows install on your system. We try to get as much information as possible from the customer on what is wrong with the system, but 85% of the time there is NO way to tell what is wrong with the system until we do a diagnostic on the system - a corrupt system could be caused by hardware, viruses, bad downloads and a host of other things so we try the best we can to find out what was going on with the system when the problem happened. We understand that most people are not techs and just want the problem fixed, but we do not have a magic wand that makes the problem go away in a matter of seconds - our normal turnaround for service is 48 to 72 hours - we try as hard as we can to get it out faster but it really depends on how many are in front of you and what other issues we disover in the process of running our diagnostics, we try to keep the customer informed of anything that happens that may cause a extention on the 48 hours. Our warranties are based on the service provided - a reload without antivirus is usually 7 days because we cannot account for the customer bringing the system home and gettting on the internet without protection - we have had systems come back a day later filled with viruses because the customer refused antivirus - I cannot be responsible for that, we have also had customer take all there data off of an external hard drive that was corrupted with viruses and put the data on a clean machine, I cannot be responsible for that, there are some things that the customer needs to take resonsibility. I am sorry that you feel that we are only worth a C or D but the reality is that we are very business friendly and we go above and beyound what most companies do to help our customers!

I thought they were very knowledgeable and the price was adequate.
Description of Work: We took our computer to them for repair, but they recommended us to just get a new computer, which we purchased from them.

I was in the market for a used lap top for home use and simple applications. Paid over $700.00 for the computer, to have it inspected, tested and ready for wireless use. Computer worked well for about 3 weeks with very minimal use. One day the computer worked well, the next day I booted and "Nothing". The hard drive suddenly failed. I had to pay another $200 to have the hard drive replaced. Got the computer back and several applications no longer worked, was unable to burn data to a disk. When I called the company they sounded put out and didn't feel they should have to do any work without me paying more money. That my warranty was only for 30 days and only good from the time I ordered the computer, not when I picked it up which was a week later. Almost $1000 later I have a computer that works sometimes. Very disappointed.
Description of Work: Bought a used lap top, repairs after 3 weeks.
