Great service and very prompt considering I live in WV and the business is in Minn. I knew Tom from his podcast and decided to give his business a try and got both laptops back and both are still working! Top notch in ever
Description of Work: Repaired two laptops, one with the screen destroyed and the other was shorted out due to a spill.

Dropped off MacBook Pro one afternoon and had it back the next day. The software had to be updated from Leoard to Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion to Mavericks. Also performed all other needed updates. Tom called to ask about adding the memory and to let me know when I could pick up the laptop. The work performed has extended the life of my Mac for a few more years. The price was fantastic for the work that was done. I will definitely use PC Central Services in the future
Description of Work: Cleaned, tuned up, and upgraded IOS to Mavericks. Added 2 GB of RAM memory and upgrade system memory to 4GB Cleaned interior and exterior. Performed permission and drive integrity tests

The service and value are excellent. The time that Tom at PC Central has to spend repairing the computer was considerable (initial evaluation, repair of various corrosion issues, locating appropriate mother board replacement on-line, installation of new mother board) but his charge ($149.99) remained the same. My total cost was $548.99 ($149.99 + $399 for mother board replacement), compared to the Apple Store's $1250. (The Apple Store may have been quicker but only because Apple would likely have had the mother board in stock). I was very pleased with the whole process.
Description of Work: My MacBook Pro laptop had been damaged by water and was non-functional. I first brought it to the Apple Store and they offered to repair it for $1250!! I explored alternatives and located PC Central Services on Angie's list. PC Central offered to repair the computer for $149.99 + cost of replacement parts if needed. Tom at PC Central examined and corrected various water-caused issues and but that the mother board unfortunately needed to be replaced. Tom located a reasonable cost mother board for me via eBay (I ordered and paid for the board) and he installed it as soon as it arrived in the mail. The computer now works "like new" - I am doing this review on the computer.

The desktop and server were dead in the water. I suspected PSUs, but I figured that they would have better access to parts than I did. Both the desktop and server were able to boot after Travis installed new PSUs. I had ATA, SATA, and SCSI disks in the desktop. Travis pulled out the SCSI card (it does delay boot time). I have not had time to put it back in to test it. The Sony monitor initially worked for a few hours, but then failed again (black screen). I brought it back in (much later, after a miscommunication in emails for scheduling). Travis said the parts were difficult to get. I ended up recycling it. The laptop is still running almost every day. However, the keyboard is for Icelandic users (I knew that when I bought it). Luckily, I use it for applications that usually need only mousing. I had a hard time time finding information for the LG on the net, LG seemed to have pulled out of the laptop market -- but that is a caveat emptor issue for / on me. Small, two-man shop. You deal directly with them. I like that. Tom seems to do intake, negotiation and billing; Travis did my technical work. The work was done in their shop (it's easier to say my address rather than fill out the address of their place -- heads up, Angies, another choice wouldn't hurt, would it? -- something like t heir site, their shop, etc.) I would use them again (although I have moved out of the geographical area). I would also want to know if some additional surgery was required (like the SCSI card). Apologies for the tardy review.
Description of Work: Fixed commercial quality desktop (IBM Intellistation), commercial server (IBM Netfinity), consumer Sony Monitor. Added memory to the desktop. I also purchased a used LG laptop from them in the same time frame.

Working with these guys was a really good experience. I'm not techno-savy and wasn't sure what I needed, but they did! I prefer giving my money to local businesses instead of big box competitors, and these guys didn't say I'd have to buy a 1 yr service contract for $200 just to do a simple installation. Their prices are listed on a dry erase board above the register, and I appreciated the visibility. They got it done within 1 day and I couldn't be happier. Keep in mind, though, they are CASH ONLY. I gave them a B for Professionlism because their storefront was pretty hot and somewhat dirty. However, if this is how they keep their prices affordable, then I'm all for it! I'll definitaly go to these guys again when my computer needs service.
Description of Work: Wiped hard drive and reinstalled Win 7 Starter.

I was very happy with the work done. PC Central Services was able to diagnose the issue right away and I had my laptop back in only one day. They called immediately when the work was done to pick up my computer. They also installed necessary updates and cleaned up my computer so it is now running much more quickly without issues. The cost was exactly what was quoted when I dropped my laptop off for repair. One downside is that they only accepted cash payments but overall they were fast and did good work so I would recommend them.
Description of Work: I had been having a lot of difficulty with my laptop computer shutting off without notice and not staying on for very long. The computer seemed to be overheating as well and had a lot of trouble restarting once it turned back on. I found PC Central Services on Angie's List and they diagnosed and repaired the issue, installed new computer updates to improve efficiency and installed a new fan.

I took it in in the afternoon and was able to pick it up within 24 hours. I was completely satisfied.
Description of Work: My computer which I assembled at home from new parts would not boot up. PC Central Services was able to get it to boot up by the next day.

Another computer repair shop wanted more than twice as much to do the same thing. Tom and his partner Travis saw my husband right away after he called them and drove to the shop. They were very friendly and helpful. The computer was ready the next day! We were very impressed with their website, as it includes a very specific price list for different types of repairs. The repair ended up costing exactly what was listed and what my husband was told at the shop. If you need a computer repair, check them out! (PC Central Services has merged with No Nonsense Computer Repair, so this report will appear under both companies.)
Description of Work: They repaired a power jack for a pc laptop.
