They did excellent work for me. I thought the price was quite reasonable. I would have had to pay a lot more from one of the big manufactures. Every time I called, they were happy to give me an update. Very professional.

The fact that I'm now on the internet typing this review gives a clue as to the accuracy of his advice. While I seldom have computer problems, That Computer Store is where I go when things go awry. They are unfailingly attentive, professional, and more importantly, they know how to talk to those of us who are tech-challenged.
Description of Work: My laptop suddenly refused to access the internet. Tried home remedies, nothing worked, so I took the machine to That Computer Store. Technician Will opened it up and, as you might expect, pronounced that it was working fine. He then gave me instructions for something else to try at home.

Service was great. They checked my computer and could not find the root cause of the problem but we're able to fix it and even cleaned it which made it much faster. They even gave me tips or Antivirus use and on purchasing a new laptop should I need to in the future. I went in for service after 12 noon and my computer was ready by 9p. They also had me to check everything prior to leaving to check for any issues.
Description of Work: I am anot online Graduate School student. While working on my final research paper for school my computer crashed. I was unable to do anything to it. I called this company and they said come on in but let me know own that there were no guarantees that thye could work on it that day. I researched the company before going and found out that they are opened to midnight. This was on a Sunday. How impressive!! Went in and described the problem. Explained my situation and need for immediate service. This was the last day of the class.

The phone is working fine. The gurus at That Computer Store suggested that we go back to Verizon and get the phone wiped and everything re-installed, just to be on the safe side.
Description of Work: The email screen on my wife's iphone wouldn't display any emails, just showed a blank screen. We'd gone online and looked for suggestions. Nothing worked. We went to the Verizon store with similar results. Then we went to That Computer Store. Two guys poked, prodded, and mumbled magic incantations. Within three minutes the email screen was restored. The best part: no charge. These folks are top-notch!

This is not my first experience with That Computer Store. I continue to go back because the staff diagnosis the problem , gives a fair price on the parts and a fair price on the labor! They are always very professional and stay in touch and always deliver when they say they will. That Computer store is the reason I buy any product I want /need. I have confidence that can fix/repair any product AND if they can't they will tell you upfront.
Description of Work: I dropped my Mac and damaged the screen. They found the problem behind the screen ordered the part and replaced in very timely maner.

As usual, the personnel at That Computer Store quickly and efficiently diagnosed and corrected my problem. I work at home and remotely....job in DC....and when I moved to the area I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to find a reliable source of assistance for my two computers. Fortunately I was referred to this group of experts who have kept me up and running and done it with an abundance of patience for someone whose expertise is not computers! They have removed a virus that I accidentally downloaded (and have taught me how NOT to do it again), and have occasionally worked on my system using remote access software which saves me a trip. When my old laptop finally died, they recommended what turned out to be the perfect replacement. One more thing: the people who work at That Computer Store are wonderfully patient and friendly and go the extra mile to find the problem and fix it, and their fees are extremely reasonable. I wouldn't allow anyone else to work on my system.
Description of Work: Worked with 2 month old laptop to correct a few programming issues I was unable to correct myself. Also recently set up a new computer, including re-installing custom software.

They claimed that they had nothing to do with it. I am like, it worked before I brought it in. They put a hard drive in there, gave my computer back and then all of a sudden the DVD drive doesn't work. And I came back to them and I said, it worked before I brought it to you and now it doesn't. They swore up and down that they had nothing to do with it. They absolutely refused to repair it or do anything or even compromise. They were just like, if you want to resubmit it and us fix it and they told me how much it will be...pretty outrageous. I am like it was working when I brought it in, when I took it back, the first time I tried to use it, it didn't work. They swore up and down it wasn't their fault. Anyway, I was very disappointed with That Computer Store. It was pretty expensive, maybe $350.
Description of Work: I did have them do some work and they actually returned my computer back to me damaged.

Mr. [Member Name Removed], I am so sorry you have had a bad experience! We pride ourselves on our customer service, and take complaints very seriously. Unfortunately, our records don't quite match your experience. According to our notes you came in on August 9th, 2013 with a Mac all in one. We diagnosed a failing hard drive, and most likely a failing main board. You opted for a new hard drive ( against our recommendation) at a cost of $138.00 parts and labor, and declined an operating system install. I have a record of you returning after that, where we offered to replace the part at cost, with no labor charge. After ordering the part, I have a note that your daughter picked up the computer, refusing further repair. We were left with the replacement part that we ordered on your behalf. Under the circumstances, I don't feel your review of us is fair, and hope you see fit to change it. We pride ourselves on our customer service, and we know how frustrating a cascading system failure can be, especially on an expensive computer. We'd be happy to help you in the future if you need, and wish you all the best.

When I took my computer in, it was just for general maintenance. Remove the garbage files and make it go faster. It took a week to have my computer returned! It seems that a separate person is assigned a specific task, then it's passed on to the next person until the computer is repaired. If one person had handled my computer it would have taken, at most, several hours to repair. Because one of the techs was out sick, the computer had to sit at that station until they returned. Couldn't get sent to the next station! Not the most efficient way to handle things.

Response from That Computer Store
Mrs. [Member Name Removed], I'm sorry you have a mediocre experience when you brought your machine in for a tune-up. We pride ourselves on being fast and friendly, but indeed sometimes machines require extra effort or attention. The above described is not quite how our process works, as we try to have a single team member work on a machine, unless additional help or expertise is needed. I apologize for the mitigating circumstances. I've look into this particular ticket, and indeed it seems as if a perfect storm of the weekend, team members being out, and timing conspiring to make your call take longer than most. We'd love to see you again if you have any issues in the future, and we'll do our best to take care of you quickly and affordably. Warmest wishes in the new year! Stephen, with the That Computer Store Team

After a bumpy beginning with one of the techs at the counter when I stopped in to pick up my computer, Ben Bardin took over and was extremely helpful and solicitous. He showed me everything that was finished and gave me a quick "how to use" on Windows 8.

Dear Moores, Thank you so much for the kind words, especially about Ben. I'll pass this along, and i'm sure he'll appreciate it. Would you be so kind as to send me a private message so we can chat about the bumpy start? I'd like to coach any team members that you may have had a negative experience with. It may have just been a bad day (we all have them), but we pride ourselves on our customer service, and I want to make sure each and every team member gives the best service possible! Best wishes!

Received a call from the store the next day that a more comprehensive $100 virus removal would be required. I made several calls to check on the status and they were having trouble getting a replacement fan. Eventually, I was told the PC was ready, but the fan would not be replaced. (I was told it wasn't really critical anyway). Also, I would have to pick it up at their new second store located inside a large regional mall. When I went to the mall to pick up the PC I had to carry the computer out of the mall to my car which was relatively far away. In the confusion, I forgot to use the $50 coupon. When I got the PC home, I realized that the PC was not fixed. I was still getting the "Not Reponding" message and the fan still didn't work. So, after all the time and expense I was back where I started.
Description of Work: Initially, provider was to replace the PCs fan that had stopped working and tune-up PC ($50) to improve performance (I was repeatedly getting a "Not Responding" message on my computer). I planned to use the $50 service coupon from Angies LIst that I had purchased for $28.

I am a teacher and work with Special Education Hospital/Homebound students. I travel all over our county and needed a very small, compact computer to take with me to students' homes. That Computer Store built a tiny computer for me that fits in my satchel. It has been running great for years. In May I started having issues with the computer. I called That Computer Store and asked them what to do. They said bring the computer in and we'll take a look. They had my computer for one day and then called me to pick it up. They worked on updating my software as well as getting rid of some bugs and viruses. Now my computer runs like a dream machine. I could not do my job efficiently without my little computer. I absolutely love That Computer Store.
Description of Work: My computer was having issues with connectivity and speed. It was running so slow that I could not get my work done in a timely manner. I also had issues with ads and pop-ups constantly interrupting my work. It was extremely frustrating!!
