Went very smoothly and well. Handled smoothly, courteously, and on time as predicted. This met the challenge of moving files from Windows XP to Windows 7 operating system, which can be challenging and time-consuming. That saved me a lot of time and uncertainty, for a reasonable price. Well done, and a big relief.
Description of Work: Migrated data form one computer to another.

Description of Work: Will and the other technicians were not only very proficient and successfully fix all of the issues I was having with my laptop, their customer service is outstanding. They quoted a price and timeline. The quote was what I paid and they returned my laptop to me ahead of schedule. I highly recommend this company

It was really well. It was a reasonable price for what they did. I'm not young, they were not in the least bit condescending to me because I'm not computer savvy particularly, you know what I mean? They were very courteous and professional and they did not make me feel like I'm a dumb old lady. It was very good. I would use them again in a heartbeat. I thought it was a fair price for the service and the goods that we got. They have also good follow up. They are very responsive. They did pretty well all around, I thought.
Description of Work: We bought some equipment from them and had some service. We bought a new CPU from them and they installed it and they did some work on our Smart TV.

I went to this place since I prefer to support smaller local business whenever possible, but I got stung. In the first place they are very Christian, but at the same time extreme gun advocates advertising both beliefs in their store, so I should have seen the red flag pop up but I went ahead anyway.... What these people do is: 1.) Fail to tell me that the dead battery was not replaced, as part of the deal. 2.) Sell me a $40. desk- top router, knowing full well that I could do without it by getting a different cable router from Comcast. 3.) Not giving me a refund for the desk-top router since they had a small sign plus small print on the receipt saying all sales are final. 4.) Putting dates on the receipts a year early so as to not have to honor, a 90 day warranty. and finally 5.) Charging twice the price for such services at other stores, such as Wall Mart, Best Buy, Costco, Ebay, or Amazon.
Description of Work: Sold me a refurbished laptop computer plus a desktop wireless router.

Response from Second Time Around Computers
[member name removed], It's a shame that you chose to lash out on Angies List like you did. I don't understand how people can defame someone so flippantly when they know that every statement is a blatant lie and the fabrications are outlandish to say the least. Did you know that we have all this on security tape? Neil, I was there, and I know none of this is true and I have reserved digital proof. I will be forwarding this tape, and every conversation to our lawyers for consideration of a defamation judgment. It is a shame that someone can completely fabricate stories like that, when we treated you fairly every time, even though you didn't understand what you were doing, and we explained everything with complete concise information. This is what makes us so popular. 1. We don't advertise guns. (We were part of a charity once that had a family fun shoot teaching gun safety) Where did you come up with this? 2. Complete lie on the receipt dating (That's ridiculous and illegal and you know it) 3. You told us you had Comcast change your router after your purchase of ours and we explained it VERY clearly. Did you know that Comcast is charging you 7-10 dollars per month for the wireless router addition, which made ours a cheaper option? You were not honest with us from the start of that, and we were. We told you you needed a wireless router, so you pay 40.00 for ours, or you can pay Comcast monthly. A much cheaper option. 4. Twice the price?? Really? Tell me how. 5. What are you talking about a dead battery? We honor all warranties and you can ask the 7000 clients we have that when there is an issue, we bend over backwards to make it right. Its why people shop with us. If you have a dead battery, let us know and we will change it, or did we already? We love to guide and bless people who may have issues when we are given a chance, Unfortunately you chose every time to threaten and disrespect when every time you just didn't understand your needs. Every time you come in you have been unkind, and irrational with everyone you dealt with, when in EVERY case, you just didn't understand. What a shame. Your cursing and threatening to employees every time you come certainly doesn't lend itself to a good relationship. I pray that your unfortunate decision to be less than honest and vindictive in your responses will be reconsidered. Robert Pratt President Second Time Around Computers

We have taken computer issues to them multiple times and have always received prompt, courteous service and reasonable prices. We bought a refurbished computer from them and when, several months later, there was an issue, they fixed it at no charge. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: This last time, they brought crashed computer back to life; installed new hard drive; transferred data.
