In November 2016 My 2013 MacBook Pro went down and wouldn't start-up. frantic I called 765 Tech and spoke with Ty the owner. I told him what the computer was doing and he said "hard Drive issue" told me to bring it in and they would replace it for 194.94.
Having paid the company and picked my computer up, I was shocked two days later the same issues were happening again. I then took my Mac to Apple DUH! Never take a mac to a windows store EVER!
I drove to their location 2946 N. Government way Coeur d'Alene, ID 83815 on February 22th, 2017 and spoke with an Eric who advised me, he was aware of the situation and that I would have to speak with Ty the owner of the company. Also, that it has been 5 months since the incident occurred and he (TY) probably wasn't going to do anything for me.
On February 23rd, 2017, I called at 11 am PST and Eric picked up of the phone. I requested Ty and when Ty picked the phone, and I gave him my name, he stated he couldn't hear me and hung up.
I called back a minute later on February 23rd, 2017 at 11:01 am PST - Ty answered the phone and again I explained who I was and he again stated: "he couldn't hear me". I stated "Eric could hear me just fine so I'm not sure why we are having any issue." and he then, could hear me. I explained "We did business back in Nov together, you replaced a hard drive for me which wasn't the issue my Mac Book Pro was having. I ended up taking it to the Apple store and they fixed the actual issue."
He said "Let me interrupt you right there when we did business back in Nov, we spoke on the phone, you advised me that the hard drive didn't fix the issue and I told you to come in and we would give you a full refund within 30 days. You jumped the gun and went to your bank, and caused all these issues on yourself, now we aren't going to help you."
Per the phone conversation back in Nov, I advised Ty that he "replaced a hard drive in my computer without any diagnostics and charged me 194.94 for an issue I never had."
At which point he advised me to "bring it in before 5 pm" PST. I told him at the time I was in college full-time Monday through Friday 8 am to 5:30 pm PST and requested that he or one of his team members stay late, for this process to be done. He said "no" they wouldn't be able to do that. At which point I advised him "I was going to dispute it with my bank". He again said, "no don't do that bring it in during business hours". Unable to make it into their office during their business hours, I called Bank of America and requested the dispute.
On February 23rd, 2017 during our phone interaction, I reminded him of that part of the conversation he proceeded to call me a "habitual liar" and told me "to take my business elsewhere" and hung up. I gave Ty at 765 Tech the ability to rectify the situation back in Nov 2016 and again on February 22nd and the 23rd of 2017. He was very rude and hung up on me. I paid for services with a company who claims to be "computer repair" but did no diagnostics on my Mac Book Pro what so ever, they simply replaced a part that I didn't need, claiming "Hard drive failure". This company 765 Tech didn't do the job I needed, paid for and what their company claims to do on their website "We believe in working extremely hard to improve how we serve our customers while providing solid technology products and solutions." They have cost me extra time, money, and hardship. Not to mention the irrevocable consequences to my credit file and score. I have written confirmation from a tech at Apple stating and I quote "Hard drive was replaced by a third party to resolve issues but the hard drive was not related to the issue."
