Ali is the real deal, he helped me out as soon as he could! I thought my PC was done for after I did some major upgrades to it. I spent an entire day trying to fix it and it was still not working. Ali got it back up and running in a few of hours! Do not hesitate to let him fix your PC. From now on he's going to be my go to person for any computer help! read more

Once again Ali got my laptop back up and running when I had just about given up! He agreed to work on my sick computer even though he had other jobs, and I'm grateful for his flexibility, expertise, and resources. South Austin computers are in good hands when Ali is working on them. Thanks Ali. read more

Ali was great. He responds timely and gives a quick turn around. I will definitely be saving his number for any future computer issues. Great value. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Ali at Ali Computer Repair. He's not just a repair tech -- he's a genuine lifesaver. I came in with a Dell laptop that was overheating, lagging, and throwing out error codes like it was trying to speak in Morse. I was worried the thing was about to die on me for good. Ali diagnosed the problem fast -- it was a shot CPU fan and clogged vents (which, yikes, were definitely long overdue for a cleaning). Not only did he replace the fan and apply new thermal paste to both the CPU and GPU, but he did it all SUPER AFFORDABLE! On top of that, he helped me figure out how to upgrade my RAM to 64GB (perfect for music production, video streaming, and running The Sims 4 with all expansions at full settings -- priorities, right?). He even found me the right stick online and walked me through it all step by step. What I loved most is that he's patient, fast, trustworthy, and incredibly knowledgeable. He explained everything in a way I could actually understand without making me feel dumb. He was available when I needed, kept in touch with updates, and never tried to upsell anything I didn't need. If you're in South Austin and need computer work done -- whether it's a fan issue, memory upgrade, deep clean, or just someone who can really get your system running smooth -- go to Ali. I'll definitely be back for my next upgrade or fix. Thanks again, Ali! You seriously saved my tech life. read more

Knowledgeable and fast service. Reasonable service price and Ali offers suggestions and practical options.

I have had Ali setup up new hard drive, iron out a few problems, and change a few things around. Always showed up when he said, finished requests rapidly, and performed quality work. He is very knowledgeable about computer systems and rather fast at what he knows. Our new computer is extremely fast for us and everything is working well. I would call on Ali any time I need help, he is awesome!!! Thank you Ali, Edward & Connie read more

I had another problem with my computer. I called Ali and he walked me through the repair in 5 minutes. I offered to pay him but he declined. This guy is great. read more

Super efficient, knowledgeable, and ethical. He was also very flexible on getting the appointment scheduled.

I needed service on a computer for my elderly father and Ali was super easy to work with. He's very responsive and efficient. And very inexpensive for his skill set. Highly recommend. read more

He replaced my laptop's motherboard and did a great job! He was very reasonable with the price and was FAST. Will definitely use him again when I have tech issues. He also was near my neighborhood and picked up my laptop! Talk about going above and beyond. read more

Very communicative and quick. My laptop was a lemon, but Ali was open, honest and so helpful. I would use him again.

Ali did a great job of diagnosing the issue and giving us a solution. We appreciated that he took time to explain in layman's terms and that the cost was fair. Would surely recommend. read more

This is the second time I've used Ali, and coincidentally, for the same issue. No fault of his. Just me thinking I'm a computer genius. I screwed something up trying to update my MacBook and managed to wipe my entire computer. I couldn't figure out how to fix it. I asked for him to fix the drive, and upgrade anything as necessary. He thoroughly explained what he was going to look at and provided a solution to fix the issues. And he maintains communication throughout the process, including informing me of cost changes as they arise. Delivering and picking up my MacBook was done with ease. I will use him for all my computer needs. He's affordable and fast, and I would recommend anyone else does as well. read more

My gaming laptop was encountering blue screens with various errors. When I took it to him, it was a short drive but it was left on although I turned it off before I left. It was hot when it was bought in so there is a chance it was a brick when he received it. He worked on it and the initial text I got said the he reinstalled the graphics drive and he wasn't encountering anymore errors. When I was going to pick the laptop up, he said he experienced a blue screen crash so he needed to look into it. I picked it up later and he told me I needed to reinstall Windows but the laptop was in worse shape since it wouldn't even let me turn it on now without receiving a blue screen. He told me it could also be a hard drive or ram Issue. I got charged $20 for this. I can't blame him for not being able to fix an unrepairable laptop. What I can blame him for is incorrectly diagnosing the problem and not being aware gaming laptops should be handled differently than normal laptops. I took it to someone in Dallas. They called me the same day and told me the graphics card had overheated so much, there was a scar on it. Ironic because the laptop is called an ROG Strix Scar. They also told me the person who previously worked on it added thermals to liquid metal cooling which he couldn't understand. Like I said, my issue isn't the fact the laptop no longer works. It is the fact he couldn't identify the issue with a Scar on the graphics card and he added thermals to liquid metal cooling. Also, the RAM and the Hard drive were fine. If he is not familiar with gaming laptops, it should have been stated and I could have took it somewhere else. I can't say for sure he is the reason my laptop no longer works but I can say his attempts to fix it without knowledge on gaming laptops shouldn't have been made either. read more

Returned my laptop with damage. When approached he lost his tempter. He couldn't fix the problem but that's ok it was sorted out. In happy about the aggressive nature when confronted about the damage. I work on computer, build them, program, tinker and I just thought giving to him would be a nice break. Unfortunately his reviews lead me to now know it's mostly screens and troubleshooting. But regardless of the skill level. He dropped of my computer by pulling up to my home hold my laptop out the car door and showing me a tool he used that left the hole in the computer. He admired it but didn't exactly get a new back plate. He just has a bad attitude unless your praising him for a normal troubleshooting issue. Oh and I have to make a jab but he told me he couldn't find the hard drive. It was an nvme low profile. Trust him with screens and your printers but not complex issues he doesn't have the training. He calls google a first had resource. I'd say a skilll set in troubleshooting followed by google would be good but what do I know. I just build the computers, tablets, and refurb the things he claims to fix. read more

Thank you again for your time and expertise in replacing my Mac book broken screen. Great work and affordable all in one place. Definitely recommend Ali for his ethics and quality. read more

One of the hinges broke on my laptop and there are not a lot of places in Austin that will fix that. Ali was able to fix it quickly and at a great price. I would use him again. read more

External hard drive corrupted. Disk tools at home didn't solve data access problem. Ali responded within 5 minutes of my Yelp request. I dropped it off that afternoon (on a weekend). After some overnight magic and I picked it up the next day. Price was fair. Great service. Nice person. Happy with the outcome. I know who I'll call for help next time! read more

I have replaced a screen for my Mac and wanted to recommend Ali as reliable expert who was able to deliver a really great service experience! read more

Ali was available immediately, which was a great convenience. He arrived on time, got my printer sorted out. I had a new printer and couldn't get it to talk to my MacBook. Usually I do these things myself but after weeks, I was getting nowhere. Ali came in and in 30 minutes it was all sorted. Next time there's a problem, Ali is the guy I will call. Observed all properCOVID protocols. read more

Ali was amazing! I called several other places for assistance and Ali was the only one who was able to help. I really appreciate him and his vast knowledge. read more

Good work ethic, fair prices. Got me PC repaired/updated. So far working great. Would recommend as alternative to big box stores. read more

So far I've been very impressed with Ali's helpfulness and fast response time. I'm going to turn over two projects to him shortly.

Ali is helpful and honest. I called to describe my problem on my MacBook and he did some quick research to see that there had been a recall on the display and directed me to Apple Repair, who confirmed my issue was a bad screen/backlighting issue that was covered as part of a recall/warranty. $500 repair at $0 cost to me and no business for Ali, unfortunately. It's great to have honest repair people you can trust and who are genuinely helpful. Thanks, Ali! I'll come back to you for future repairs I need! read more

I am completely dazzled with Ali. I always meet the BEST people, and Ali was a complete badass. Loved how fast and how well he got everything fixed. I had a battery that needed replacing on my laptop. I needed it replaced quickly. Ali quickly got a new battery, fixed some other issues with the computer, cleaned it all up, and sent me on my way home. Nice! I know exactly who I'm going to call when I need help. You'd be wise to call him too if you need him. read more

Ali Computer Repair is the best! I took my computer and Ali was able to diagnose it in minutes. He is considerate, professional, and really knows what he's doing. read more

This guy kept putting me off as to the time he could meet with me to look at my computer, even changing an appt. we had 2 times. By the 2nd time, I was frustrated and explained to him that he needed to keep his word as no one looking for computer repair is going to hassle with someone who keeps putting them off, no matter how great their expertise may be. read more

Ali really saved me, I do contract computer work and my computer fan died, he was able to get me fixed up extremely quickly. Fair price, extremely quick turn around, COVID safe, would absolutely do business with him again. Thank you so much! read more

Excellent Service!! Do not go anywhere else! Ali is extremely professional, careful, and thoughtful in his approach to resolving issues. A very knowledgable guy and incredibly nice which is a plus. I went to UBreakIFix and they had no clue what to do. I called Ali to consult him, and he was very thoughtful in the approach and extremely reasonable in price. I had a somewhat challenging PC issue and he tried a few different things and ultimately resolved my issue very quickly and carefully and UBreakIFix was stumped. I'll be taking all my PCs/tech issues to him and highly recommend !! Ali's the best! read more

Needed MacBook Pro speakers replaced. Good prompt communication. Good value. Got the job done. I would recommend Ali.

Ive had trouble with my newly built computer twice and both times Ali tried help me fix it over the phone. When that didn't work I brought it to him and he quickly found the problem and fixed it. He's very friendly and reasonable with his price I would highly recommend him. read more

I spoke to Ali on the phone today and he was super helpful and patient. He walked me through different diagnostic steps to resolve the issue and it worked!! I am so thankful I found him! I will be keeping him on my speed dial for any and all my computer needs! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALI! Tens ACROSS THE BOARD!!! Thank you Ali!! read more

I'm so glad to have found Ali on YELP (and he is just 5 min away from me !!). He is very polite, communicative, and call me personally (even after hour)to let me know his schedule ahead of time (it was a weekend when my PC wifi died on me) Took my PC to his workshop, and he solved my problem within 30 mins, did an overall check-up and gave me suggestions as to how to improve my PC performance. His charges are so reasonable too. Thank you Ali !! read more

Incredibly fast and accommodating. I have a newer iMac and a lot of companies wont touch these or charge an insane amount to do any work to them. Ali did not hesitate and did my repairs affordably and flawlessly. He only works on weekends, at least at the time of me writing this review, so be sure to properly prepare and coordinate with Ali in advance. read more

In an Apple repair market where repair prices are close to Apple Corporate, its really good to see someone who performs Quality Mac repair at very reasonable prices... Ali is very professional and. makes sure the job is done right. Definitely will use him in the future. This coming from an Apple user since 1977 and an ex employee, now disabled. read more

I think this is my first ever Yelp review, I've never really been compelled to write one before now. Ali was so responsive, helpful, and kind in diagnosing my computer's problem. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to him again. He turned a huge headache into a 5 minute solution. read more

Ali was very professional and super fast- both responding AND fixing my computer. He was able to resurrect my 10 year old laptop and happily took on my business as a last minute, Saturday morning request. Ali is quite Covid conscious, wore a mask and gloves and we kept our distance. I definitely plan on reaching out to him again for future services! read more

My son's computer was crashing, so I reached out to Ali. Within an hour he signed in remotely, analyzed the problem (running out of memory) and made some quick changes to stop the crashing and suggested the best memory expansion to buy. He came over the next day, installed the new memory and the computer is running better than ever. he was also very polite, knowledgable and reasonable priced. I'd highly recommend him. read more

This was one of the best experiences I've had on yelp. Ali is a great and genuine person. A little back story on my issue, I purchased a nice new computer part for my gaming PC. It was supposed to be an easy swap but I messed up installation somehow. Ali and I troubleshot the issue on the phone for a few hours and he even asked me to bring it by for him to confirm the boot sequence and everything else was correct. Ali was a patient, well-informed dude who took great care of me and my PC. 5/5 would totally go back to Ali in the future. read more

I had a weird issue with my wifi, so I reached out. He got back to me soon after and was extremely helpful over the phone. Fixed my problem completely. Excellent service, excellent guy. 10/10 read more
