This review is for customer service only. The Queen and I went there to see if they could fix her computer. She is so hard on electronic equipment, like my mom...think it is in the blood. Anyway, she somehow broke the molded piece where you insert your power cord. No idea how she did that, didn't even know it was something you could break, but there you are, it's The Queen. Anyway we took her computer in to Chat Tech Solutions to see if they could fix it, The office is small but so cute. Very open space and lots of natural light. The gentleman who was working there was very pleasant and offered us beverages while he assessed the damage to the computer. He called someone because he was not sure if the repair could be done and it turns out, they do not do that type of repair because it requires soldering. However he was kind enough to recommend another place of business, which is where we ended up going to get the repair done. For me that shows a wonderful regard for taking care of the customer, even though they did not make the sale. I will definitely consider them for other work that they can take care. read more

I brought my HP desktop in 5 years ago on 6/04/14. I want you to know 5 years later, it's STILL working just fine. When I bought it originally, there were problems with the OS. I bought it in and explained the issues. Three days later, they called me and said it was ready to pick up. When I brought it home, it worked like a gem. I can honestly say I've had no issues since that time. The work they did was amazing and they even threw in a free mouse at the time because they were worried the one sent to me by the manufacturer was adding to some problems. As proof of what I'm sharing, here's the service sticker atop my computer. Note the date. Simply put, they are miracle workers. Yeah, you may have to wait a few days but it's well worth it!!! read more

Reliable, honest, affordable, and highly-trained - you not be disappointed with these great people! read more

These guys are awesome and I highly recommend them for computer repair services. I brought my computer in because it was rendered unusable by viruses. They ran a free diagnostics check, found over 400 viruses (not surprised) and then gave me options for repair. Upon selecting a repair option, they did an excellent job repairing and restoring my computer. They were able to 'scrub' all my files, thus maintaining them on my laptop, and it now works like new. Great work, great customer service, they will be my go-to spot for any future problems. read more

I have been recommended by a friend to try this place out a while back but never had any computer problems until recently. A few weeks ago my computer crashed and oh my I was freaked out! Thankfully these guys were able to get all my data out. My computer was running warm all the time and they even fixed that in the mean time. What really made me give them the 5 starts was though their personal service and the follow-up call. I wasn't expected to feel this valued as a customer (I have been to Best Buy so I'm sure you know what that's like). I'm happy to have a place I can now recommend and trust which feels great because technology is a fun but a scary thing when problems arise. read more

Our six year old laptop wouldn't charge. Rather than haul it down to the geeks at Best Buy, we decided to patronize a neighborhood small business. They assessed the issue and gave me a quote to repair. Given the cost to repair, I decided to buy a new laptop. Unlike a big box store, they don't have a showroom with a wide selection of models to play with; they show you pictures online. They had a small inventory of unopened boxes which remain unopened until you pay, at least 50% deposit.You know you're getting a brand new laptop. The guys were friendly and helpful. We'll have them stop by for a house call to take care of some wifi issues we've had since I changed routers. read more

Burac, Paul and their minions are knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. Paul also has a great tea stash he doesn't share with just any customer, but I bet he will if you ask him nicely. They've done two jobs for me, upgrading a computer running XP to Win 7 doing the whole clean install dance and adding more RAM. I aiso purchased an ASUS computer from them, and they cleaned up all the craplets and got me up and running in no time. Love these guy and love that they have kept me in the habit of muching up bandwidth with satisfaction and pleasure. read more

Burak and his brother Baris worked with us since 2004 and were absolute professionals doing every complicated job from building computers to managing websites and helping with some very frustrating issues solving them fast and for very low prices. I can only highly recommend them, a class act. read more

I accidentally spilled a 16oz iced coffee into the keyboard of my laptop! Even though the damaged elements were not readily available, the dudes at CHAT fixed my laptop anyway! And at a very reasonable price. Rock on, CHAT TECH USA! read more

My relationship with Chat Tech USA started after my system crashed and I brought my computer to the "GEEK SQUAD". Best Buy and the GEEK SQUAD basically told me that my system was so compromised that they would have to go through several procedures that had a hefty price tag. Which is what you can expect from one of these dummied down corporate america big box blue chip companies. I was given no direct answers, their analyzation of my problem was vague at best and their "repair" was half asked as they got my computer to run again but were unable to restore my lost files. I cued in on the lack of competence as I payed the bill and walked away defeated becouse I was delving into graphic design and audio engineering at the time and was distraught because the files I lost were a personal extension of my creative self, and I had audio recordings that i would not be able to reproduce again. On my way home from this dilemma I passed by Chat tech and decided to walk in and see what kind of operation they were running. I explained my problems to a Mr. Burac Surac and he looked me directly in the eye and told me that he believed that he could recover my files somewhat painlessly. I had already had a hefty bill from the geek squad and really didnt want to continue to throw money at a problem but I felt that the files that I needed to recover were valuable enough to try to make a second attempt at fixing my problem. I dont trust alot of people and I grew up on the streets and I can read people pretty well, I dont know much about computers, but this dude seemed pretty solid and confident about what he was able to do, so I entrusted my computer into his services. It was less than two or three days when Mr. Burac Surac called me back and informed me that my computer was working and my files were restored. He fixed a problem that geek squad said was unlikley to be resolved and did it at a fraction of the price. Although a few files were not in their original state, due to shareware software I was using possibly, this guy came through for me in the clutch. Since then, I have been solely using Chat Tech USA for my computer repair, upgrade and maintenence services. I have actually moved on to running a very advanced audio and video editing system on what has become my own small business and have had Chat Tech USA hand pick and assemble the components for the computer I am using now. As a small businessman trying to succeed I demand certain things from myself which I believe my customers expect from me. These things are a strict attention to detail, an ability to solve a problem whether it is convienient or inconvienient to do so, and the efficiency of having a thorough job done in a reasonable amount of time. I can tell you firsthand that the people at Chat Tech USA mirror this in my eyes and If they werent in business for themselves then they would be the only people I would hire for this work. In a society where we want things fixed immediatly and that every click of the mouse means things get done, I am confident to say that the only acceptable downtime on my companies computer system is time spent with Chat Tech USA. read more

I was helped by Daniel. I had a laptop that was missing lots of drivers and had a piece of hardware that was broken and I was hoping for advice on. Daniel told me what all my options were for resolving the issues, along with a couple other problems with the laptop, and the cost was pretty cheap. Communication was also very good. I was notified by phone and email when the job was done, and that was also quite fast. Basically one business day. The computer works great and I would definitely use them again if I had another computer problem. Very nice people and great service. read more

The work they do is fantastic. I brought in my VERY old ibook laptop that had a dead hard drive and they replaced it and even updated the memory for me as well (as much as they could anyway, like I said, it is a very old laptop). :) I'm very happy with the work that they did and the timely manner that the work was done. I highly recommend them. The only issue that I had with them was that they said they would get back to me in a couple of days with an estimate and it took them more like 4 days. It's a small thing, but it matters when you're waiting to figure out if it's even worth it to get it fixed. But that's a very minor thing and they more than made up for it with the timely manner that they repaired it. A truly great service. read more

Trustworthy, Honest, Efficient fast service. An amazing team. As soon as you walk in, they welcome you like a good friend would and treat you well. My computer had a virus and they were able to restore it and save all my data. Trust no one else with your computer. This team knows what they are doing and do it well. Extraordinary service.

I don't write a lot of reviews, but as I told the guys at Chat Tech USA, I'm happy to let the world know when I've received bad service from a company -- and happy to let the world know when I've received great service. Burak and his team did a great job repairing and upgrading my (rather old) computer, charged a great price and provided great customer service. It helps having a shop in the neighborhood where you can trust the work and want to recommend that others go there. read more

The worst service ever. No sense of urgency, no respect for customers needs, poor judgement. I left my laptop for repair due to a problem with the fan, the technician told me would take only 2 days to resolve, but almost 2 months passed and he ended up burning the CPU. No refund of the $150 paid for the service; the owner only offered an used laptop and I needed to pay the difference. The result, I had to buy a new laptop, buy all the programs, spend time reorganizing restores files, and a lot of stress having to deal gradutae courses,projects and other responsibilities without my laptop for 2 months. read more

Chat Tech's staff has been very helpful and reliable. They have provided us with thorough instructions and even helpful tips in using the products we've purchased. They also don't finish a job until it's done. A technician will always come back if they find we would benefit from a better tool, product, size, ect. We give Chat Tech 5 stars for its dedicated, trustworthy and friendly service. read more

Knowledgeable staff and convenient location. They got my computer up and running like new in no time! Recommended highly.

I found Chat Tech on Yelp and went based on the good reviews. I was not disappointed. I dropped off my virus-infected laptop on Friday and it was ready on Tuesday. The staff was friendly, professional, and listened to what I had to say. I was told the price up front and don't feel like I was ripped off. My laptop is fixed, and faster than it's been in years. I like supporting a local place and would definitely recommend this business! read more

I'm so pleased with Chat Tech. Paul updated my old laptop in one day at reasonable price. Then he also repaired my desktop when I lost internet connection & other programs after an on-line tech tried to fix their program. Due to other serious issues, he recommended replacing the operating system. Price quoted was less than I expected & I had my pc back in about 3 days. Both computers are working great. Thanks Paul! read more

Had an excellent experience with the staff here. Very friendly gentlemen. My hard drive was beginning to die and I needed a place that could deliver both a quick turn-around and a fair price since I was in the middle of a job transition AND grad school. Donald and Baris went above and beyond to give me the help I needed with both a time crunch and a limited budget. Cannot recommend them enough. read more

I bought a reconditioned lap top from Burak a couple years ago. He learned quickly that I know very little about computers so he came to my house to set everything up. Subsequent questions have always been answered quickly and professionally. I like the fact they remind me every year about service. It's helpful to me to know his business in nearby and his staff is there to help. read more

I recently took in my laptop, which somehow survived a severely broken hinge and a cup of cider being poured on it. The whole staff was very friendly, gave me a detailed estimate within 24 hours, and completed the required work within a few days. The pricing was more than reasonable as well. I'll definitely be going back whenever my next tech problem arises. read more
