I found David here on Yelp, and he came to our place to fix it. He was not only knowledgeable, he did a great job updating the computer as he fixed the original problem, and was really easy to work with. His nice personality made this otherwise nerve-wracking process easier. And finally, his rate was very reasonable. We cannot recommend iSupportYou highly enough, and are grateful to have David's expertise available the next time we need computer repair. We highly recommend him!

I can't say enough great things about Matt. He absolutely saved me this week…read more My Lenovo laptop completely failed to boot after a graphics driver cleanup utility corrupted the Windows boot configuration and recovery environment. The system was stuck in a recovery loop, BitLocker was triggered, and Windows wouldn't load or even reliably enter repair mode. Multiple shops I called said it would take several days just to diagnose the issue. Matt turned it around in essentially one day. He was able to manually access the system, unlock BitLocker, repair the corrupted boot configuration, rebuild the necessary Windows files, and get the machine fully operational again -- without wiping my data. That was critical, as I had local files that weren't backed up to the cloud. Beyond the technical expertise, what impressed me most was: * Clear communication * Fast turnaround * Extremely reasonable pricing * No upselling, no unnecessary "reinstall everything" approach He diagnosed the real issue quickly and fixed it correctly the first time. If you're an independent contractor who depends on your machine daily, or you run a small to mid-sized business and need reliable, competent IT support, Matt is exactly who you want on your side. Look no further. Highly, highly recommend.

I dropped a running external hard drive containing important, non-backed-up data. I left my device at their downtown drop-off location. I received the results of the diagnostic evaluation and a cost estimate (around $1,500) about 3.5 days later. A hard drive containing my data arrived at my house 18 days after the initial drop-off. Pros: --They recovered 100% of my irreplaceable data. --They shipped the data on a new hard drive directly to my house, and the shipping time was fast. --They have a 10% student discount. --Their online document management system makes it easy to keep track of what you have agreed to/what their policies are as you're going along. --Due to their mistake, they ended up sending me a new hard drive for free. They usually charge for this. Cons: --After they sent the data to me, they e-mailed me basically begging for positive reviews. They offered a $5 Starbucks gift card if I would review them on Google Pages. --Your device must be shipped from the drop-off location, downtown, to a repair lab somewhere "In Chicago." Versus a recovery company that has you bring your device directly to the lab (ACE recovery in Chicago does this), this might add to your wait time for a diagnosis. --Communication was sometimes slow. I left one phone message on both day 1 and day 2 after drop-off asking for an update on the status of my case (e.g., "Can you confirm that you got the hard drive?"). These calls were not returned. When I finally spoke with Mark on Day 3 he said he would e-mail me a report in "2 minutes" and it took 1 hour. --They seemed disorganized. I specified on one of their forms that I would rather provide a new hard drive than purchase one from them. They did not honor this.

A complete waste of time - I feel cheated and scammed. My Mac M1 needed repair. I sent it to them…read moreand was told that my Mac would be completely unusable after their attempt for recovery. I waited and waited for their services and nobody reached out. I was told it would take 4 weeks to find out the status of my recovery... almost 3 MONTHS later of waiting I decided to reach out to them directly. After reaching out directly, I finally got a response. What was strange is that when they FINALLY responded it just felt like they had kind of forgotten about my Mac (that I sent in months ago) for repair and seemed to kind of play it off like they had been working diligently and "trying methods" the entire time. (Seems to me like they just completely forgot) Sure enough, after about 2 days (ironically AFTER I reached out) the tech let me know that my data couldn't be recovered. They then asked if I'd like to "recycle" the "scrap metal" (are you kidding?) or pay a shipment fee to get my "scrap metal" back. I ended up shipping it back. After a shipment fee and an incredibly long wait, I got my Mac and it looked EXACTLY the same as when I sent it in. (Incredibly WEIRD) - Something told me to try to boot it up. I booted it up and it was literally NO different from when I first sent it. After being told I couldn't ever use it again, and here I am, typing this review on the VERY SAME MAC THAT I SENT IN. I literally found a YouTube tutorial and it took me 2 minutes to solve the issue. A total waste of time and money. Never using their services again.
