My motherboard BIOS screen while it was being updated.
John B.

TL;DR: Gareth does a fantastic job. Professional, upfront and honest. He gave me a quote and stuck by it and all while providing the utmost respect to me and never talked down to me. I can recommend this place for any PC work done with no nonsense. I received a motherboard that didn't have the correct BIOS for my CPU (Ryzen 5 3600). I brought my PC into Gareth's shop, he confirmed my suspicion and updated my BIOS with no issues. He even optimized my CPU Fan just cause! I will come back here if I ever need work like this done again and recommend him and his shop to everyone.

Absolutely worst service you could get, the one guy in there had no idea what he was doing. Went in there and show him that this is what I need and this is what I talked to his partner about, but he said that this isn't clear enough and told me he didn't want to play any games. I'm paying for the service and this guy thinks it's a game. Unless you want to waste your time and energy, do not come here, this guy who that I talked to clearly has some temper issues, he got triggered because I said "no man", a man-child to say the least. Edit: I brought my computer to another store, explained to the guy what I wanted and we had a deal in under 2 minutes!! Not only that, my brand new computer that I brought into Compudoc had missing part!! My screw was missing and the parts was not even put in correctly!! Wtf!! I called The guy and Compudoc back, to confront him and explained to him that my part is missing AND he didn't put in my cover correctly, could of broken it, the respond I got was "go take a dump", so glad this guy didn't work on my computer, very sloppy and super unprofessional. I explain to the new computer place about my experience at Compudoc and he said that this is the first time time he heard familiar problem from customers with Compudoc, YOUVE BEEN WARNED!! pictures of my missing screw and unprofessional work below, the guy completely messed up my cover and didn't not put it in correctly.

You don't want to miss this sign.

I called to inquire about thermal throttling of my gaming laptop. Lem, the owner was able to…read moreidentify it right away that it's likely because of the dirtiness of the internal and the thermal paste being old. I asked him for the price and the price he gave me was 2/3 of the other shops around the area that I called and inquire. I came in a little late but he was able to rush my service for me as I was leaving the town the next day and I was able to pick it up within the hour. Thermal paste replacement service that I requested was done professionally and he even add extra thermal paste around the needed area on the board. Deep cleaning service was excellent. I notice the cleanliness right away and it boosts my experience with games and work programs by a major 2.5x speed. I went from 45 FPS to 120 FPS in just less than an hour. Lem hospitality was also very amazing. Very nice guy to talk to. Professional yet personal. Just as advertised, "You break it, he fix it!" Very fast at that.

Lem is the best! Our brand new gaming PC had an issue with ports not working, so we needed to find…read moresomewhere to fix it. Lem was able to fully fix it same day! He texted when the PC was ready for pickup and had my husband test it in store to make sure it was working perfectly before leaving. It's been a few days and things are still working without any issues. The price was extremely fair, too! We'd for sure use him again for any computer issues. Great customer service!

Excellent Work This…read morewas for my 3 year old grand daughter Right on time Will recommend them

I never write reviews, but this was by far the worst experience I've had with a repair shop. Poor…read morecommunication, deceptive information to avoid compensating me for their mistake, and a serious waste of my time and money. Yelp has a set character count so here is a shortened version of my review: I brought my PC in with a clear issue: apps crashing, and a Windows reinstall that kept failing partway through. Before bringing it in, I spent 8 hours troubleshooting on my own and narrowed it down to two likely causes -- a corrupted Windows install or a bad CPU. I explained all of this on the phone and again in person when I dropped it off, and was told I'd get a diagnosis the same day. That didn't happen. I had to call an hour before closing just to get an update, and was told to wait until the next day. When they finally called, they flip-flopped on the diagnosis multiple times within a few hours -- first confirming a corrupted Windows install, then claiming it was fixed, then reversing again to say it was still corrupted. They quoted me $90 for a data transfer and $110 for a Windows reinstall. Since I had my own install media, I said I only needed the transfer -- and the price for that alone jumped to $180, with the excuse that it was only "discounted" when bundled with their install. I paid it anyway to protect my files. When I picked up the PC, they assured me -- twice, after I directly asked -- that reinstalling Windows myself at home would work fine. It didn't. I hit the exact same crash I'd described to them from day one. When I called back, they admitted they'd never actually tested the CPU, despite me flagging it as a likely cause from the start. When I asked why I'd paid $180 for a data transfer I didn't need, they gave excuses and contradicted themselves -- first offering free CPU installation (which takes minutes and isn't a real concession), then claiming the transfer would've been necessary regardless, which wasn't true since I could have accessed my files for free from the other drive. When I brought the PC back in, I watched the tech Google my exact problem before telling me they'd "seen this before." The CPU warranty process was its own headache: days of unanswered messages, a lie that it had already been shipped when it hadn't, and them dodging my calls entirely. I called twice in ten minutes and got voicemail both times; a friend called the same number seconds later and got through immediately. The one good part of this experience was an employee named Charlie, who was consistently kind and professional, even helping carry my PC from the car. Everyone else I dealt with was dismissive and dishonest. End result: I paid $180 for work I didn't need, got no refund or compensation for their misdiagnosis, wasted well over a week, and felt completely scammed. I won't be returning.
