First of all, if you guys are comparing Computer Clinic Service to other competitors such as Affinity Computers, Best Buy Geek Squad Or PC Richard (some Toshiba Authorized Repair shop in VA, I ask please don't compare CCS (Computer Clinic Service to others. If anyone is interested in the bulletproof evidence, then please ask me because I have all the invoices, and all my repairs from A-Z other places and work that they have done to my laptops/desktops/tablets. First of all, I never ever believed in computer clinic or shops like Affinity Computers, etc. Just didn't. Last year, I purchased $200-$250 bundle package from Best Buy for their Geek Squad services. I took my HP All in PC touchsmart, it was a simple task, I asked them to re-install Windows 7 Home Premium on it, took them 5 days, in the end. I took it home, wow, the whole house was full of smell, Best Buy burned my PC fan. Second time, I took a Samsung Tablet $1499.99 worth just to install second time Windows 7 professional. 3 Days passed by, they couldn't able to install it. When I went to pick up the tablet, they lost my Samsung Original Windows 7 installation CD, What a waste on Geek Squad services, will never go back to Best Buy for Geek Squad services.
Then, I googled for computer shops nearby, went to Affinity Computers, luckily, they had optical drive for my laptop and sure, they did a good job in installing it for me for free without any additional charge. But when I went to them for second time for repairing my Apple Macbook Air original air for a bad hinge. Are you guys ready, they quoted me $300 for a minor hinge replacement. Are you guys ready whom, I then went to get that fixed and how much it cost me to get it fixed. I then finally gave a try to Computer Clinic Service off of Route 7, oh boy, what a VIP service that they provided to me. They gave me a whopping $75 quotation for the hinge replacement. Since, I wasn't in a hurry, I got that back I m guessing within 1 week because I didn't give them a specific date. As long I was satisfied with the price quotation.
I took my Apple Macbook Pro laptop to Apple Genius bar for the reason, my laptop wasn't turning on.. I scheduled the appointment, some Pakistani guy at Reston Town Centre location, wasn't really polite to me. When he went back to inspect or diagnose the root of the issue or the cause of the problem, when he returned back, he gave me 2-3 options quoting me $125, $225, $350 (I believe, $350 was for motherboard/battery replacement). I just brought the laptop back and contacted another shop in Chantilly, no longer exist but I had few friends there very loyal with me (became my very good friends) I called that shop, and the main guy (my friend), when I told him the symptoms, he knew right then, what the issue was, he said most probably the laptop battery cable must have gotten lose, so just reset it. I did exactly that, I removed the battery, and removed the battery cable from its connector and re-connected the battery cable to its connector, and re-inserted the battery and turned the macbook pro and BOOM, it turned on. In conclusion, If you don't know have IT skills, of course anyone would try to quote you much higher prices in repairing. Not only that, but you know sometimes, we end up missing what's coming in future for our computing issues, so experts like Computer Clinic Service can diagnose and oversee any incoming issues and tell you "okay there will by an additional cost for such such issue.
Since, I got turned down from Best Buy & Affinity Computers, (1 year ago) I have been taking my computing needs to Computer Clinic of Sterling.
Another story I can share with general public. It regards the Best Buy order. When I got turned down from Best Buy Geek Squad technicians, I had to fulfill my order to my own client. I was running out of my time for shipping my order to my client, I called Computer Clinic and spoke with David, the owner and explained my story of Best Buy Geek Squad services, and explained how it's very urgent and I need it by tonight. I handed my Samsung tablet to David around 4:15 or 4:45pm and guess what David closes his shop at 7 or 7:30pm, he stayed over his normal hours and he called me to inform me it's almost ready to be picked up it was about 8:35, when he called me. I arrived around 9pm and even after that he had to install the leftover drivers and clean it up. I shook his hands and thanked him multiple times and said to him, that he doesn't have to worry about getting business because I will be his frequent and repeated client for all my computing needs.
I only shared 2 stories that took place first somewhere else then I took same issues over to Computer Clinic and BOOM the prices I got quoted flew right off my head, David instantly caught my attention to be his repeated customer.
In conclusion, you have to understand, these smaller shops are hustling, are working diligently, hard, over time, and making sure that their clients are satisfied read more
