Computer Depot used to be my go-to for computer problems. The last time I used their services was…read morein 2022 after I had been being cyber bullied and my computer and WiFi hacked for nearly a year while I was renting a senior apartment from Knoxville Community Development Corporation (KCDC) in Knoxville. I already knew KCDC was involved. They have a reputation for going to extremes to target and retaliate against residents, and I had filed HUD complaints against them. When I brought my computer into Computer Depot, the manager/owner looked at me with eyes as big as saucers. I felt intuitively that something was not right. I gave them my computer and asked them to wipe the hard drive and reload my programs to get rid of the malware. When I came back to pick up my computer, I found that they had disabled my Secure Boot and installed a program that allowed them to come and go from my computer system, but also left an open door for the hackers. That was like a big clue that KCDC had hired them as "black hats" to facilitate their cyber harassment and surveillance, which included turning my apartment neighbors against me and encouraging them to harass and surveil me. Two attorneys who reviewed my screen shot evidence warned me that KCDC might be setting me up for a criminal indictment. I will never use Computer Depot again.

We brought a printer to their office. We left with a promise it would be completed in 3 days…read more Three weeks later they offered us an interim printer to use. It was a very cheap unit, probably $59 at a box store. It came used and without ink, so we had to buy the cartridges. The printer didn't work they directed us to other cartridges, we bought those the printer still did not work. Now we are in $79 for an initial fee and over $100 in ink cartridges. They said they would come to our house, no more than two blocks from their office. They cancelled at the last minute due to a forecast of rain??? They rescheduled, didn't show. They rescheduled again and didn't show. Now they no longer respond to email inquiries. I am planning, if no response to this complaint, to file one with the Better Business Bureau.

An hour or so later, my laptop was back to normal. No more annoying popups! Great service. I've never taken any computer in for service, so I cannot comment on the price I paid to get rid of the malware as I have nothing to compare it too. I will say that it was worth every penny to get my laptop fixed.

I recently discovered Tech Nav. I went to their shop in need of help with my gaming computer…read more Previously I went to visit 3 other tech repair stores, and no one could seem to figure out why my PC was not booting. Tech Nav was my last resort, and they did not disappoint! As soon as I walked into their store I was greeted and welcomed. They were very friendly and professional. After explaining the issue I had been having with my computer, they asked if they could plug it up at one of their workstations and give it a quick diagnosis to see exactly what was happening. I was more than happy to let them and quite pleased because honestly, I expected to leave it with them for a few days before hearing back after seeing how busy they were! The technician spent some time trying different troubleshooting methods and using different tools to figure out the issue while at the same time explaining step by step exactly what he was doing and what he was looking for, which I appreciated very much. After about 15 minutes he was able to pinpoint the issue and figured out it was my processor! He had explained that usually CPU failure isn't super common, but it happens. He mentioned that he luckily had a good/working CPU on hand that would fit the socket on my motherboard so we could test and 100% verify that was the issue. I agreed and he took apart my cooler and pulled out my CPU and replaced it with the one he was testing with, then after putting it back together, hit the power button and BOOM! My PC immediately booted up like normal! I was absolutely ecstatic and relieved I was able to finally get some answers as to why my PC wasn't working! They also took the time to offer and inform me about multiple options on where to go from there. We could keep the one he replaced in the computer, which they did mention it was used, or they could order me a brand-new processor from one of their vendors. I went for ordering a new one, I even went with an upgrade! About 3 days later I received a call letting me know the part had arrived and my computer was ready for pick up! Overall, I could not be happier with the service from Tech Nav! They never charged me for any of the time they took diagnosing it either! If I could give more than a 5-star rating I absolutely would! I highly recommend Tech Nav, great service, friendly staff, knowledgeable, and great pricing!!!

After visiting the shop a couple times to check on the progress, they finally started working on it. Finally it was delivered back to my home. They failed to bring the dongle to hook up the wireless keyboard, so there was a delay in the setup. When we got the computer, Windows 11 had been installed, but no product key was supplied. I had to obtain it myself which was an added expense of $78. They were supposed to install an anti-virus software, but never did and never returned my call concerning that. The unit won't wake up from sleep mode from either the keyboard or mouse, although the settings in the computer says it should. They never returned my call regarding that issue either. I do not recommend this servicer to anyone.

I call Dave "The Wizard". Knoxville is lucky to have him. He clearly has a tremendous amount of…read moreexperience with repairing audio and video equipment. This is evident by how effortless he makes the work involved seem, despite the intricacies and labor required to perform the repairs. I have thus far had two 50+ year old speakers restored, and a mid 70's Kenwood integrated amp. The prices charged for the work seem fair. Dave is also easy to deal with. It takes him a few weeks to get to working on the repairs, but this is because he has a healthy backlog of repairs to complete. His workshop is filled with equipment he is working on. Demand is high, for good reason: this man is reliable and fair. If you need something repaired, I recommend taking it here.

I dropped off an old console record player 3 weeks ago because I wasn't getting any sound out of my…read moreright speakers. I was told it would be 2-3 weeks before he could look at it. 3 weeks later I called and was told he hadn't looked at it yet but he would today. A couple hours later he called back and confirmed what I already knew, that I had no sound from the right channel. He also said that there were problems with the record player that had been working perfectly before I dropped it off. I asked for a price to fix it, and he said at least $125 plus parts. I told him that the record player had been working fine when I dropped it and just needed sound from the right speakers. He told me again that it would be at least $125 to fix the right speakers. I pressed him to explain how much of the $125 was parts and how much was labor and his request was "most of it is labor". I asked again, how much he would be charging me for labor and how much was for parts, to which he replied "it doesn't matter, that's what I'm charging you to fix it." I then asked to come pick it up. When I went back to pick up my console, he surprisingly did help me load it in my car, at which point I said "your price is reasonable if that's what it would take to fix it, but I need to know what I'm paying for." I might as well have said nothing because he literally ignored my statement and walked in. I recommend avoiding this business. I am confident I would have been overcharged for repairs rendered, and most likely charged to fix parts that weren't broken again. If I could give zero stars for this experience. Update 9/26/18: I took my console literally across the street to Ammons Electrical Repair and they had it fixed and working the very next day for half the price. If you have the choice, choose them. Dixie was 3 weeks, no repairs, and a quote of "about $125". Ammons was one day, $85. They also confirmed that Dixie was full of it trying to fix my turntable which has no issues at all.
