The folks at Computer Solutions are AWESOME! I didn't know what was wrong with my computer. It died slowly (over a few days). I HAD a "Premier Protection Plan" with Direct TV. That insurance was supposed to cover ANYTHING that you could watch Direct TV on. My laptop died after making a clicking noise (for those old enough to know how a Record sounds at the end). I sent it in to Direct TVs Premier for repair. They sent it back telling me that they couldn't fix it, because "they don't work on equipment that is missing parts". I asked what was missing; they said; the RAM. I NEVER OPENED this laptop. I researched and found that my laptop had RAM in two places; 1) in the bottom (for expansion) which was empty, and 2) under the keyboard. I called and explained that I did their research and found this info. Please reopen my claim. I was called the next day and was again, denied. Needless to say we canceled that Protection Policy (and as soon as our Direct TV contract is complete, we will cancel that too!).
I called Best Buy (Geeks), they said $100 up front and 5 days before they could look at it. I then got the bright idea to search for Computer Repair on Google Maps. I then reached out via Face Book and made contact with Computer Solutions of Yuma. They said that they don't charge for a simple diagnosis, and can probably have an answer within a day. GO FIGURE! Not $100 and Not 5 days!!!
I jumped in my Gooney Goo Goo Mobile and ran it right over. Karly was there to greet me (who blinded me with her smile) and told me that: I would probably get a call within a day. That evening Stephen called and told me that: at first it was thought to be a hard drive, but it's not. It was the Mother Board. The Mother Board was shorted and made a clicking noise via the speakers. He explained the problem and had a repair quote ready. The price: "VERY REASONABLE"!
In short, they had it fixed before Best Buy would have gotten to look at it! AND, they proudly back their work!
Big kudos to the little Computer Shop that kicked butt!
Don't get me wrong, I still like Best Buy products. But; you can't beat the service of this little shop!
Hopefully I won't have computer issues, (but I'm sure I will sometime again). When I do, Karly and Stephen won me over as a Customer for life! read more
