I have been here twice in the past couple of years for repair work. Once, I lost files on my…read morecomputer but I knew they were stored somewhere on a portable USB drive. While it wasn't exactly cheap, they restored all of the files on the USB drive including the ones I had lost on my computer. That was great. Also, last year our computer was acting up and running slow so I brought it here. They did a scan of the hard drives and reformatted parts of the storage so that we had more free space (so our computer wouldn't crash every time we needed to do something) and removed some programs we didn't need (after consulting with us first). Again, great work!

My needs are unique, I need a fast, graphically intense computer that can also handle Microsoft spreadsheets, billing, massive downloads. My needs are hybrid- and Andrew realizes that a "one size fit's all" is not going to do what I need. Even more impressive- beyond his technological skills, Andrew is a really nice person. I have been in his store and watched as customers, neighbors, senior citizens, have come in with "locked up" laptops. They clicked on "something" and now have the blinking virus screen. He just smiles, opens up their computer and has miraculously fixed a few right in front of me. He knows their names. He makes them comfortable. They didn't need to call for an appointment 3 days from now. That's why he has been in business for so many years. If you need a computer, or need a repair, do yourself a favor and go to Computer Sense. You won't be sorry.

They have repaired several computers for me over the years and I value their expertise. This firm also carries a varied inventory of computer equipment, such as new and used laptops and printers.

Most recently, I took a new Lenovo Yoga in to have them insert the data from an older laptop and to tweak the settings on the new machine to my personal preferences. This included additional software programs for protection from malware and possible hacking. All the work was accomplished within a day.

Capital Tech quickly reached out after I posted my desperate plea through Yelp, and were willing to come out to where I was to pick up the machine, quickly identify the model of the necessary part, and gave me the option to have shipment for the replacement expedited, dramatically shortening the turnaround time for the whole process. Throughout, they were very communicative, reaching out with regular updates on the status of the job, and their charges for parts and labor were entirely fair and quite competitive -- moreover, their willingness to come out on site within their service area (an approx. 25 mile radius) was truly a lifesaver in my case. I am very grateful for their service and would heartily recommend them.

While I'm usually the techy in our home, occasionally I get stumped and have to call in backup…read more Fortunately for me, I stumbled upon The Computer Mechanic in Schenectady! Before I get into it, let me give you some background... In my home, an annual trend has slowly formed with the simple phrase, "Something happened to my computer". It started with a pricey Macbook, where liquid was accidentally spilled onto the device. The Apple store happily offered a fix that cost nearly as much as a new computer -- which led to me purchasing a newer Macbook -- only to have the motherboard die 9 months later with another hefty $800+ fix. So now we have significantly less expensive, and oddly more powerful Chromebooks! Well the other day, the same chilling phrase echoed in my home, "Something happened to my computer". I researched and tried everything I could find online, positive that I was following the right directions, but to no avail. So I decided to seek outside help (!sacrilege!) and came upon The Computer Mechanic's Google Maps result and website. I filled out the online form, and within minutes, I had a short and to the point response. It was after hours, so the next day I hopped into my car and drove over. Being an 80's Nerd myself, the business was exactly what I had hoped it would be. Quiet, lots of computers and parts everywhere, a beautiful wall of old motherboards, and uncomfortably bright glow of several monitors. The guy behind the counter took the Chromebook and said, "when do you want it back by?" To which I replied, "when could it be done? I mean, I have no idea how long it will take." He said, "it shouldn't take too long", and it was late afternoon, so I suggested the following day. Then I confirmed that I provided my email and phone number on the webform and left. The next day, I emailed to check in, and they said it was read. I showed up, cracked a few jokes that didn't seem to land, swiped my Credit Card, and was out the door in minutes. In all honesty, these guys were really great and seemed to know what they were doing. They were even running their "Wipe & Reload for $60" special, so it cost practically nothing compared to places like Geek Squad. It's definitely a no-frills experience. But when you just want to get your computer back up and running, without being upsold on a bunch of garbage you don't need, this winds up being the absolute best type of experience one could hope for. And because it was so inexpensive, I can afford to go to The Computer Mechanic instead of wasting hours trying to figure it out myself. The next time I'll absolutely be back for my annual, "Something happened to my computer" pilgrimage.

He was wonderful and told me not to worry about it that he would be there for us when we were ready. He WAS!!! We called on a Sunday and he met my husband and was able to repair my son's computer in about 4 hours. He was kind and didn't take advantage of our lack of knowledge regarding computer repair. His rates were very reasonable and I would highly recommend Eyemax for anyone experiencing computer problems. I will definitely use them again if I should encounter any problems in the future.
