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.

My search for a good computer repair shop almost ended in a nightmare. Fortunately, before things…read moretotally went south, I did an online search and found ComputeRx in Niskayuna. Mike Kanciruk has been in the repair business for more than 15 years. He's racked up great reviews which convinced me to give ComputeRx a try. Mike fixed my broken MacBook Pro in about a week. The laptop screen had cracked and I forgetfully let the warranty expire. Ugh! Mike charged me $75 for labor to install a new replacement screen which he had to order. It wasn't cheap. The whole thing ran me close to $600. I like Mike because he was upfront about costs and what needed to be done. Initially, I took my broken laptop to a repair shop near me where it just sat untouched for more than two weeks. The repair cost they finally quoted was between $100-$200 more than what ComputeRx actually charged, plus they wanted the money upfront. I had a bad feeling about that so I took my laptop back and brought it to ComputeRx instead. So glad I did. ComputeRx at 2215 Nott St. It shares an office with Nott Street Office, a shipping and copy business. They're few doors down from Lange's Pharmacy. .

I called his cellphone and he responded within minutes telling me his office was closed for the week and that he was going to pick up his son. However, I needed my laptop for the weekend. He was incredibly sympathetic and said he would reopen his office at a later time on that Friday. He shares space with another business and when I entered the space, the other business people informed me that Mike left. I explained that he was coming back to reexamine my machine. The people said Mike never does that. Well, he did!! And I am grateful. He fixed my machine and we both parted smiling. Now THAT is great business. Go to ComputerX for your computer needs!!

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.

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.
