Called twice last week and this week to ask about services for home computer and they said to drop it off. Went to drop it off and was told they are not accepting home computer repairs. Called to find out what the story was and was told by the person who answered, "You didn't talk to me when you called." Disappointing and a waste of my time. read more

Roz Hi-Tech For Computer and Apple Services

After the great service I received at this business, I knew Roz deserved a review…read more My wife, son & I are staying at the Massanutten Resort a few miles up the road from Harrisonburg. We were at Luray Caverns when my son's iPhone 5 stopped working. (15 year-olds do not take loss of contact well!!) Using Yelp I called a couple of likely places. The first did not answer, the second did not repair phones, but referred me to Roz. It was already six and Roz closes at seven, so I was not hopeful- it's a 40 minute drive just to get to the shop. But the owner told me to come in; he would take a look at the phone. We got there at 6:45p. True to his word, the owner looked at the phone & then fixed it!! He stayed late, until 7:15p and was very pleasant to boot. And I was charged a very reasonable amount. This is my first Yelp review, but I felt compelled to write this one.

Sloppy Workmanship, Broken Components, and Misplaced Trust I…read morebrought my Alienware Aurora R10 gaming desktop here for a BIOS recovery issue. I chose this shop because the owner's son was very respectful and well-mannered, so I decided to give them an opportunity. Despite being a 7-year-old system, the shop seemed amazed by the premium hardware inside, including a Ryzen 9 16-core CPU, an NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti with 11GB of Samsung GDDR6 video memory, 64GB of gaming RAM, and 4TB of total storage (a 2TB SSD and a 2TB hybrid OEM Barracuda HDD). Unfortunately, my trust was completely misplaced due to incredibly sloppy workmanship all the way around. The Key Issues: Hardware Damage: The technician forced the internal power supply swing-arm shut without properly routing the wires. They snapped the locking clip entirely off my secondary 2TB hybrid hard drive port, destroying the drive (which housed my entire Steam library) and leaving plastic debris inside the case. Misrouted & Disconnected Wi-Fi: The WLAN module wireless antenna wires were routed incorrectly and completely disconnected, just sitting loosely in front of the chip. I had to manually reconnect them myself just to get my Wi-Fi working. Incorrect Assembly & Error Codes: They plugged the liquid cooling pump and the CPU radiator fan into the wrong motherboard headers. This threw an error banner on boot, which the owner tried to click past and dismiss as "nothing" until I investigated it myself and pointed out the reversed cables. Missing Safety Parts: They left three motherboard screws completely out of the system. Even worse, they forgot to reinstall my plastic GPU support bracket and a rear PCIe slot cover, leaving a heavy graphics card sagging with zero support and an open hole in the chassis. Inconsistent Communication: I was told they desoldered the BIOS chip to program it externally, but visual inspection showed no evidence of any desoldering work on the original board. It cost me $364 in labor, diagnostics, and a replacement motherboard, plus the cost of a ruined hard drive. Now I have to make a separate trip back after the 4th of July just to retrieve the structural parts they left out of my machine. If you have high-end hardware, buyer beware.

I understood that a small fee would be asked to look at my computer so I was fine with any small cost. When I was called to tell me that I was looking at more money than I wanted to spend on fixing my laptop, Kenny had told me not to worry about the diagnostic fee. I felt bad not giving him anything but he insisted because he was hoping to fix my problem. I in turn did buy a refurbished laptop from them and am very pleased. The customer service was great and I didn't even have to pay them to look at it, anywhere else would have been sure to charge me an arm and a leg to just open it up. I will return for any future computer issues.

After Anthony explained to me what was going on with my computer, I allowed him to take everything off of my computer to have it transferred to another one. He then gave me options to where I can purchase another computer. However, I eventually purchased a refurbished computer from Anthony which is much sturdier and I love the keyboard. What I liked most about this experience is the one-on-one service in which he provided and took his time to explain everything without me feeling rushed and unsure. He is very friendly, calm, and personable. It was a pleasure to have worked with him.

They kept this extra charge hidden until literally the very last second and explained it as a "copay" and told me I was "lucky because it would be so much more without the warranty."

I found out after talking with them that it would cost me approximately $600 to fix the issue. I decided to stop into iRepair in Harrisonburg, Va to see if they could possible fix the issue. After talking to the guy at the counter, he stated they would look at the issue to see. He let me know that the cost would be between $30 to $200 depending on what they find. They informed me to give them a hour to give. After an hour or so they contacted me to unlock phone to check everything. Very knowledgeable about the electronics. They advised me of issues with FaceID recognition but after having my phone back, I had to reprogram the FaceID. I will definitely return and recommend this Repair Shop to others. Great Job!

It was so bad I asked Gadget town, what can be done. They say, "yep those phones with those screens often have problems" I'm thinking, then why offer this service. I told him my previous cracked screen worked better and I asked if he could just reinstall it. He then proceeds to say, for $20 more the OLED screen is great. Well, $20 more and after a few weeks, I'm noticing glitches with this one. The screen won't work while plugged in and when it's in my pocket, it will randomly select and activate apps. My advice is, go to a professional for new screen installments.

My computer worked fine and everything with the crack in my screen but I still wanted to have it fixed in fear of the crack getting worse.

I took it back in to have them look at it. The guy "fixed" it for the time being while in the store but by the time I got back home it messed up again. And the only solution was to fix it temporarily and he wasn't even sure how to fix it without opening it up. I decided to call Best Buy to have them look at it because I do not trust these guys to touch my computer again. I do not recommend them

The heater went out and decided to replace with it and began contacting plumbers in Charlottesville and Lynchburg, several of them never returned my calls or emails. I had done a lot of reading about different options. I contacted Blauch Brothers and spoke to them on the first call. Seth traveled to my farm in Nelson County looked at the job took photos and had me a quote the next day. They had to order the AO Smith Propane 50 gallon heater. They completed the installation yesterday. I am very satisfied the customer service and the estimate. I highly recommend Blauch Brothers.

We asked for service on a tankless water heating system and replacing a pipe under a bathroom sink…read more The first task was slightly different because the previous owner had set up an excellent but unique system in the house. Some of the pipes had build up from hard water. However, all the repair needed was replacing a part in the tankless system that caused the leaking. The build up was cleaned and looked like it had resolved after we had upgraded our water softener solution. While the individuals who came were kind, the first one took 3 hours and then had to call in a supervisor for the tankless system and piping. It was wasting my time working part-time from home while caring for a newborn full-time. Then, I asked multiple times for an estimate and they skirted around the question. When they looked at the sink pipe, they just put plumber's tape around it. The job wasn't finished when they sent an overpriced invoice. They said it was an error. We asked twice for an itemized invoice which they never sent. Also, we told them not to come back to finish the job if they would charge more. They promised not to charge more, came, and then charged more. Now, the water system is connected to a heated floor system installed by the previous owner of the house. Multiple professionals commented on how well the previous owner installed the system - including Blauch Brothers. Since they touched the system, it does not work. When asked if they could fix it for free since they likely did something, they evaded the question with "we can help you by looking at it" but not saying clearly whether they could do it free or not. It is understandable if they couldn't do it for free, but the lack of clarity was disappointing. We will likely pursue the previous plumbing company as they were dependable, efficient, and reasonably priced. They were just not available at this time, so that is why we tried Blauch Brothers. The biggest advantage this company has is that the people were polite and you could get an appointment quickly.

I contacted Miller Plumbing Solutions through Angi to get a quote for installing an outdoor spigot on my new home. Before reaching out, I had researched typical costs and found most estimates in the $500-$800 range. When Miller Plumbing came out, they told me the job would be straightforward due to easy basement access and the location of the existing plumbing. They even mentioned they could drill through wood instead of concrete to help keep costs down. Despite describing it as an easy job, their quote came in at nearly $1,500. After I explained that was well beyond my budget, they removed some items and lowered the estimate to around $900, but said they couldn't go any lower. I was also told that while a handyman might be cheaper, I wouldn't find a licensed and insured plumber who could do the work for less. I declined the estimate and later mentioned it to a neighbor, who recommended Cory Claytor of Claytor Plumbing. Cory came by, looked at the project, and immediately told me the previous quote was outrageous. He completed the installation in just over an hour, drilled through the concrete rather than the wood to avoid damaging my siding, and charged just under $500. He is fully licensed and insured. Cory and his daughter, who assisted with the job, were professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and fair. The quality of the work was excellent, and the price was exactly what I would expect for a straightforward installation. Based on my experience, I felt that Miller Plumbing Solutions was attempting to charge far more than was reasonable for this project. On the other hand, Claytor Plumbing delivered outstanding service, quality workmanship, and honest pricing. If you're looking for a plumber who treats customers fairly, I highly recommend Cory Claytor and Claytor Plumbing.
