I had purchased a HP windows 11 laptop not even a year old. One day I logged in and it told me that the automatic repair was not working. After 10,000 times of trying to re start in a few different ways and Youtube videos ...still no luck! So frustrating. I reached out to Detor Computer Services within 10 minutes he knew exactly what to do and fixed it! I would recommend him to all my friends and family!! Thank you, Detor! read more

Fantastic service from start to finish. I brought my (very slow) laptop to Detor Computer after 1. forgetting my Windows password and 2. ending up with a boot-up error that made the laptop unusable. I requested an appointment over email and Alan got back to me very quickly. He was able to get my laptop up and working again, remove my Windows password, and even performed a tune-up. Now my laptop is working great, and way faster than before. Alan also kept me informed throughout the entire process, and was happy to listen and answer questions at every stage. It can be hard to find people who do thorough, honest work at reasonable prices, but Detor Computer has it covered. I'll definitely be coming back with any future computer issues. Highly recommend! read more

Do not fix anything with him, he is a rip-off and bad! About few months ago I tried replacing my LT screen ( already had the new part) and he asked for 137$ as I was driving back home I found out another store few blocks from his house who fixed my LT for 25$. + keyboard protector as a gift. I got it 2 days later ( fast repair) There is a big difference between 137$ and 25$!. Don't take my words and Just try to go to the store near Fifi's ice cream on James st before going to him and see the difference. read more

This was the third time I've called Alan for help. My computer just died. I sent an email late Friday night thinking I wouldn't hear from him until Monday. Instead he had me drop off my laptop on Saturday. By Monday evening he knew what was wrong, gave me possible scenarios for resolving my problem. I bought a new computer on Tuesday, dropped it off Wednesday morning and had the new computer up and running with my data transferred off the hard drive and ready to go by early Wednesday afternoon. Price was right and couldn't ask for a quicker, more pleasant exchange! read more

Mr Detor was able to fix a laptop with a damage harddrive and get it working again with little trouble, and also gave us good advice about why fixing the working but damaged touchscreen to my laptop was not worth the cost. Competent and professional service. I wanted to make a point of making this review since I saw that many of the positive reviews were in the unrecommended section. read more

Calling Alan was one of the best decisions I have ever made. He saved something for me that could never have been replaced. I had a WD MyCloud server unit that went brick during a firmware upgrade. WD didn't want to do much by way of honoring the warranty on it, so I decided to take things into my own hands, as I usually do. I learned that the unit had a standard SATA drive inside, and that it could be controlled by Linux. I have a desktop with some auxiliary ports available, so I cracked open the server and popped the hard drive into the desktop. I fired up Linux, and started transferring the junk files to another drive. I figured i would move my music and movies first in case there was an issue, i wouldnt lose my family photos, videos, and documwnts. BIG MISTAKE! All was good...for a while. There was a power failure just after I had finished the end of the movie files and was getting ready to move the photos. I booted the computer, and it saw the drive, but it could no longer access. I was devastated. All I could think was that I had destroyed my history over my independence. The drive sat for a year, as I tried to decide who to trust with any attempt to fix the problem. I have taken drives to Geek Squad in the past, and way too much money and time later, they returned bits and pieces of my data, along with some of their bloat ware. No way was I sending it there. I hit up Google, and found Detor Computer Services. He had great reviews. Something told me to call him, so I did. He was attentive. He discussed the issue in a way that most people could understand. He was honest about my prospects and the potentially associated costs. Needless to say, his service was able to retrieve the better part of a Terabyte of data, without losing a single file! The drive was toast, but they still got all of my data back...and probably kept my wife from killing me! I've told anybody who is having computer concerns about Alan and his work! As always, a damaged computer is hit or miss for recovery, but your best bet is to call Detor Computer Services. read more
