I needed my laptop screen replaced. I think the guy's name here is Giovanni. I (stupidly!!) somehow…read morecracked the screen of my two year old MacBook Pro. It half worked for a while, then died. Giovanni replaced it perfectly. Good as new. Of course it was expensive but a heckuvalot more affordable than a new laptop! I was worried I wouldn't find a competent technician for this kind of delicate sophisticated electronics out here in the sticks, so I'm thrilled that 2nd Life could do this job and do it well. I guess I thought I'd have to take my laptop to Westchester or NYC, which would be pretty time consuming. I want to add that the first screen he received failed while still in his shop. So he had to order and install a second one, and I don't think he charged me any different even though it had to have been ~double the labor time. Plus - he obviously checked his work. And, he apologized for the delay, even though he didn't cause it. I don't know about you but a lot of things nowadays, people take shortcuts or don't care about the quality of work or just fail to do the simplest little checks to assure a job is done right. Would definitely recommend

I have no doubt that Javier is a good parts installer, but unfortunately I cannot recommend his…read moreservices to anyone after dealing with him. I had known working mid to high end PC that I wanted to swap out the CPU and GPU with updated models. I've made many PCs before, but I ran into issues. I couldn't get it to post. After a month or so I lost faith in myself, which was the worst possible decision I could've made. I decided to bring it to JK Techs, thinking a man claiming to have 20+ years of experience would be better than gambling with Geek Squad, or taking it far away to someone else. I paid his diagnostic fee, which was admittedly cheap. However when he seemed to run out of ideas the computer would sit for weeks and weeks, while he complained about having other customers to work on. I get it, he needs to make money somewhere to keep the doors open, and time for parts shipments, but as time went on nothing much seemed to happen at all. I noticed it was difficult to reach the front desk. Some of my texts where unanswered and almost every time I called they would never pick up. Luckily I live within a few blocks but some of you may not be so fortunate. Eventually I had grown tired. Me and my Micro Center buddies had a lot of time to think. I decided I wanted machine back, and I picked it up the next day. At the end of my day I decided to take a look at it. I noticed immediately the unmistakable shine of not 1, but 2 bent pins in my CPU socket. At this point I was so frustrated. I did not want to go back, and I had experience with bent pins, so I documented the damage before attempting to fix it. I bent one back successfully, but upon further investigation a leg of the remaining pin was sheared, thus making irreparable trash. The next day I resolved to at least try to go there. I was graced with the presence of Javier, who doesn't seem to be there much. I showed him the bent pins. I explained to him that my board had no such bent pins before I gave it to him, which he tried to blame me for. He refused to accept the probability that they were bent in the store. I pointed out that a minute earlier that he claimed he would've noticed such a problem. Backed into a corner, he claimed he could try and bend the pins back, which I explained was impossible. He denied my request to replace the board so I walked out, I didn't know what else to say. A call a few minutes later made everything clear to me. He said if I brought the board to him maybe we could work something out. He went on talking about how he lost money. That is not my problem, you decide your fee. If you cannot afford to work on it anymore then tell the customer. I would've paid for more diagnostic time but we are well past that now. Even though he very well may honor me with a new board, I refuse to accept it. I am beyond frustrated, and my trust is broken. If he was honest with me from the beginning this would be a much different story, but that is not the world we live in.

My friend, who had just moved to NY, called me telling me that the laptop I had setup for her had…read morecompletely stopped working. I spent several hours on the phone with her trying absolutely anything I could think of. With limited options at that point, I did some quick research and found PC Med Center which was very close to her house. Not knowing if they were going to give good service, or scam her, or what, I crossed my fingers and told her to take it there. A few days later she called me to thank me for the recommendation. Apparently it was just a single loose wire, which they were able to identify and fix. They did not overcharge her for what ended up being a fairly simple fix. Props to them for being able to identify the problem so quickly, and not trying to scam her!

When returning laptop to me he told me he had it all apart and would reassemble in about 20 minutes. Well 1 minute later he gave everything back to me. This is how i know he did jack shit As far as people giving him 5 star reviews i wouldn't be surprised that the names were made up and they posted themselves If he had done right by me i would have given him some more business. However since doing nothing and lying to my face i have warned these people to stay away!

That's what separates the fly-by-nights from businesses which have been around for 30+ years. I recently damaged my flatscreen 32" LED TV, which is only a year old. Rather than buy another new one, I figured I'd try getting this one repaired. I called Mcvey Electronics twice around lunchtime, got an answering machine both times, and didn't leave a message. He took the initiative to call me back anyway, seeing that I had called, to see if he could help me with anything. Try getting Walmart or another big business to call you back. That shows quality, personable service. I spoke with the gentleman regarding the problem with my TV and explained that there was an impact strike beneath the LED screen. He was honest and up front, explaining that I could buy a new TV for around the same price it'd cost to repair this one. He could've attempted to repair it and charged me hundreds of dollars, but instead he chose to give me honest advice - and probably cost himself a repair job in the meantime. I am an electronics and radio enthusiast. I'll use Mcvey Electronics for any repair work that I ever need done, simply because his response time was fast and because he had the integrity to save me from a costly repair.
