Help in the Time of Crisis!…read more On a recent business trip I had the horrible experience of having my external hard drive becoming unreadable/corrupted! Not knowing any better, I made an appointment with the "Geek Squad" at Best Buy, who qouted me $500-$2000 for an "advanced repair ATTEMPT"?!?!!? Distraught, I came to Altex and was quickly greeted by Matt and the store manager Jacob Wiese. Explaining my problem, they offered to attempt repair for a nominal charge- how reassuring! Jacob broke down the concepts of disc drives and solid state drives into terms I could understand [thank you!] - so I immediately purchased a new portable solid state drive. I left my "broken" hard drive with them- feeling much more confident in their skills. Within 2 days they called to inform me they were able to access the data and transfer it to the new SSD! While I am impressed with their technical expertise, I am MORE grateful for their kind, patient, customer-friendly demeanor- helping those of us who are novices and helplessly lost. My job as a professional nurse has been to help explain medical terms/procedures to patients who are confused and anxious. What a wonderful experience to meet computer professionals who are willing to help do the same thing when an anxious customer comes in. I have definitely found my place for "all things compute" in San Antonio. Thank you all so much for sharing your expertise and your kindness Respectfully, Dr. Laurie Singel Schertz, TX

Yelp to the rescue: A reviewer commented that Randy at SA Tech Deals is honest. I called him, sent him a photo of my laptop and the model number and he explained to me why he could not repair it (unavailability of one of the parts needed). He also gave me advice on brands to consider, based on his history with repairs. He answered my question about whether buying refurbished models is a good idea. He had suggestions on buying affordable refurbished laptops. 10-stars! He had nothing to gain by taking the time to help me. Now THAT is exactly what honesty looks like. I'll use this shop for any tech repairs I need. Honesty wins every time!

Maaaaan if I could upload screenshots I would. Dude was cool at first even though I was warned…read more Dropped my CP off mid Feb (definitely after vday) and because I would bring other devices in and everything was cool with communication before, I never thought it would become an issue for him to call me when ready. When March came I started calling and texting and he would ever so often reply. One phone call he out of nowhere mentioned about a deposit... never had to pay one before. I asked for a price and he said he would call me back with a percentage being that he didn't know how much it would cost. Ok so let's fast forward past the unanswered text messages and me coming to the shop with the open light on, to where now I'm having to call from other number. For some reason the two number he knew of would ring one and go to vmail. I call from a different one and he called it back and... SURPRISE I want my things now. He told to come, but I knew if I did he wouldn't open. So he returned it when a family member came as of 5/7/22 , but didn't give me my cored. I called once again to see if he could have it at the door and my number still blocked. He wouldn't answer the door until somebody else came and then proceeded to TRY and ignore me. So I voiced I that i dropped my CP off with a cored, and then of course customer service manners where out the window. He bought up every excuse which didn't make sense. I've BEEN trying to track my shit because I wanted to know a price before he started. Then he told me I never gave a deposit, which I never was told how much it was. Then with the same breath, I'm blowing up his phone because he has things going on in his life. Dude, all I wanted was for you to communicate the price back then. Never neglected my property and never had an issue with any price he threw at me. I respected his art. Then to try and make it seem like I'm petty for wanting MY CORED! It's ridiculous that I want my cored, but you out here ducking and dodging to make sure and keep ppls property. I'll sell it to you though and don't let management have you looking messy on here .
