Hal was great! He fit me in on the same day I called. It took him 5 minutes to fix the mess I'd…read moregotten myself into. And at a very reasonable charge. I've already recommended him to friends. I found my new computer guy if I ever have anymore problems.

You may remember a few years back here in Indy when Computer Renaissance seemed set to be a…read moremini-chain of computer repair and sales stores. Somewhere along the way, certain folks involved in the project parted ways with a Castleton location becoming what I believe is now called Computer Express and this location on Pendleton Pike laying claim to the actual Computer Renaissance name. I'd had a not terrific experience with the Castleton location and also with another small computer store in the Castleton area, so the first time I popped into this store 3-4 years ago I was more than a little hesitant. I was preparing to head out on the road and would be traveling a couple hundred miles by wheelchair. I wanted a laptop that would endure and allow me to stay in touch with folks while on the road. Even though it was only a few days before I left, the folks at Computer Renaissance hooked me up with a fairly priced used Dell laptop along with a wireless adapter. They gave me a great deal on a computer that lasted for quite awhile. They answered all my questions and got me all set up for the road. Early this morning, my monitor died and I was in the middle of a pretty important project. So, I headed back to Computer Renaissance to see what kind of a deal I could find on a new or used monitor. Computer Renaissance is located in Sunnyside Shoppes in one of several strip centers in the area. It's easily visible from Pendleton Pike an even has an accessible parking spot with a ramp right in front of it. You go into their double doors and there's a service counter to the left and a showroom with mostly used models on the floor along with all the usual ancillary supplies one usually finds in a computer store including monitors, keyboards, motherboards, etc. Computer Renaissance carries desktops, laptops, notebooks, etc. They do computer repair in store or they will do housecalls ($50 for a service call, $85 for the first hour). HP, Dell and Lenovo Business-Grade laptops start at $199 (Lenovo actually starts at $149). The have Windows 10 Pro Desktops starting at $399 and Windows 10 Pro Business-Grade Desktops starting at $199. I saw an IMac 2 for right around $349 tonight (I was way tempted) and I can easily say they have something to fit just about any budget. You always want to check their website as they're usually running specials and sometimes you need to mention it to get it (for example, they have a winter special - 15% of all used desktops, 10% off all used laptops, but you have to mention the special. While the monitor that died on me was an HD monitor, I wasn't necessarily concerned about buying another one right away. They had a couple of brand new, in the box HD monitors. I've noticed that their new products do tend to run at market rates. Instead, I opted to look for a wider-screen monitor. Tonight, the widest they had was 20" - they had two ready to go and I found one that seemed perfect. It ran $59 plus tax. Most of their used monitors are rated by screen size. The prices, I've found, are fair but also reflect the fact that they do serious quality control on their merchandise. I trust these guys to not sell me junk. So far, I've not been disappointed. They added in the cables I'd need, which I think is pretty good since we're talking about used products here. One of the employees even carried it to the car for me. They take cash and credit (with ID - and they do ask for it). They do not take checks. If you're on a budget or in a time crunch, Computer Renaissance does quality work at fair prices for both selling of equipment and computer repair. While I've not had a computer repaired there, a friend has and her experience was similar to mine. They're always friendly, willing to answer questions, can typically handle rush repairs and don't try to upsell just to make a bigger profit. I'm happy and I'll definitely keep going back.

It has been just a week since I updated my review of Best Buy based upon my misadventures buying a…read morerefrigerator from them followed by purchasing haul away and installation services. While I had no plans to update my review, as the experience has finally wound down I decided it was appropriate to write a review based upon the entire process now that my old refrigerator is, in fact, hauled away and my new refrigerator is kinda sorta installed. As I'd noted, I'd had a poor experience eight years ago and since then have sworn off Best Buy despite an affection for the company from an experience interviewing with them many years ago. My refrigerator died not long before Labor Day. I'd never had to deal with replacing an appliance. However, I needed to get done fairly quickly since food was going bad and so were some medicines. I looked around. My space in my home isn't the greatest and dimensions had to really be just right. That wasn't an easy task. I checked quite a few places. Best Buy was having Labor Day specials and I found a fairly simple fridge at a great price. I ordered it as it had nearly perfect dimensions for my space. I scheduled delivery and opted for the install and haul away package. So far, so good. The first attempt at haul away/install occurred over Labor Day weekend on Saturday. I received advance texts with clear directions on what to do prior to their arrival. They gave me a window of time a couple days from when I placed the order. They arrived on time. The unfortunate part begins with the discovery that the dead fridge was hooked into my waterline underneath my kitchen sink. Apparently, Best Buy drivers are not allowed to disconnect what takes about five minutes. We discussed options and it was agreed that I would call them to set up a revisit. Within the hour, I had the disconnect done and called to schedule a new time. They said I couldn't do it. Despite being told to do exactly this, I was told I had to wait until the end of their shift so that the lack of installation/haul away was in the system. I was literally still within my delivery time. Never mind that one rep had already called me about it. So, I was stuck with spoiled foods and spoiling medications. So frustrating. So simple to fix. I had the fridge ready to for hook-up, I had the old fridge ready to be hauled away. Instead, I had to wait and buy the time I was able to actually put the revisit in motion only the 3rd was available (I was even off an extra day on the 2nd, however, by that point it was clear they didn't care about me, my meds, my fridge, or anything but their bottom line. After an afternoon spent trying to get things arranged, my frustrations boiled over. I came close to simply canceling haul away/install and arranging for another person to do it. I came close to returning it. I finally rescheduled for today, my next day off. I received the same reminder call. I asked them to make sure to send the manual (they actually did. Yay.). The delivery team was here on time in my window of 1-5pm (they actually arrived around 1:20pm and called 10 minutes away). Another fun catch: In addition to being unable to disconnect a refrigerator from water, they also cannot reverse the hinge on a reversible hinge (which I needed for my wheelchair). So, if you're keeping score. Install and haul away is a waste of time and money. Don't use it. They have all kinds of limits that are not in writing and I've yet to experience anyone interested in actually helping. If you've read my reviews, you know I lean positive. Out of 1800+ reviews, I have about 16 1-star reviews. This is easily one of the worst retail experiences I've had and undoubtedly the end of my relationship with Best Buy. There's not a chance I will use them again. As I told their social media, even after the initial issues there was a great chance of fixing the problem and helping me feel good about it. Best Buy failed at every point and, worse to me, never seemed to care. Best Buy? Bye-bye.

Do not buy electronics from here, they will not last more than a few years and they will not…read morereplace it - even if you have the original receipt and method of payment.
