While I'm usually the techy in our home, occasionally I get stumped and have to call in backup…read more Fortunately for me, I stumbled upon The Computer Mechanic in Schenectady! Before I get into it, let me give you some background... In my home, an annual trend has slowly formed with the simple phrase, "Something happened to my computer". It started with a pricey Macbook, where liquid was accidentally spilled onto the device. The Apple store happily offered a fix that cost nearly as much as a new computer -- which led to me purchasing a newer Macbook -- only to have the motherboard die 9 months later with another hefty $800+ fix. So now we have significantly less expensive, and oddly more powerful Chromebooks! Well the other day, the same chilling phrase echoed in my home, "Something happened to my computer". I researched and tried everything I could find online, positive that I was following the right directions, but to no avail. So I decided to seek outside help (!sacrilege!) and came upon The Computer Mechanic's Google Maps result and website. I filled out the online form, and within minutes, I had a short and to the point response. It was after hours, so the next day I hopped into my car and drove over. Being an 80's Nerd myself, the business was exactly what I had hoped it would be. Quiet, lots of computers and parts everywhere, a beautiful wall of old motherboards, and uncomfortably bright glow of several monitors. The guy behind the counter took the Chromebook and said, "when do you want it back by?" To which I replied, "when could it be done? I mean, I have no idea how long it will take." He said, "it shouldn't take too long", and it was late afternoon, so I suggested the following day. Then I confirmed that I provided my email and phone number on the webform and left. The next day, I emailed to check in, and they said it was read. I showed up, cracked a few jokes that didn't seem to land, swiped my Credit Card, and was out the door in minutes. In all honesty, these guys were really great and seemed to know what they were doing. They were even running their "Wipe & Reload for $60" special, so it cost practically nothing compared to places like Geek Squad. It's definitely a no-frills experience. But when you just want to get your computer back up and running, without being upsold on a bunch of garbage you don't need, this winds up being the absolute best type of experience one could hope for. And because it was so inexpensive, I can afford to go to The Computer Mechanic instead of wasting hours trying to figure it out myself. The next time I'll absolutely be back for my annual, "Something happened to my computer" pilgrimage.

When IT manager/web designer started looking like my newest hat, I drew the line and reached out for support. For months I had been fretting over how I would tackle a growing list of needed updates (both urgent and cosmetic). Within a couple of hours of executing our contract, Cliff had moved our site, applied patches, updated content, and sent over design options related to a few requests on my "nice to have" list. I was amazed! Bringing GoatCloud on to support our business has been one of the best investments we've made this year.

I really didn't want to have to write this review, because Justin is such a nice guy; however, I…read morecontacted him in January to print and wrap a canvas for me. He quoted me $100 and came to my house and picked up the canvas stretcher I already had. He said it wouldn't take too much time. I've spoken with him a few times since then, and he insists he'll get my canvas done...but it's now almost May and now he is unreachable when I call him, email him and text him. I've left messages saying I just want to pick up the canvas stretcher and move on and find someone else to complete my project, but it seems he's been leading me on for four months now and ghosting me. I am sorry to say this business is completely unprofessional, will not get your job done and owes me a stretcher canvas. I am happy to remove this negative review if my project is completed, as promised. Unhappy customer, Tara C.

Casey and I started working together at a critical moment just as things were ramping up with my business and although it was exhilarating, I was feeling absolutely overwhelmed. She is the reason I have held the organization together with a clear head and a solid sense of leadership and VISION. Casey guides me to stay in touch with the core vision and how it may be changing as well as drill down to the details to take steps toward realizing that vision. Before working with Casey, looking back it just seems like I was making near-sited decisions and was in a bit of a hamster wheel as far as reaching my greater vision for the business. After the start of my work with Casey, my business and my relationship to my work is completely different. I feel EMPOWERED where I used to feel excited but ultimately overwhelmed. This empowerment has lead to consolidating 5 years of dreaming into a business pitch for my bigger vision that I presented this month. A huge milestone. With Casey's powerful guidance, my dream has turned reality and my business is not only THRIVING but has become a way for me to thrive personally through (as I have learned through my time with Casey) always cultivating a nurturing relationship with my work. My business is my way of giving my love to the world, Casey gets this. She sees me. I needed that in a coach. I cannot recommend Casey more highly. She is a coach who will hear you and always guide based off of what YOU want in your core. And when she writes copy for you, your jaw will drop/ you might cry a little - she gets your vision and did some magic to make it come to life with some seriously potent words that are basically money on the first draft so you can just drop the mic, skip editing and get on with being a badass boss woman!

Oh, boy.

We had a serious problem with getting our mail delivered when we first arrived in town, and while the supervisory staff was attentive and polite, it did not get resolved until i'd had to visit at least three times. I'm not sure it was entirely resolved. If there's one thing, ONE THING, you want from your local post office, it's that they deliver your mail reliably. I do not have a big trust factor built up on that front as yet. And as far as preserving the business in the future, this and all POs have to develop a more positive customer service attitude at the counter. The clerks here are all polite, efficient, and professional, but they all seem to wear permanent sour expressions and address you like they're selling funeral services instead of stamps. The particular location is small, clean, and modern, has none of the charm of old style post offices but is at least not as depressing as some of the tired 1960s counter-based POs I've been in. That said, it's not inviting as a place to browse for shipping services; there are not a lot of work spaces or elbow room for managing your packages. There is a drive-through drop-off at this location (enter to the east on the one-way, and loop around to the exit) although it's worth noting the drop-off mailbox blocks other traffic, which is probably frustrating during peak times. I've been in towns, some of them fairly large, where the Post Office remained a sort of civic center and meeting place, and this isn't one of them. I've also seen a few, just a few, PO locations where they seem to emphasize customer service over the glum remnants of government bureaucracy. This also is not one of those. A very sad rating of mediocre/average from me. I can hope for better for this location and for the Postal Service as a whole.
