From the start, they were impressive. They quickly recognized the issues and clearly explained the process required to rectify them, including a necessary site visit to confirm my hardware and current setup. Once that was complete, they collaborated with me to develop a solid game plan. When the day arrived for the network exchange, they went above and beyond all expectations. I am incredibly grateful for their dedication, positive attitude, and willingness to explain every step along the way. Great job, guys! Sincerely, Tye

My computer crashed, and I was absolutely terrified that I had lost all of my crucial work files. While I do back up my data, I hadn't properly backed up my most current files from 2025--and I desperately needed them. I initially sent my drive to a different company that advertised a 96% success rate, but they ultimately failed and told me they couldn't recover anything. Refusing to give up, I went to Robert for a second opinion. It was the best decision I could have made. Robert was able to recover everything. Data recovery is definitely not cheap, but honestly, his service was worth every single penny.

As a photographer, I sometimes photograph female models who might be skimpily dressed. My computer is very important to me, as it is a vital tool in my business. I have a Lenovo desktop computer that after a year, windows 7 would crash on me constantly. For a low monthly fee, I would call Lenovo customer support and had them remotely work on my computer. Finally they decided that they could do no more over the phone or Internet, and they told me to take it to the nearest repair shop to be further diagnosed. Since AB was close by, that is where I went. They took their time greeting me at the counter, and they DID NOT do a diagnostic check in front of me as they've evidently done for others writing reviews here. It was a Friday, and they were too busy, which I understood that they needed to keep my computer over the weekend. I was stressed out and perhaps seemed out of sorts to them, as I made mistake in writing down the password for them. Within minutes, I came back in flustered and told them that I had given them the wrong password. I then gave them the correct one and left. So Monday I call and ask what they found, and that person at AB Computer told me that they are unable to repair my computer and to come pick it up. It seemed odd to me, but he also wanted to know how soon I would be there. Sure enough, a sheriff meets me at the entrance. He tells me that he has my computer and wants to talk with me about it. Apparently someone who works at AB Computer saw some images that disturbed them. The sheriff was quite nice, and showed me some of the images found of females in bikinis or lingerie that looked "young" to an untrained eye, but they are all over 18. He wanted to take the computer to the station and search some more. I gave him permission to do so. A short time later, he calls me to pick up the computer. The models were all over 18. However, there wasn't even any nudity, nor was there any pornography (adult or otherwise) to be found. That quickly became a closed investigation the same day. The sheriff told me never to use AB Computer again, and I am complying with his strong advice in that regard. Then I went back to getting remote servicing with Lenovo tech support, and they determined that the harddrive in my computer was going out. I'm proud to say that I replaced the harddrive myself, putting a new one I bought for far less than if I had my computer repaired at that AB Computer. I am writing this review on that very same computer. I'll never go back there!
