My Lenovo laptop went kaput and I was looking for a place to repair it. I remembered Click Away and…read morerealized they have a location on Winchester at Latimer so I called them. The professional representative was eager to help with anything and ensured a free diagnostic.. I totally understand the need to charge for more in depth diagnostics. I am appreciative for your honesty. I hope it won't be a major fix but if it is I am prepared for the outcome and trust your knowledge and recommendations. I used you in the past but the location on McGlincy was out of the way. Now I am happy you are in the Downtown Campbell area . I will be happy to update my review after the diagnostic and even if I don't have it repaired I will work with you and hope to find a good laptop with all my specifications. Remember you should always have a phone number of a reputable repair shop that has remote service available. Patrick called me and said it would be $200 for advanced diagnostics and he suggested to go along with it rather than buying a new laptop. This is always a good question to ask is it worth fixing?

My Nintendo Pro Controller NFC reader (for amiibo) stopped working and Nintendo basically told me…read morethey wouldn't fix it. I really do not want to treat electronics like they are disposable so I searched for a local repair on yelp and found ClickAway. Pros: They responded to my query right away (I sent my request after close and they got back to me asap the following day) They were polite and professional and asked me to bring it in for a free diagnostic so they could see exactly what it needed and if they could fix it. They had a 24 hour turn around, which they stuck to. Cons: They were not able to fix it, because Nintendo just isn't making the part available. (not taking a star off for that, cause that's on Nintendo) The ADA spot in the lot is on the the opposite side of the building from the entrance, The only reason I am not taking a star off for that is the way the closest spots are aligned in a steep stagger, it still leaves room to wrangle mobility aids in and out of the vehicle. It would be nice if one of them was reserved for ADA, because the building is long and the walk from the ADA spot to the front door is a bit of a haul if you are walker-ing or walking with a cane. Over all the crew was really professional and helpful, and I plan on taking my other tech issues to them in the future. HIGHLY recommend them. One tip though, Google Maps is not giving accurate instructions (at the time of this review) on how to get to them. They are going to try and make you make the world's dumbest u-turn, so for reference, it's across latimer from the KFC on winchester, and the lot entrance is to the left of the building as you face it from winchester, it's small and easy to miss, so be careful.

Glad that the delay helped me avoid further loss with this unreliable KY electronics. Unfortunately, although the diagnosis result was a complete error. I was not refunded for the diagnosis fee. Edit: The business owner replied saying that my job was on May 29, 2024, which is completely false. I wasn't even at the Bay Area during that time. Either he intentionally mixed me up with someone else or simply made up the story. Apparently, I have no point of making up a negative review if being satisfied as the customer, but the business owner has full motivation to respond to negative reviews by making up stories when he cannot reasonably dispute it, and it seems he has been doing it for many other reviews as well.

During the visit, Mike also asked about the screen, which had been replaced a few years ago at a different location (which I won't name).

Mike replaced it with a proper screen, and now the phone feels like new--perfect for my daughter to keep using. Since he did such a great job on my wife's phone, I decided to go ahead and replace the battery on my own iPhone (12 Pro Max) as well, since it was down to 69% maximum capacity. That's why I'd definitely recommend Mike and his shop to anyone who needs device repairs or parts replaced. He's honest and will let you know whether a repair is actually worth it.

Kat also does a great job of making her students feel comfortable when practicing/performing. Not easy to do, especially for singing! Her dog Fiona is also a great buddy to have for lessons :) My only complaint is that because I've improved so much under Kat, my family makes me sing for them as much as possible!

When my daughter, Christina, met her they hit-it-off right away. I was skeptical about getting a singing coach for my daughter at such a young age, but I knew Christina had something special. I met with Jessica, and after an assessment with Christina, they began their journey together. Jessica started slowly with the basics and gradually progressed with Christina as fast as Christina could pick up the lessons. Christina will be 19 yrs old this year, and she and Jessica are still partners in voice and music. Jessica is what I would call, and I've seen another one of her client's call her the "Voice Whisperer." Jessica can listen to you sing and not only know whether the note was right, but she can tell what your throat, vocal cords, tongue, and everything else was doing when you hit that note the way you did. Jessica truly understands the instrument called "voice." She is also well verse, experienced, and connected in the music industry. She has taken my daughter's very raw talent and helped to nurture it, mature it, and polish it to a professional level. If you work with Jessica she is going to push you and challenge you to rise to a professional level... she is not a high school music teacher... Jessica is a pro, has high standards, and she will drive her clients to professional levels too. Jessica is also one of the most professional business women I've met. There are no surprises with Jessica, and as a business woman myself I really appreciate that. I've always know what I was getting in vocal coaching services from her, and she also made sure I understood what was expected of Christina and me (Mom.) Our relationship is have turned into a very strong one and I rely on Jessica for all things music when it comes to my daughter, Christina. Jessica is also just good people! There have been occasions where we needed advice when my daughter started getting move advanced as a singer and started getting into other competitions and high profile performance opportunities. Jessica would advise, counsel, and if she knows, she would share inside secrets to help Christina to position herself for the greatest success possible. I love Jessica like a family member now. Christina loves Jessica so much. You will get more than just vocal coaching from her. You'll get a mentor, a counselor, a teacher, an encourager, a supporter, and vocal ability you never thought you had.

I visited the shop regarding a possible truss rod issue on a guitar after being advised to have it checked out at an authorized Fender repair shop. Despite no longer doing any guitar service requests, Keith agreed to take some time out of his busy and backlogged schedule to take a look. There was some debris packed in the truss rod nut. Keith was able to clean it out, verify it worked properly and check that the given truss rod tool was the correct fit. I really appreciate his taking the time to work on something that he no longer provides service for. The old electronics setup made me smile and remember some of my college days in lab classes. I would definitely bring an amp in for service here, regardless of the wait time. read more
