I have no doubt that Javier is a good parts installer, but unfortunately I cannot recommend his…read moreservices to anyone after dealing with him. I had known working mid to high end PC that I wanted to swap out the CPU and GPU with updated models. I've made many PCs before, but I ran into issues. I couldn't get it to post. After a month or so I lost faith in myself, which was the worst possible decision I could've made. I decided to bring it to JK Techs, thinking a man claiming to have 20+ years of experience would be better than gambling with Geek Squad, or taking it far away to someone else. I paid his diagnostic fee, which was admittedly cheap. However when he seemed to run out of ideas the computer would sit for weeks and weeks, while he complained about having other customers to work on. I get it, he needs to make money somewhere to keep the doors open, and time for parts shipments, but as time went on nothing much seemed to happen at all. I noticed it was difficult to reach the front desk. Some of my texts where unanswered and almost every time I called they would never pick up. Luckily I live within a few blocks but some of you may not be so fortunate. Eventually I had grown tired. Me and my Micro Center buddies had a lot of time to think. I decided I wanted machine back, and I picked it up the next day. At the end of my day I decided to take a look at it. I noticed immediately the unmistakable shine of not 1, but 2 bent pins in my CPU socket. At this point I was so frustrated. I did not want to go back, and I had experience with bent pins, so I documented the damage before attempting to fix it. I bent one back successfully, but upon further investigation a leg of the remaining pin was sheared, thus making irreparable trash. The next day I resolved to at least try to go there. I was graced with the presence of Javier, who doesn't seem to be there much. I showed him the bent pins. I explained to him that my board had no such bent pins before I gave it to him, which he tried to blame me for. He refused to accept the probability that they were bent in the store. I pointed out that a minute earlier that he claimed he would've noticed such a problem. Backed into a corner, he claimed he could try and bend the pins back, which I explained was impossible. He denied my request to replace the board so I walked out, I didn't know what else to say. A call a few minutes later made everything clear to me. He said if I brought the board to him maybe we could work something out. He went on talking about how he lost money. That is not my problem, you decide your fee. If you cannot afford to work on it anymore then tell the customer. I would've paid for more diagnostic time but we are well past that now. Even though he very well may honor me with a new board, I refuse to accept it. I am beyond frustrated, and my trust is broken. If he was honest with me from the beginning this would be a much different story, but that is not the world we live in.

I got a call back from Jonah, who's been a plumber for 19 years, and he spent a lot of time talking through the options. The valve is probably 12 years old and parts are difficult to get. While Jonah researched parts, I decided to work on it again, with a friend. Armed with Jonah's suggestions, I was able to fix the issue. Jonah was generous with his time and knowledge and I will definitely have him on my list for whatever I need in the future. Courteous, helpful, and experienced.

I spent several hours on the phone with her trying absolutely anything I could think of. With limited options at that point, I did some quick research and found PC Med Center which was very close to her house. Not knowing if they were going to give good service, or scam her, or what, I crossed my fingers and told her to take it there. A few days later she called me to thank me for the recommendation. Apparently it was just a single loose wire, which they were able to identify and fix. They did not overcharge her for what ended up being a fairly simple fix. Props to them for being able to identify the problem so quickly, and not trying to scam her!

So much so that I returned to have him to install a graphics card as well as a supportingp power supply unit. I purchase the power supply and graphics card from Best Buy the night before I make contact with Keith to inquire about a possible install. Keith informed me on the phone that he was more than capable of installing these components and to bring them by, which I did within a few hours of contacting him by phone. I received a phone call from him later that afternoon in which he stated that the computer would not power on after the install and that if he could not mitigate the problems that he will not charge me for services rendered in which I was very appreciative for his integrity. As we both could not figure out the problem( I am computer illiterate) he suggested that the possible issue could be the power supply and that Best Buy could possibly exchange it for a new one for it may be faulty and not admitting little/no power. I agreed and took the computer straight to Best Buy where are they quickly took the computer apart and noticed that Keith connected wires improperly causing my motherboard and CPU to short out and fry rendering it useless. The manager in for me and showed me where the wires were supposed to be connected and where placed in properly causing a fried out CPU and motherboard which can be very expensive to replace if you don't know as I didn't. Best Buy did not charge me for the investigative checks as he said in 20 years he has never seen anyone do something like this. He also stated that the power supply was the incorrect unit and that whoever installed the component should have immediately recognized it. (Again I am computer illiterate which is why I saught expertise). I quickly called Keith and notified him of my current situation in which he replied that he was sorry and that it was a mistake. No offering for reconciliation or contingencies to replace the mistake, just apolegetic. I I'm not going to take away from my initial review and say that Keith is operating Bad business, just simply stating how I am out of a brand new computer now. Take this purely as a precaution advisory before you have any internal or extensive work done and are opting to bringing your equipment here or any place like it. The part that sucks worse to me in this situation is not that I lost my computer, it's the information I had on my computer I had sentimental related details from my 3 deployments to Iraq as well as law enforcement memories and now I have to figure out how to get all of it back.
