Being a business owner, I reserve from posting any negative reviews on a business. I don't want to complain knowing the commitment we need to starting and building a business. Due to my negative experience, which was a costly expense I am obligated to say something. Overall, this is an issues that was dragged by the owner for months, which should have been satisfied in days. Added NOTE: Alex states I told him I could not pay for the services. We do not have any vendor which will agree. Mr. Alex, clearly you have financial challenges and need to take funds without providing services. Mr. Alex, I look forward to receiving all the documents supporting your assumption. I have all time and written documentation to support my Poor Review, I actually search Yelp for computer repair business. The reviews at the time were mixed and I tried to support a small business! Ongoingly, my experience has been horrible with Vellve System. I paid and contracted Vellve Systems to install a virus protection to our network of computers, fix one computer's routing of files on another computer that was running slow. Overall, EVERYTHING was not done or working worst prior to contracted. The slow running computer was supposedly fixed. When it was returned the touch screen ability was BROKEN!!!! He attempted to convivence me that it was broken when he picked up the computer, which is a LIE! When he picked up the computer to review the issues again he kept the computer for a MONTH without fixing it! The few times I was able to get someone on the phone I was told the computer as in pieces because they were doing a diagnostic. Overall, I kept calling, texting and emailing the owner (Alex), the store and staff to obtain the status of my devices. Sadly, NONE OF my texts were responded until I had to threaten my proposed next steps. The computer with the routing issues was never FIXED but was paid for. When I finally reached him; he stated there was no use to fix the computer because I need to add memory. If that is the case, why did I pay for him to fix it in the first place? NO Refund was given!!!! We paid to have a virus protection software installed. He did not give us our user access. We have been getting errors that the virus subscription has expired. I have contacted him on numerous occasions and still waiting for a response. He demanded payment in full UP FRONT. I paid to demonstrated my Integrity and expressed we were seeking ongoing support. I even discussed the negative reviews and he stated that was a consumer who could not be pleased. Now, I know I should have believed the reviews because this has been a horrible experience and payment for services NOT rendered. Payment: When I asked for him to justify the billing, he advised , that he rounded up the cost. Wait so he billed me for time not actually incurred. Who does that!!! Overall, the owner Alex comes across as a nice person. Alex needs to improve his business method. He takes people equipment, never available and leaves the work for his staff to do, which is inexperience!!! This was one of the worst experiences. I paid for services, which were not rendered. read more

This is the 2nd time I contacted Vellve systems for help & can't be more happier with results AGAIN!!!! 1st time I just needed to wipe off my old lap top that wasn't being used for years and just needed to bring it back to its workable condition - which was done in a time promised by Alex with very reasonable price. 2nd time, for some odd reason my lap top stopped working(bios & it wouldn't respond to ANYTHING), after diagnostic at Vellve's I was told HD is fried and all my data is lost. All the documents/invoices/bank statements & way more for both of my biz are gone along with my precious 2 year old daughters pictures and videos of her first 2 years of life( I had some of them stored in my other devices but not all of them). Alex fixed my lap top by replacing it's hard drive to a new one, which I picked up at the time when it was promised to me, but I was out of all my very important data, after going back and forth of different options I agreed for Alex to recover my data. He advised he had to order specific parts and it will take about 2 weeks, I just picked up my a hard drive from his shop today with all my data and most importantly with all of my daughters pics and videos & I can't be happier to have my life back & most importantly my daughters memories. Very well knowledgeable individual, he and his office staff are very friendly and helpful, have great communications & always gets the job done by the time promised. read more

I recently took my laptop here for service because my audio stopped working. Alex was the person who I had made aware of this issue. Over the next couple of weeks in finding a solution, Alex was able to identify exactly what was causing the audio issue and offer alternatives for resolving. He offered to replace the audio device or suggest I purchase a new laptop altogether since the one I had was over 6 years old and started to show signs of slowing down anyway. Alex gave me the choice of getting one from the shop or getting my own elsewhere. I decided to purchase my own laptop somewhere else and asked to have all my files transferred to this laptop from my old one. Alex was very flexible and open to all my preferences regarding my choice of laptop and what files I wanted transferred. Also, Alex has been very communicative and responsive throughout the 2+ week period while trying to get my issue resolved. He was straightforward in communicating the issues and presenting options. He is also open and flexible to my needs as a customer. I am very satisfied with the service provided at Vellve Systems and will definitely come back here for all my computer needs. I will also be glad to recommend this service to friends and family. read more

I used Vellve Systems last week when my laptop completely crashed after being dropped by accident . The screen was completely busted ,so busted that the wires from the inside were exposed The technicians told me upfront there may be a problem with the hard drive as well since it was dropped (apparently this is a common problem when you drop a computer) . Few hours later I received the diagnostic result to let me know my data was gone too since the hard drive got busted as well. I declined the service and told them I needed to get a 2nd or 3rd opinion, they didn't try to sell me anything and didn't charge me a dime for diagnosis, it was FREE. I took my laptop then to other places I found online and THEY ALL told me the same thing BUT none of them could retrieve my data when Vellve assured me they could do it in 1 or 2 days . I took it back to Vellve Systems , they retrieved my data which was mostly important to me and not the computer itself , they also gave me a deal on fixing the screen and the rest of the exposed wires. I will be using this company for any computer problems in the future and will highly recommend them with anyone I know read more

I am extremely happy with these folks at Vellve Computers. I called on a SUNDAY and they were open, I described my problem over the phone but of course there was nothing much to do until they had my PC. I have a Samsung all in one PC, it wouldn't give me any signals from the screen, vellve computers checked it out quickly and they told me they would have to call me later (I dropped it off at 1230pm sunday) 4 hours later they called and said my motherboard had gone bad because the system was running too hot, I approved their service with the quote they gave me ($150) They called again before they closed to let me know the the PC was ready and they could wait for me if I wanted to pick it up today (very good customer service) I picked it up quickly and they gave me some tips on this particular type of PC I have. I bought this PC 2 years ago and it was on sale for $900 so $150 for the repair was a lot better than buying another one. I will tell everyone I know for sure about this place, their customer service and techniques.. P.S. i had to call them for directions. Their store is in a corner of a small shopping center, a little hard to locate read more

I just picked up my laptop today, Friday, after dropping it off on Tuesday, and I have to write this review. After reading the other reviews of this company, and in particular, Alex the owner, I decided to give these guys a try instead of the "Big Blue Geek Guys" I've used in the past. Alex was the best. The minute I described my problem he knew what it was about 99% of the time with my computer model, and that was the problem.He did not charge to evaluate it, and if I had chosen not to fix it, then he would not have charged me.You can't get that anywhere. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and HONEST. He said let's do the lesser expensive repair to fix it, and if that didn't work, the we would have to repair the motherboard only then, and only then. I wanted to spend the money to replace the motherboard anyway, and he said no. It wasn't necessary and I would not have upgraded the performance by doing so. How many other computer repair shops would have told you not to do that. Alex is truly the BEST, not the "Guys in Blue". Go see these guys, you will save money and not be disappointed Jeff N. read more

This afternoon my MacBook Pro died because of an unfortunate accident with liquid damage. I took it to VellveSystems and had the techs over there have a look. Considering it's a free diagnosis I had nothing to loose. The moment I set foot in the door the staff was very helpful and listened to everything I had to say. They were also very knowledgeable! I was told the diagnosis would take anywhere between 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on the cause of issue. Which it was already considering I brought it in for liquid damage I wasn't expecting them to give a quick diagnosis. But I was really surprised that in just an hour they called me with a full diagnosis! I really liked that because I use my MacBook for work and I also pay bills with it so the sooner the better. I was told the keyboard and logic board were bad. Which made sense to me. I approved the service and they even had the parts in stock! To top it off they had it ready the next day which was splendid! Thank you guys so much for everything! My MacBook Pro runs like new! I recommend d VellveSystems It Services to everyone. read more

I was on a trip and dropped my HP laptop by accident. The laptop didn't open or close completely. I couldn't even get the computer to the long in screen. I was afraid I was going to lose all my family photos and a lot of work stuff. I took it to this computer shop and Daniel checked the hard drive to make sure it was safe. He said it wasn't reading but that didn't really mean anything since they can work around it sometimes. I left my laptop with them. Daniel called me back the next day letting me know they could fix the hard drive and also repair the screen, since it broke. He asked me to share screens from my computer at my house and his computer at his shop so I could make sure all the pictures I need were there. I checked them all and I was really happy he recovered them all. I was on the phone with him for a while and I really appreciated his patience. When I picked up my computer, it looked like new with all my stuff recovered. This computer shop knows what they're doing and I HIGHLY recommend them! Yaaay!! read more

Being without your work laptop nowadays is big nightmare . I was looking for a fast-service repair shop , I called several other places and non of them seemed to know what I was talking about or knew how to solve the problem. I called Vellve Systems and they transferred me to their network administrator Jim, the moment I started explaining my situation , he knew exactly what I was talking about . He suggested he could log in to my network using my laptop remotely instead wasting and waiting for someone to come to my home-office , Jim logged on, looked up the issue around my network settings for my modem and router, got me up and running again without all the headaches (connectivity issues ) I was having. This company is now on my top 5 in general in the Charlotte community . It seems the bigger the companies are , the less knowledgeable and the less they care about their customers ! Not these guys.. I highly support locally owned businesses such as this read more

This place is absolutely amazing! I dropped my brand new HP Envy 360 laptop two months after buying it and broke the screen. I failed to purchase insurance on it and was stuck with paying for the repairs (a lesson that I will not soon forget). HP and other local computer repair shops quoted almost as much as I paid for the laptop. Vellve was much less and they did an outstanding job replacing the screen and lid. They kept me up-to-date and the status of the repair. It took them longer to fix it than they anticipated due to changes with the digitizer. However, they did not charge me more than what they quoted me! That's right, they told me that the initial work would take between 1-2 hours but took six hours but no additional charge. They were friendly and apologetic. The laptop has been returned to it's previous condition and for that I am so thankful. read more

Extremely happy with the service I just received . I spilled wine all over my mac and this happened when I needed it the most - I had many papers due the next day for work so I was very concerned. Alex and his team checked out my laptop as soon as I brought it in, he explained to me what was going to happen and gave me many options to choose from , he didn't try to sell me a service I didn't need, he was SUPER patient with me and spent at least 1 hour talking to me and giving me different options . At the end of the day we decided to fix the mac even though he explained exactly what could happen in the future . He could've sold me the service just to get the money and be done with it but instead, he made sure I understood what my options were and ultimately be happy with the service . I have just found the only computer company I trust read more

Alex made a visit to my house to determine why I was not getting a good Wi-Fi signal in part of my house, and he was able to quickly assess the problem and addressed it immediately. Even before we had a contract he helped me navigate Time Warner Cable and provide immediate help. He and his technician were back within a few days to help me install a secondary router, while maintaining my existing home office set up. Also, right after the technician left, I experienced a minor problem, called Alex for assistance and he sent his tech right around to come straight back to my house. Poor guy - I think he might have been late for dinner that night! Very happy with Alex, his recommendations and the service at Vellve Systems. Our Wi-Fi works so fast now - happy household. read more

I brought in an older MacBook Pro after spending hours at the Genius Bar trying to resolve a keyboard issue that we thought was a software issue. The Apple Store guys recommended another "certified" repair shop but I had used that shop previously and looking at reviews, it didn't look like they had gotten any better. After reading some nice reviews on this place, called them up to check they were knowledgeable on MacBooks. They were and I could tell in that phone call this was a good place to have them check my laptop out. Excellent decision. Narrowed down my issue soon after bringing the laptop in. A week later I was up and running after they replaced my keyboard and at a very reasonable repair cost! Great customer service and I am very happy. Highly recommend! read more

This is the place to go if you are having any sort of computer emergency. Locally owned, trustworthy, and fast service. I had stored a ton of photos on a personal dell laptop that crashed randomly in the middle of edits. After asking around, Vellve System's laptop repair came highly recommended for data recovery and was able to completely recovery all of my data under a deadline that Best Buy couldn't meet. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my data recovery, and I appreciate their responsiveness. The initial diagnostic was free, and the actual service was performed in an incredibly timely matter. If you're looking for fast and professional laptop repair service and data recovery in Charlotte these are your guys. They are truly life savers! read more

This company gets 5 stars from me. I have had a home business for over 20 years and have dealt with a multitude of different computer installation and repair companies. Vellve Systems is far superior to any of these companies I have dealt with in the past. I had a major issue on a Sunday, and they responded within an hour. I was up and running again in no time. I was shocked at the level of skill and responsiveness. Because of their excellent level of service I purchased additional equipment at excellent prices. This was also all on-site service. They go above and beyond for their customers, which is something that is rare these days. Needless to say, I give them the highest recommendation possible. read more

After doing so much research with reviews , BBB and other websites, I finally decided to give these guys a try. I was looking to hire a local I.T. department for my new business. They have setup our new server for our store with all 5 computers and printers, they've also fixed our 2 laptops that we thought they were ready to be trashed , they said "NO, we can fix them and make them new again" well , they sure did and that saved me at least $800 since we didn't have to buy more laptops . They helped us with our Quick books setup and we're able to work remotely in case my husband can't make it to the store! this company deserves to get a 5 star rating!! They are our new and forever I.T. department !! read more

I was recommended to this company for some IT problems we had around our office. The tech first came to our location for a free evaluation, he checked our all of our servers and network environment at NO CHARGE (unlike other companies we called around, they wanted to charge us a fee just to come out) . We finally pulled the trigger few weeks later and hired them as our IT department. Alex and his team have been working on our servers and machines for over a month now, they have upgraded from basic computers to firewalls and internet security systems. Their pricing is right and turn around time is always fast and efficient. We recommend Vellve Systems for all your IT problems read more

Cheaper than Apple and great communication My Macbook Pro had a problem not powering on and the team at Vellve fixed the issue without a problem. Communication was great and they informed me the part was going to take a while to get since it is not a new computer, they kept informing me every other day as soon as they heard back from their supplier. When the part arrived, they called me to let me know I could pick up my laptop in 3 hours. I had taken it to the Apple store originally and their quote was $200 higher than these guys, and they'd have to ship my computer some where for 2 or 3 weeks ( I wasn't comfortable with that) I'm glad I found Vellve Computer repair shop read more

Laptop Repair by Vellve Systems was a heaven send and really saved the day! I made an appointment for Sunday (no one else was open today - except for this company). We have an old laptop and because of the an issue we lost most of the pics from our wedding last week - and we didn't even get to see them yet. We made an appointment and brought the laptop in the afternoon and within less than 30 minutes they recovered all of the lost files from the our bad hard drive. We confirmed that we able to recover 100% of all lost wedding pictures and everything was there, my wife and I were incredibly relieved. Excellent service and superb work! Thank you again so much. read more
