Several weeks ago, while visiting Santa Fe, my computer failed. Dead as a doornail. Yes, it was an…read moreolder computer with many miles and files, and I used it every single day to run a community radio station back home. I took it to the nerd guys, who all but laughed at me. Although it was a brand they sell, it was "too old" for them to even look at. I asked if there was anyone in Santa Fe who might be able to help, and they assured me they could not recommend anyone. So, I retreated to the parking lot to see if the Google gods could help me find anyone in Santa Fe. As I was getting in my car, one of the nerd guys walked up and said that while he couldn't recommend someone to help me, I might check out the folks at Santa Fe Computer Works as they'd been in business there for many years and he'd "heard good things" about them. That was one more idea than I'd had before, so decided to check them out. They have great Google reviews, and an A+ rating at the Santa Fe BBB. So, on Monday morning, I took my dead computer to see if there was any hope. No appointment, no reservation. Shop looked like what I would hope a working computer repair place would look like... lots of parts, monitors, laptops, etc. They tried a couple of obvious things (power cable, reset, etc.), and said it seemed to be motherboard issue, but they'd like to keep it and work on it. I explained that I was from out of town, only there several days, and was frantic to get back to my radio station monitoring/updating. Nelson said he would see what they could do, within my time constraints, and would keep me apprised as to progress. Well, they were amazing. Turns out that the motherboard was dead, but my hard disk was intact. To replace that motherboard would require more time than I was going to be in Santa Fe as it had to be ordered. It's an expensive part, since there is high-end video on the motherboard. The battery also had a bulge in it, although that was not the critical item nor would it have to be immediately replaced. This computer was new in early 2017, and had been a workhorse, and had definitely seen a full life. However, I was not thrilled with the prospect of replacing it with a new one at this time... what a PITA that is - reinstalling software, trying to make sure all data was taken off the SSD, etc. Nelson gave me a few options... do nothing, order a new motherboard & they could ship my computer to me, or he could get my hard disk working in another laptop. I opted to have the hard drive put in a laptop that he had... not the same brand, but comparable in memory, size, etc. He asked to keep it another day, and would get it working for me at a very reasonable cost. As promised, the replacement laptop was ready for pick up the next afternoon. I've been using it every day to keep the community radio station running, and it has been running like a top! They were meticulous with replacing all of the hardware drivers so I've had zero issues with those. I'm still running Windows 10, and will get a new laptop (but on my timetable when I'm not frantic to get it working. I highly recommend Santa Fe Computer works. They were very honest with their recommendations, great with communicating, and fixed my computer on the timeline stated. I was in a real bind, and they helped me beyond measure. Oh, they also have a couple of really cool pups!

They asked what I wanted and then informed me that they do not work on everyday computers. They only do work for businesses.

Took in my 2019 iMac for a free diagnosis. I'm a techie and had an idea what was wrong, but they checked other possibilities, backed up the account on the machine to avoid accidental loss, and spent literally hours pursuing the problem, which turned out to be a hardware failure. 2) They gave me a quote for the repair, but it was too high for my budget. In fact this was going to be a spare Mac, since I just got the new Mac Studio, so I don't really need it and wasn't ready to spend that much. I could understand why the price was high: iMacs from that year aren't made to be repaired. I dislike Apple's closed architecture (literally closed in this case), but that's the way they are. 3) I declined the repair and took the iMac home. No charge, no hard feelings. The people there couldn't have been nicer.
