Repair Quality

Pros:

  • "They really did go the extra mile to help me, as they first of all immediately recovered the presentation for me so worst case scenario i could use it on another machine."

  • "The work was done to a really high standard and looked great when it was finished."

Cons:

  • "Useless, the first supposed fix made the computer worse."
  • "It took around 5 weeks for me to get the laptop back, broken still."
  • "On top of that I asked him about the guaranteed repair that he stated, and he said that no one ever said that which was a lie."
  • "They broke my front camera and my screen display wasn’t the same as it was before."
  • "They say its a psu problem. Turns out its more then a psu problem so they didnt look at it properly."
  • "Brung a graphics card to be fixed... after almost a month they said it had failed."
  • "Avoid this place as they have done a very poor job."

Price and Value

Pros:

  • "The price was far less than I expected too and certainly far less than a new PC!"
  • "James has fixed our computer system for years at very reasonable costs."
  • "Very quick service, reasonable prices and great customer service."
  • "They were also very reasonably priced."
  • "They offer a fair price."
  • "All at a very reasonable price."
  • "The prices were very affordable, that even students would see them as reasonable compared to the high prices i was expecting to pay and quoted from other places."

Cons:

  • "I paid £65 for this, it was such a waste and I’m never going back there again."
  • "Told my mother that her motherboard is dead and they cannot even power the laptop."
  • "It was finally agreed that they would back everything up and reload all of our personal information... most of our documents were missing."
  • "Although I spoke with the manager about my disappointment of spending a lot more than £100 I end up with a broken laptop."
  • "My laptop still cuts out. My usual place charges £15 for a diagnosis fee and discounts it off any repair.. This place has cost me twice that."
  • "Apple wanted £1000 to replace the whole motherboard but 19 Computing charged me barely over 10% of that."
  • "I was given an extremely reasonable price which i was more than willing to have payed."
