Chicago Computer and Apple Repair by CompuTechs+

My Macbook Pro laptop died on me & the apple store wasn't able to repair it for me. They actually referred me to CompuTechs+ to perform data recovery on my hard drive and repair my machine (new hard drive AND installed my operating system, it was all covered under their flat-rate). The new part took about 2 days to arrive, and they even transferred my old data back onto my 'new' computer. Free pickup and drop off, too! more

My PowerMac G5 was on the fritz. Funny thing was that I was going to 'ignore' the problem and use my Macbook Pro until I found the time to get the PowerMac G5 fixed. That is, until my dog decided to run across my bed, sending my Mac laptop falling to the floor. The screen was OK, but the Macbook's glass had been shattered. Cripes. Now I was stuck without a machine. Who to call? I searched for apple repair in the Chicago area - And found that others had a good experience with this company CompuTechs+. They appear to have about 3-4 employees, have flat-rates for apple repair, and pickup and dropoff, free of charge. Not bad. Anyways, I got my both of my mac's back in 5 days - Fully functional (and CLEAN....I didn't even think it was my laptop when I opened the lid). I guess I felt like I wasn't being swindled by an auto-mechanic, as I do with most computer repair shops. CompuTechs+ (Aaron was the techs name who worked on my machine) called or emailed me every time they had an update, any time computer parts were necessary, and basically just made things clear to a non-geek such as myself. After two calls about my computers status - I realized that they weren't trying to screw me over (their parts prices are pretty much in-line with Worst Buy and Microcenter), I just told them to do what they had to do - And my bill was still less than I had calculated in my head. And then the tech arrived at my door, set the machines in my house, and here I am writing this review. Now if I can just find an auto-shop I can trust...... more

I needed my apple computer repaired and CompuTechs+ here in Chicago certainly met my needs. My machine was picked up promptly (which was free, by the way), and they had me back up and running a couple days later. I can't recommend CompuTechs enough, computer repair scares me as much as car repair, but they offered me a flat rate which helped me sleep a little better during the repair. Thanks again for the great computer repair, CompuTechs+, I will certainly be back. more
