Took my brand new computer I custom built in to have them look at it. I could not get anything to display on monitor after windows failed to boot. I knew this was probably a driver issue and would be a simple fix. I dropped it off only to have a call 30 minutes later to be told my motherboard was toast and I had a bad ram stick. I knew right away I needed to have a second opinion when the young lady that helped me couldn't even really tell me how she came to this conclusion.
Also charged me $48 dollars and must not have tried very hard. I then left and went to somewhere else and found out there was nothing wrong with the computer at all. They finished the windows install while I waited and then even ran benchmark tests to make sure everything was running as it should. They had great customer service and only charged me $20.

Walked into this dungeon of an establishment looking for a simple cable. Finally after standing there waiting for awhile, someone crawled out of the back cave to help us. We asked the lady if they had it and all she said was "no". Fantastic. While Jeff Bezos is a flaming liberal and a fool, I understand why people choose to shop on amazon and get their product the next day, rather than shopping local. Would also recommend bringing a flashlight if you choose to shop here as they do not believe in lighting.

Came in today to get my laptop looked at (power port likely loose, frequently failing to charge). Kid looks at it, turns it on (NOT NECESSARY for checking power), then TURNS IT OFF by holding the power button down. I told him it doesn't always charge, not it's dead! I had been working on things on it and he basically hit the reset button for me with no reason or need to. He then proceeded to tell me they WILL NOT do either of the two fixes that might be required.
Thanks for nothing! I already was aware of what the probable fixes were (buy a new power cord, or resolder the power port to the motherboard), so I wasted time AND lost what I'd been working on because I brought my computer in. I'm now worse off than I was before I decided to bring it by. I won't say to take your stuff to somewhere like Best Buy, because some of the techs there are even more clueless.
What you need to do is learn to fix things yourself instead of bringing them somewhere like this. I only brought it here because I've got a time crunch and wasn't going to be able to fix this myself in the time I had available.
