Only reason for one star here is for his customer service was great. OK so now for the gusto on this place: Business Presentation: The shop when you enter here is full of shelf's that are out in the open full of the old computer broken or used parts which should be in the back out of customers view and not on the shelf's with an inch of dust on all the stuff you can see with your eyes visibly, it looks very nasty and not presentable. Products: The products that he installs in these computers he build's custom for you have very marginal capable from power supplies to video cards and memory, very marginal being installed needs to offer these units he installs with true capability for what the customer is asking for that he/she need for them to work on at there business or house not used outdated old parts from other units being brought in that dont work for very long time after he shows you the finished PC in his store. People bring in used or broken units to him and he uses those parts to build a so called custom computer for you to work on and his parts are very old and outdated.
Our Experience: From when we went in to the shop and picked up our build it was running fine and dandy but after about a week into using this computer for just online business no gaming mind you so its not like were running this very hard the PCI-E ( Graphics Card) did not handle two screens and this card was supposed to handle two monitors according to him and online that i checked myself. He also will take your Hard drive if you bring it in to put on the new PC build and wipe the drive so please backup the drive to somewhere else at home or else it will get wiped and lost of all stuff.
Warranty: He gives you a warranty on his parts for like idk 30 days but go back in he installs something that works for the time being the wham goes out again so why use his so called shop warranty ummmm i don't think so this has trash all over it inside and out folks, i am not recommending this place to outside customers looking for a cheap custom build computer or computer build in general place please go elsewhere and help to not give this place business...
Read moreFirst, I must address that negative review I see here. If Abe has been in business for 14 years at that location, he is doing something right! If you could not work something out with him, I don't know what to say! Some people you just cannot make happy no matter what and I cannot imagine Abe not trying to make you happy..
I stopped into his shop many times when I am in the area. I live in Winter Beach. A 35 min ride north. I just bought a new super powerful computer thru HP and decided to give Abe a shot because I wanted to install an SSD (solid state drive) to make this computer even faster. He did it the same day, made sure I understood what he did and demo'd the machine for me. This machine boots up in 20 seconds! Beat that.. And it will always do that.. The benefit of an SSD! I highly recommend Abe for any thing you need done, computer wise! He is also training his son to become a successful businessman as well. He is a very polite young man and will do well in life.
If you need repairs or a new build, don't...
Read moreUse caution when purchasing from this seller. There is no obvious signage for returns or refunds until you have made a purchase.
Additionally, the seller will make claims to ensure a sale. I was assured that my purchase was of a recently opened, new product. After I found this product (a universal laptop charger) to not work for my laptop, I made the drive back up to Melbourne to return it. Upon arrival he smugly informed me he didn't refund refurbished products, note he told me this was NEW just two days ago, and accused me of lying about it's charging capabilities. I'm not very computer savvy. I didn't think to bring my laptop with me. Yes, that's my bad but the onus isn't on me to sit there for another day to try and charge it with a product not meant to work with my laptop.
Go in well researched and with a little skepticism when buying here. You may pay more at a Best Buy or other big box store but at least they won't call you a liar or scoff at you for being less...
