As to the Computer Refinery - the review by Ant C is a misrepresentation of the facts, he was never a customer of the shop. In fact he was asked to leave due to his behavior- I was in the store at the time and felt threaten to the point I would have to call the police. Ant C's mother had brought in a laptop which she said her son had worked on and she could not get into it. The computer was password locked. His mother had called him an asked for the password which he gave, it did not work. After recovering the photos, Ant C came into the store and berated his mother and the store. It was explained about the password and he was not sure what it was. A new drive was put in and windows was reinstalled with transfer of the photos from the original drive.

Ant C's review is to be taken with the above facts as not factual and a fabrication of the events, their are...

A lot more work and time involved than typical due to my hanging on to my old machine way longer than I should have. I suspect most repair shops wouldn’t have touched it, but Ted dug in and pulled it all together and charged me very kindly, considering the time he spent and very nice used updated equipment he set me up with. It’s running great!...
   Read moreHe really knows his stuff, gets your computer back to you really quick, (unless he's waiting on parts). He's so busy you have to set up an appointment because he does repairs for businesses and schools, BUT that goes to show you how good he is. That's the only downfall of a one man team, but I wouldn't trust my computer in anyone else's hands. He explains what he did, great example of a...
