UPDATE 4/27/22: My 6 year old Dell laptop's hard drive decided to fail, and finally wouldn't boot up. I once again went to CRC and spoke to Chris. He gave me several options, one of which was putting in a new solid state hard drive, which is what I decided to do instead of using one of my standard laptop hard drives taken from another computer. Since I don't keep anything other than needed programs on it, I didn't need a big SSD.
I brought it in on a Monday, got an estimate, and had it back by Thursday. What a difference the SSD makes! It boots up quickly and makes no noise! I took out the 6 gigs of RAM and put in 16 gigs, and it's like having a brand new computer!
If you need any type of work done of your computer, go to CRC. They are honest, fast and able to answer any questions! I read the reviews here, and after having no luck reviving my 11 year old computer, I brought it here where they offer free diagnostic services. The news wasn't good. There was to much wrong with it. Chris did a full work up, and it would cost about $300 to fix it. We both agreed it wasn't worth it. It's hard to find an honest business, but these guys are. If you need computer help,...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI'm a computer consultant in Buffalo, NY, hundreds of miles from CRC Computer Repair Center. Yesterday, my aunt in Wantagh called me, as she does when she needs computer help. This time it was evident that the problem was with the computer itself (hardware), and I could not fix it remotely from Buffalo.
I called CRC. We discussed the symptoms and computer make / model. Matt at CRC told me that diagnosis would be frer, and if the problem could be solved with a part they had in stock and computer could be brought in soon (it was an hour and 15 minutes to closing time), it might be repaired that day. This all sounded good to me.
I called my aunt back, advising her to immediately take the computer to CRC.
Later I heard back from my aunt that the repair was done, they had the unit bavk at home and were extremely pleased with the service & cost.
From my perspective as a computer consultant with 30+ years of experience, things could not have worked out berrer!
I would recommend CRC Computer Repair Center to anyone...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI wish I could rate this place higher than 5 stars. They certainly deserve it. I came in after my hard drive failed obviously very nervous and flustered. Chris was incredibly helpful, and walked me through the entire process diagnosing my computer and replacing not only the hard drive, but also a fan, and a swollen battery. The price for all the work, including the data recovery was very fair. What sets this place apart from others is the communication. They called me and explained everything they were going to do. When they thought they might not be able to get the battery out of the computer, they called me up and asked if I wanted to proceed and even said that they would not charge if the computer was damaged (which was a really great thing to offer that they didn't have to.) When they gave me back my computer, they even said they could help me setup my printer remotely at no charge. This is a great business and Chris is a great person. I...
