Wow, these guys are good! Seth correctly pinpointed our computer problems within minutes and had a new piece of equipment to replace in his truck! Good service, friendly and helpful on the phone, decent pricing. Cant ask for anything more.
I have been taking computers to Computer Room for since they were located on East Hill. The guys who work there are pleasant, unpretentious (they dress very casually and bring their dogs to work), and honest. They do not talk down to women or to people like me who do not know much about computers. They recently replaced the hard drive on my laptop--they carefully checked out the computer to make sure that that was what was needed, and they did not try to force the most expensive option on me The happy result is that my computer feels like it is new.
When my computer went on the fritz I took it to these fine folks and within 24 hours knew what was wrong. They were up front about the situation, not trying to sell me on anything or tease that maybe they could fix it if I paid for this or that. They even managed to copy my hard drive over to an external drive so I didnt lose anything.
These guys were so nice and quick with helping me with my computer. The dogs at the store we so cute and sweet, made my day! They helped find the best way to deal with my computer that was cost efficient.
I had an unusual problem with my MacBook Air that was impossible to recreate for diagnostic purposes. Ben & the team fixed it each time,& persevered until the solution was found. & all the while remained positive & pleasant as they explained what they were trying/doing. Result? A complete success because they didnt give up.
My last experience has been these guys are honest and genuinely care about helping me get my computer running without buying a new machine. Yes, it does cost $ and a new computer would b twice as much and my computer will be ready for another 5plus years of use...if Im going still, it will too.
I really appreciated Computer Rooms dedication to providing the best service. I had a pretty unique situation (the parts were not available in the US), but Ben and his team made everything as smooth as possible for me. I didnt have to give them my laptop until the parts came, so I could use it for school, and then once the parts did arrive, the team worked very fast to put everything together for me. Their quality control is also great, because they realized that one feature of the new parts was defective, so they ordered new parts again. Throughout the entire process, Ben and his team worked with me to ensure that everything was done as efficiently as possible. Would definitely recommend!
Very helpful, great communication, good service! Also, really cute dogs to pet while you wait.
The data on my hard drive was not recoverable, but the service was exceptional. The team at Computer Room explained the technical side of things to my satisfaction, and I felt like my expectations were realistically set.
I had issues with my Dell lap-top. Took it to them. They explained to me exactly what had wrong with my machine after going thru with all the diagnostic work overnight. Fixed everything that was wrong for a very reasonable price, and now my lap-top is functioning like it was, and as when there was nothing wrong with it. What I liked about them is they did everything with proper and adequate disclosure. I think their prices are very fair.
The Computer Room team helped me every step of the way with my computer issues. I highly recommend them and will definitely be back!
The staff listened to my needs and completed an OS update and installed a new program on my laptop. Service was really quick, and high quality.
Ben repaired a broken laptop screen for me. He spent a lot of time looking for the best price on a replacement screen, and did the repair in a timely and professional manner. The social distanced pick up and drop-off was quick, safe, and secure. Great work. Well be using The Computer Room for any future computer needs.
Ive been taking my disasters to the Computer Room for many years. Always get competent, fair, and swift service. Cant imagine going anywhere else, as long as Im based in the Ithaca area.
To say my experience was exceptional would be modest. I chose to use them based on google reviews and I am so glad I did. The customer service experience from the initial phone call to the closing of my ticket was perfectly orchestrated. Flawless and professional. Thanks to the Computer room team and special thanks to Ben for being so kind and understanding.
Consistent and excellent quality of services for several years. Helpful information and repairs, highly recommended
Theyve worked out a great system of keeping the customer safe during the Covid-19 issue and the repairs needed were quickly identified and resolved, as always.
I was in need of a new computer specifically for design and graphics work, so I reached out to Computer Room for help. Ben Heller got back to me and worked with me to plan out my needs and we settled on building a custom PC.Because parts were back-ordered (covid delays) it took quite awhile to get the machine. Ben and the employees at Computer Room were responsive and always in touch to update me on changing dates.Well I finally have my new custom rig and its doing exactly what I want it to. What used to take 5-10+ minutes on my old designer laptop is now taking 10-15 seconds. Ive only had the computer for a brief time but its already improved my workflow dramatically and I am happy. Once more, Ben has been responsive to follow-up needs and extremely patient and professional this whole time.Im quite happy and look forward to doing continued business with Computer Room.
We have been doing business with one another for years, never have I or any of my partners been disappointed with the customer service, knowledge and equipment. Stand up Business
I have a 9 y.o. Mac that would not boot up. Ben and Seth both counseled me on the repair and what I could expect to happen when they replaced the dead hard drive. A perfect storm of Pandemic, Apple coming out with its ARM component machines and my old Intel Mac. What to do? I opted for replacing the hard drive. I think Seth did the work but both men were informative, professional and Patient! I would not hesitate to call them and bring any other devices I have to them. I felt that they were honest, seasoned computer professionals, very candid with their answers regarding the Mac and waiting for the new ARM Mac Pro. Great business! Even warned me of street paving going on! Thank you!
I have known Ben for close to at least a couple of decades and have been using his service over the years. Ben and his crew are exceptional at what they do and reasonably priced. I would recommend The Computer Room to anyone needing assistance with a MAC or PC.
My laptop wouldnt turn on because of water damage. The Computer Room fixed my machine quickly. Their staff is professional and their COVID policies do a good job maintaining distance between staff and customers.
Great communication. Was able to help me understand everything I was asking in a manner the general public can understand. Professional and friendly. great experience
Erick was of great help and gave me options for the repair we needed. They followed up to make sure we were satisfied.
The best. Ive used the Computer Room for a couple of small network cabling jobs in two different houses. Absolutely professsional, and when needed, Ben (who I worked with on both occasions) went above and beyond to get it all to work.
They are very thorough and I appreciated that they explained what they were doing (to a non-tech-savvy person like me)!
Called them in borderline tears over a crashed hardrive I was told was unsalvageable. Eric was so sweet, answered my questions, and was sympathetic. I ended up cancelling, then calling back and rescheduling and he was happy to help and kind. Got my drive back a few days later, and I was told that they were refunding me the rest of my deposit because what they did cost less than my deposit. This was hands down the kindest experience Ive ever had. I HIGHLY recommend them.
Neal replaced the SSD in my Mac laptop. He did a great and thorough job and he did it quickly. He also checked in with me a couple of weeks later to make sure things were working well. I asked him a couple of questions in my follow-up email and he took the time to answer my questions thoroughly. It is nice to work with a local small business which is what Computer Room is. I highly recommend them.
Two amazing experiences. I spilled liquid all over my laptop (all... over...), and they salvaged all my data, and it didnt cost and arm and a leg. A year later, an external hard drive stopped working, and they saved all that data, too. Neal is so nice and professional and pleasant to work with. I cant recommend them highly enough.
Very timely service and communication. Will absolutely go back when I need more work done.
I was really impressed with the work that Computer Room put into my computer. They were patient and communicative as they dealt with what I thought was a fatal crash, and in the end I got to take home my fully functioning computer at a very reasonable cost. They gave lots of tips for care, so I felt like I was in good shape when I got home.
I think the WORLD of The Computer Room! For those who dont know much about how computers work OR how to fix them, the folks at The Computer Room really helped me to understand what was happening AND fix what needed to be fixed. All within a reasonable price range. Cant recommend em more!
Neal took my laptop in and diagnosed it very easily. He was very knowledgeable and gave me numerous options and advice on what to do with my laptop. I went ahead and purchased a new one, and he easily transferred all of my information over to my new one. I would recommend the Computer room to anyone having issues with their computers. The prices are very affordable, too!
Neal is approachable and easy to talk to whether you are tech-savvy or tech-overwhelmed. He was honest and upfront about the options available to me when I brought him a Macbook with water damage to the logic board. He communicated with me about each step of the process and how long each step would take.Bonus: there are dogs behind the counter that you can say hi to if you wish!
Highly recommend for computer repair and I am sure they are great at other computer related services. I was down and virtually out of commission and these guys ( I worked with Neal ) were able to figure out the glitch and get my computer back up and running like it was new. Excellent communication during the process.
The computer room is the best place in town to go to!!Friendly staff and great work! Prices are very reasonable!I highly recommend the Computer Room
I accidentally spilled a whole cup of tea on my computer and I called them right away. Within 30min they had given me an appointment and they were checking the laptop. They called me a couple of times to chat about the repairs and now the computer looks brand new!
The best. I moved to the area a couple of years ago, concerned that I would not find great, affordable, service for my computers. My husband had used the Computer Room and spoke highly of service, convenience, pricing and the great personal service. He was right.
Emergency help, when you really needed, found here!The Computer Room Staff has helped us several times promptly and efficiently. Thanks guys!J Lozano. Ithaca NY
Great work, and good to customers.. Big recommend.
Excellent service at very competitive prices. I highly recommend this business for all your computer needs.
For over 10 years I have used the Computer Room for my computers and cant say enough good things about them. Their service and workmanship is excellent. They are honest and very fairly priced. I do and have recommended them to many friends who have needed computer work. They are my go to for all of my computer maintenance needs.
Very helpful, not condescending.They couldn’t replicate my problem in the shop, but kept working on it til it was fixed.
Ive never noticed this shop before and never had a reason to go there, but I found myself in a bind as I was trying to complete a PC build and needed thermal paste. I challenge you to try finding such a thing anywhere in Ithaca, or probably even without driving at least an hour.Well, they had it, and it was a lifesaver. The staff is very nice as well, and they chatted with me a bit about my build. I cant speak to the quality of their other work, but I would recommend checking them out if you need to purchase any parts or accessories. They seem competent and friendly as well, which means you have a good chance of getting good repair work done as well.
SO glad I found the Computer Room! I am a virtual assistant who works from home, so my computer is everything. When I had some water damage on my Macbook, I was so scared it would be permanently damaged, and that I would be without a computer for weeks. These guys fixed the problem, and had such a quick turnaround. The pricing was very reasonable, and they were very easy to work with! I would recommend them to everyone!
My Dell laptop started crashing about once a day, just freezing, requiring a hard reset of the system, then it would do it again. I called The Computer Room and talked to Neal, explained the problem and took the computer in. He installed a new hard drive, copied everything from the old one onto the new one, I got it back the next day. Neal communicated thoroughly through the process, very pleased with the results and turn around time. Thanks!
Excellent to work with, great communication skills and fixed my issue at a reasonable rate. Will use them again for any future issues.
My mom and I have been to the computer room a few times now and weve seen how they excel at customer service. My mom is someone who knows how more or less how to use a computer but doesnt have an in depth knowledge. Meanwhile, Im a nerd and always want to know more about how a computer works. The people at the Computer Room do an excellent job and speaking simply to normal people like my mother and know when to speak more technical to someone like me, which is something a lot of other (and larger) businesses fail at.On top of that, their knowledge and skill is superb and theyre also fair with their prices. I recently took my laptop in for maintenance and they not only fixed my problem but also took the time to test it to ensure that everything was working fine. If you leave your technology with them, it will be well taken care of.
Actually, this is Karen Hays. (Dont know why my son Steves name came up except he uses my computer fairly often.) Seth, the technician from Computer Room, is my go-to person when I have any computer question or problem. He ALWAYS fixes everything and is just excellent. Recently a technician from Time Warner Cable was here working on something and had a question I thought Seth would know about, so I called Computer Room. Seth was in the area and came right to my house within a few minutes and took care of the issue.....just like he always does!!! Hes friendly, patient, extremely knowledgeable, capable and fun! Computer Room is wonderful.
The technicians here really know their business, and take some effort to even explain to rookies like me what exactly the issue with my laptop is. Their diagnosis pinpointed the small damaged part in the whole circuitry. Saved me a bunch of money by replacing a small damaged part rather than replacing the whole laptop :)
Thoroughly cleaned out all the malware that I inadvertently loaded onto my computer for a very fair price. Very professional and very quick.
I have been going to Neal at the Computer Room since 2011 for business and personal. I straight-up wouldnt even consider going to anybody else. I trust Neal implicitly. I, without reservation, recommend The Computer Room and Neal!
I had a very positive experience here-- my laptop screen wouldnt turn on after a spill and a different part had to be ordered/ replaced. Staff was very helpful, friendly and the whole thing took less than a week, even without a rush order
Neal is helpful and knowledgeable, so my problems always get resolved quickly, which is important when youre dependent on a computer for getting your job done.
I have enjoyed a very good working relationship with Neal at the computer room for many years.I always get great service there, with a very fast turn around time.Samite
These guys are great! Smart, friendly and fast. You can count on them!
Neal has been addressing my computer issues for five years. I have been pleased with his honest approach about diagnostic costs and then what it took to solve the problem. He inerprets my non techy language, and with kindness and integrity solves the problem!
They fixed my computer in a few hours for an extremely reasonable price and were super nice.
Very good experience fixing an irritating adware problem, which turned out to be something I hadnt expected. I can be irritating myself, and they dealt with me calmly and thoroughly. My go-to people now.
Best place to get your computer fixed!
Computer room has been in Ithaca for a long time. Very reliable, very trustworthy.
Fast, conscientious and competent! recommend with NO reservations
Fast and efficient work! Im happy!
Excellent customer service. Fixedy fried MacBook pro. Would recommend.
Knowledgeable staff that wont quit until they are sure all of your PC problems are solved.
These folks are kind, professional, and very skilled.
Good people, very helpful.
The staff is wonderful!!!
Very professional and kind
