Great guys. They are very helpful and polite able to answer any question I had and not a bad hourly rate as repairs go... Sometimes parts are more expensive that you think. Other times they are cheaper than one might expect. Not their fault if a $500 job could have been avoided by a simple $9 wristband. That was on me πŸ˜‚. Still good people.

I had to sell my computer before moving and they were great. I dropped it off, and they assessed it and called me back with their offer. They were able to mail me the check to my new address 1700+ miles away. Wonderful interaction with all staff and would recommend them to anyone needing to buy or sell equipment.

If they have what you need thier great. A little more than ordering online but local company and locally owned.

Review β„–5

The owner is as unprofessional as he is short. He ignored questions I asked him, charged me for 4 hours of work when three of his employees told me it would only take two hours at the max, and tried to tell my mother she couldn’t pay for the work after she questioned the price. He also yelled at his employee in front of me, made him clock out early for one mistake, and was extremely disrespectful towards me. All of his employees are extremely respectful and nice, it’s only the con-artist of an owner that caused issues.

Its evident from other reviews and the owners own comments to those accusations that this place is not oriented for customer satisfaction. Good luck, Keene, with your business model. Ill check back in later and see how well that worked out for you.

Took my comp in for repairs and was told it would take 3-5 days, 2 weeks later still no word. Finally figured out the problem, they had lost the computer and work ticket. After that they wanted $250 to replace the motherboard but needed to order it and it would be another 7-10 days for that. Tired of getting the run around i took it to FCI in longview and it was fixed for $70 and ready for pickup the next morning. Turns out the motherboard was not the problem.

The line of graphics cards recently released and this retail store is scalping the price of them, they claim high demand is driving the price up, the price is almost $300 over retail. They would have sold 2 of the cards they had sitting in their shelf today but they are nothing but unprofessional scalpers and I personally hope they go out of business

I went there to buy a modem. Unfortunately they only had one in stock. But the customer service was wonderful, I was greeted as I came in the door and helped immediately. I got distracted when I saw something about HDMIs as I was looking to get a plug splitter. I had been looking at the cables and explained I had hoped theyd have HDMI plug splitters as I run 4 devices on a TV with 2 ports. The gentleman who helped me find the modem also helped me pick out one of those.TL;DR- Good customer service, very helpful and prompt

Review β„–16

Generally speaking this place does excellent work, and very quickly. This time I came in with what I thought was an unsolvable problem, and that turned out to be the case. After a week of being without my laptop, I had to pick it up without it being repaired. I didnt have much hope for it anyway. I will still go to them for service; they really are very good at what they do.

Review β„–17

I paid to get my Dell laptop analysed, then fixed. I paid for expedited services that was about $95.00. The tech told me my keyboard would to be replaced, that was $55.00. It took about a week to receive my back laptop. I did not mind spending the money because it was finals week. To my horror the keyboard is bouncy or spongy. In addition,I kept getting an error message concerning a essay I had been working on. When I sent an email to the store manager and owner I believed that they would fix the problems. Instead when I returned to the store to works things out with the owner he did not introduce himself, I had to guess who he was, then he called a tech over and left.No apology for the poor quality or anything!Next the tech told me that it would cost me an ADDITIONAL $185.00 to find out why the error message was happening. ( I had previously asked if I need this service when I asked about the keyboard and was told no.) For the grand total that was being asked for I could have purchased one from Walmart. Devastated and crying I picked my computed back up. Finally as I write this review I have to go back and insert spaces between my words because of the flimsy quality of the keyboard. I eventually had to purchase a smaller laptop to get through the end of the semester. This was in March in Longview when the shut down began. Best Buy and CPU were the only quality computer store that I knew of. I hope this helps someone.

Do not come here for service, they are con artists. Needed an OS installed onto an SSD, which shouldnt take very long. So I pay them their required $60 for the first hour of labor (this phrasing is important), which is already a little egregious for such a task. Then I wait a few days and found out they charged me an extra $100 since it somehow took 2.5hrs for Windows to install. So youre charging $50/hr while you literally do other things while Windows does its thing. Outrageously expensive for such a menial task. Do not come to this store, they will charge you insane rates. Im all for supporting local businesses, but this is a bad one.

Brandon & Rook went above and beyond! They provided exceptional customer service and shared so much knowledge. The prices here are reasonable when it comes to computer parts and the staff is great! The remodel is coming along nicely and Donut the dog is a nice touch. We will always recommend CPU Longview.

I used CPU in Longview regularly when I was a supervisor there for CSI. I bought all of our Cat5 cables, DB-9 cables, and other accessories that were needed. Very knowledgeable staff and willing to accommodate you in any way. Their cables are high grade and long lasting. Great place for all of your electronics needs.

If you need computer parts, have questions even remotely related to computers, or need someone else to work on your computer for you. CPU is the place to go. There is an insane amount of knowledge and expertise crammed into this computer shop. The staff is very friendly! The prices are the best I have found. So on an ending note: Best Buy SUCKS!! ...Lol

Went in here looking for a SSD for my newer laptop on Thursday at 6:15 or so. The guy at the counter was VERY helpful and assisted me in a new bigger SSD and USB enclosure to clone my old SSD to the new one. Thank you to you guys. Its hard to find knowledgeable people like this anymore. His instructions worked perfectly. Best Buy actually sent me to the right place.

Review β„–30

CPU Im sure is a great establishment, but the customer service and systems of their business are not worthy of anything above an one star review. I went in there with one part in mind- a CPU cooler. Though the selection was limited their associate, eagerly wanting to help, kept urging me to get one of their two liquid coolers left on the shelf. He ensured it would be perfect for my system and no one has ever has had a problem with it. I expressed my concern for it not fitting my board, yet he persisted. After buying the item and going home to see the manual showing me ITS NOT COMPATIBLE, I returned the item (probably 20 mins after buying). During this return, a mound of grief and attitude was unnecessarily given from a different associate who demanded the 8% restocking fee and indirectly insulted my buying decisions while defending his other associate... when all I asked for was a simple return because it wasnt the right fit. Best Buy was much more useful.

CPU offers great customer service and network installation services. They have a great team and carry a lot of electronic components most stores like best buy etc will not carry in store outside their websites. One of my favorite stores in Longview.

You are better off buying computer parts off amazon. The prices at Amazon range from 10% to 80% cheaper, even if you pay for shipping. I dont see how they keep the Wholesale computer parts on their name since they charge at an extreme premium rate on parts.

I walked in prepared to spend a lot of money to solve my problem. They listened to my shopping list, asked what my problem was, and proposed a solution that was a fraction of the cost. Sprint is a great associate. I will be coming here again.

I have plenty of reasons for the 1 star but I will cut it short. The employees weren’t nice at all and the prices are way to high. They wanted to charge me $150 for a one time fix but I took it to geek squad and got an account with them for $200 and they give me unlimited service for a year. I’d shut this place down if I was the boss.

I dont know where these bad reviews are coming from. I have dealt with this store for 4 years and never had one issue. Purchased 3 Computers and one very nice laptop from them as well. They have worked on my Alienware machine twice and fixed it both times with not much of a wait time and very reasonable on the price. No reason this store should get anything less than 5 stars

Review β„–54

Ill be honest, I was a little concerned letting anyone touch my computer. I build my own systems, and of course im very protective of it. But, I didnt have the tools to see what was wrong this time. Also my family Did have some issues with CPU way back in the day (Years and years ago)...However this experience completely turned me around!After a storm my system got fried, I was terrified that I had lost everything. I took it to CPU, let them know exactly what I needed. They didnt question it, or try to push for additional services... They were professional, courteous, and got everything checked out way before their listed turn around time.They called me to let me know what was wrong, Thankfully the power supply only, and offered to replace it (I was originally cautious about having anyone replace anything in my system). I agreed, and they gave me a supply that was very well priced and had it finished within the hour of the call.I will definitely recommend them in the future.

Review β„–60

I bought a Cisco Router there and in six months it failed. I bought it May 17, 2014. CPU would not help me with it and refered me to the manufacturer. When I called the manufacturer and reported the Serial Number they told me that it had been purchased November 2013 from Wal-Mart and thus exceeded the one year warranty. I told them I had the receipt from CPU from 6 months earlier. The manufacturer would not help. Apparently CPU bought it from Wal-Mart and put it on their shelf. CPU would not intervene or help. The manager would not even talk to me about it.

When you have nowhere to turn for parts in the computer field and have to have it, CPU4U steps up. Never really had a problem with them or any advice but pricing and lack of staff sometimes is hindering. If you cant wait to order online, you have CPU4U.

My expectations of this company so called fixing my motherboard were exactly right. I said I would not give a review until after a full year of taking my PC in to them due to motherboard going out. It was exactly 12 months to the date that the motherboard went right back out again but Im NOT taking my computer back to CPU because they only put a temporary band aid on the situation and didnt FIX it. I wont be back!!!
