30$ cheaper diagnostics than the guys out in village point. They helped me figure out why my gaming computer was shutting down intermittently. I brought them an old high performance rig, and they cleaned it up nice, figured out the issue, and got it back to me in under 5 hours from drop off. Thanks guy.

After having a horrid experience with one of their competitors I called Special Touch -- well named! Literally having put up with months of excuses I finally broke with incompetence experienced elsewhere, I explained the issued in need of addressing and mentioned that the bar they would have to clear was laying on the ground to be an improvement! Evan came out the next day -- took my computer with him after checking it out -- and BROUGHT IT BACK THE NEXT DAY WITH ALL ISSUES ADDRESSED!!! I could not be more pleased with Evan and their entire team and highly recommend them!

Their Data transfer is the most affordable around town and they got my computer all set up and updated for me so I didnt have to worry about it! All the guys there are super pleasant.

Robert and a technician helped my son with a gaming pc. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. They demoed the features and went over the components with him so he was well informed on his purchase. Great service and value. Thank you!

I cant say enough good about this business. They were friendly and professional. Very informative and fixed my computer in a very reasonable time frame. My computer required further diagnostics to figure out what was wrong and they were great about communication and making sure I was on board with their plans. Thank you!! I will definitely recommend your services.

Special Touch was just that, in every way. Immediately responded to my email, quickly got my computer issue diagnosed in-house, ordered the necessary part, and had me fixed up and ready to go, good as new--and at a reasonable price--in short order. Professional, knowledgeable, and pleasant to work with. Tremendous experience. Highly recommended!

Robert and the guys all do a great job for us! When we need them, a quick call and theyre out within the day or next. Definitely can recommend their work and their knowledge about the equipment and programs. They cater to your business needs and dont oversell what wont work for you. And, they always check back to make sure things are still going smoothly. Top notch!

I took a laptop that had various issues in to see what it would take to get it fixed. The shop was very quick to diagnose the issues and present my options. I approved the repair and then asked that they upgrade the hard drive to an SSD and thats where the trouble began. The computer had a 1 TB HDD in it and when I picked it up for some reason they only replaced it with a 120 GB SSD. This made no sense to me at all, I was told that since their wasnt many files on the hard drive thats all I needed. That should be for me to decide and it seemed like common sense that you would replace a 1TB HDD with a 1 TB SSD. When the computer went in it had Windows 10 Pro and it and it came out with Windows 10 Home. I asked that they put the laptop back in its original shape and I asked for a refund. They did that without argument. Overall, I would recommend going to another computer repair shop.

Have used Special Touch for a few years now, and can’t say enough good about them.They have maintained 3 different computers for me; updating operating systems, upgrading to solid state hard drives, providing advice and hardware for backup systems, and any “necessary fixes” along the way.Their services are always priced fairly, and done in a timely manner. It’s all good.

I came in with some hardware issues regarding my keyboard. The person I spoke with was very upfront with his assumption of what the problem was and what it would take to fix it. He gave me a price for the fix and after I said okay, fixed my computer within a few days. The price was good and my keyboard feels brand new, like nothing ever even happened to it. Very satisfied with the quality and efficiency of service, and will definitely recommend if any of my friends have computer issues in the future.

My Apple desktop computer was running super sluggish and not responding. I took it into Special Touch Computer Repair and they were very helpful. They explained all the work that would need to be done beforehand and got my computer back to me the next day. It runs better than when it was new! Would highly recommend this business and appreciate their great service. Thanks Special Touch Repair!

I had some issues with booting my PC and couldnt figure it out for about six months. Really beat my head to a wall about it but I finally decided to take it in. Glad I did, I was informed of an easy fix and decided to go ahead. Got an SSD installed, they saved my files, and then moved them to where I asked to. All for a reasonable price too. Definitely will recommend them to anyone I know whos having issues with their PC.

I had a great experience. My laptop battery died and had to be replaced. Since it was an internal battery I took my laptop to Special Touch to have itreplaced. They ordered the battery and quoted it would be in as late as Monday but it ended it up coming in sooner. Therefore the turn around time was quick. They called and said the battery was in o. Thursday I dropped off my laptop Friday and got it back Saturday. The service reps were friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely go back for any other computer needs.

Was missing a piece to connect a new SSD to my laptop and needed to get it fixed before I was out of town the next day. They had the piece, quickly got it in and even stayed a little late to ensure it was working correctly. On top of that, the pricing was very reasonable. Great customer service!

Special Touch did a great job getting my PC up and running again. I needed a new DC jack as mine had bent/broken, and while the direct replacement of the jack was not possible, they were able to replace the motherboard and get things working again. I have my PC back and it is running great. I was impressed with their communication and professionalism. Recommend these guys.

Had a custom desktop built here and I couldn’t be happier. The service was excellent, the price was more than fair in my opinion, and they did a tremendous job. Liquid cooling, RGB, multiple hard drives and graphics cards, everything. They took the parts I gave them put it all together and started it up. All I had to do was plug it in. I’ll never go anywhere else.

I migrated my data from old PC to new. On the new one, the default Outlook couldnt access the pst email files, I didnt like OneDrive as the default storage place, and didnt like how my migrated files were many clicks away. I wanted to avoid OneDrive and Office 365 subscriptions the new PC wanted me to use. Robert understood. He enabled my Outlook 2010; it took a couple tries but he remoted in to my system and got all old and new emails running on it. Also showed me easy remap to quickly get to my files, and gave good advice on moving to a different email provider and backup service.

Had a problem with my desktop computer not powering up. Thought it might be the power supply but I didnt know. I brought it in for a free diagnostic at 11 am. Got a call within an hour verifying that it was the supply and they could repair it parts and labor for $99. They called back and I picked it up at 3 pm. They will be highly recommended by me.

Special Touch is an accurate name for this computer store. Robert built me a super fast bulletproof Dell laptop 2 years ago that still rocks. Follow his advice and get a better working system for half the price of retail. LOVE the solid state drive so much I had him install one in my old HP. He worked his magic, got rid of all the viruses and a once useless paperweight is now super fast and my kids use it for video editing. THANKS!!!

Excellent advice, consultation, and work. I took an older iMac in and they did a wonderful job making it work better than new! All for a very reasonable price. They made several suggestions and changed what I originally wanted to do (while saving me a lot of money). Wonderful service and I highly recommend them.

Review №56

I brought in a laptop with a broken DC jack. They gave me a quote and ordered the part. They were in constant communication about what was transpiring. The distributor sent them the wrong part, which isnt their fault. After it was installed, diagnostics revealed further shorts throughout the motherboard. Computer a total loss. At the end of the day I was only charged for the data transfer fee, which is as it should be. My situation sucked, but I felt like STCR did everything they could under the circumstances.

Review №58

These guys actually do know what they are doing. I had serious power issues on a custom built PC for months. I took my system to a different repair shop in town only to have them tell me my PSU tested fine and the problems were likely related to my motherboard. A quick google search on my motherboard model and I found others that had power problems but nothing that matched my symptoms. I took it to Special Touch and they confirmed and gave me options to replace my power supply and it has been working perfectly since.

I became the unlucky purchaser of a new low priced HP laptop at the start of last year. Just through normal usage, the motherboard gave out recently. I went online and saw the great reviews here and decided to try a local perspective on repair options rather that using Geek Squad as I had done in the past, and glad I did! Robert was fast responding to my situation, and offered an option for replacement which was better and less expensive than anything I could have found through online or retail channels. A big 5 Stars for STCR!

Ive had a problem with my laptop for a week. It was switching off few minutes after turning on. I found special touch through yelp and emailed them. Robert responded to my email promptly and explained the possible problems. I took my laptop the next day and they fixed it in on the same day! So happy that I got my laptop fixed so fast. Robert explained that something was blocking my fan and preventing it from spinning. They gave me a $20 discount and I paid $85 including tax. I recommend them to anybody who is looking for good service, in short time and with reasonable rate!

Special Touch was great. I took in a very old Dell model, running on a very old OS. Robert cleaned up, added additional RAM, and a new OS, and I CANNOT BELIEVE THE DIFFERENCE. He also helped me get set up with Gmail as opposed to the COX Email I had been using for years! Again, I CANNOT BELIEVE THE DIFFERENCE. The only thing I regret is that I didnt find Special Touch years ago. Thank You!

I was having some issues with my business laptop and needed it fixed in a hurry. Its a little older and I was sure Id have to get a new one. If you have a business and your computer goes down, you understand how this can drive your stress level through the roof. Special touch is very near to my office, but I had never been in before. Robert, the owner was great. He got my old laptop up and running and all cleaned up by the next morning and gave me some tips on what I could do to keep it going with less trouble. They have a new customer for sure. Highly recommended.

This company saved me! I really procrastinated...well, for 7 years to get my computer that had stopped operating hard-drive backed up; it had about 10 years of my family life and memories on it! we lost my husband 2 years ago, and It just was too hard to be reminded(horrible reason I know)well, my daughter graduates in a week, and it was about time I attempted to get my memories back...and with much effort...EVERY single picture I downloaded and saved was recovered.I have my childrens first 10 years of life back for them to see with their Dad...memories sadly that have faded since they were little.I couldnt be any happier. I was nervous and scared that it was too late, or to place it in hands of a company that could have caused more damage then it sitting for as long as it did...Quick, friendly, and so reasonable!!Thanks again!!!!
