Bob was knowledgeable, professional, and a good value for the services provided. I feel that he is fairly priced for the services provided, and I was even able to purchase spare parts from him as well.

I have a touchscreen laptop so when it cracked on the corner I was worried about the prices and if it could be fixed at all. Fortunately for me I found A-1 Computer. I first picked them of course because they have good reviews and they have been in service for more years than other places I had checked out so they were way more knowledgeable as well. My experience with them was 5+ . They respond right away and know what they are talking about and dont tell you a bunch of stuff just to get a client. I truly felt I was being told the best options as well as more than one option so I wasn't stuck

I cannot thank Bob and A1 computer service enough!!! I am an industrial refrigeration technician and received a service call from one of my customers. When I arrived the plant was down due to the failure of the main control computers power supply. Nothing was open that early in the morning but I searched google and A1 popped up and said they were open (6:30am). I called, Bob answered, told him what I needed and within an hour I had the parts in my hand. I got the plant back up and running and back in production. A1 Computer service literally saved my customer $3.6 MILLION in down time that day

My laptop had a screen which was popping out as well as a broken hinge and A1 was able to fix it in a timely manner and for a good price. I would use them again and would recommend them if you need computer expertise.

Add another 5 stars to this review for a total of 10!!!! PLEASE DON'T STOP READING HERE, KEEP READING ON!!!! I had one person I relied on to handle all my computer issues and question, but since then that person was offered an amazing job opportunity with Amazon so I had to find someone else. I was searching for a trusted, educated computer repair person and I stumbled upon Bob's business on Yelp after reading reviews. I am so amazed with the service he provided to me!!! From day one of me contacting him, Bob was HONEST AND UPFRONT with me. Did you catch those capital letters
