Junior communicated well, provided me with a spot on estimate, then repaired my laptop in the quoted time (ended up repairing it even quicker, it only took about an hour.) He also found another issue my laptop had, and he repaired that as well. All of this was done for a very fair and reasonable price. I was skeptical at first, as I am with most repair people, but not anymore. I have found my PC repair man and it feels great!

WOW!!! The owner is the sweetest young lady ever. I wanted to spruce up my basement, and boy let me tell you, it was not in the best condition after the boys moved out to college, and now it's redesigned and it even sparkles. She was extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful and found ways to tie in my style, my husband's budget, and my boy's memorabilia. Again the basement is such a calm space now because of this lovely designer. I could go on but for now, I'd say if you need some assistance, to give her a call.
