Computer Mechanic - Computer service in Schenectady - 2330 Watt St, USA

My experience with the computer mechanic was excellent! The price was good, and Eric was very friendly and responsive. He even helped me recover a retaining screw that was lost during the service. I'd recommend this service to anyone local who needs computer work done.

My factory amp for my car had water damage, I got a replacement aftermarket board but needed two chips from the old board to the new one. They told me they normally don’t do that’s for car stuff but told me it will be a chance , when I got it back , solder looked nice and clean and turned right on when I installed. I’m very happy with store and will recommend them for now on.

I had to have photos retrieved from a SD card that got corrupted and would not allow me to open. I dropped off the card at the store at 3:30 pm and by 6:30pm got a text from Erik they were recovered and put on a flash drive. Erik then said he was going through Amsterdam that evening and met me in Amsterdam! Went home and opened the drive and boom there was my much needed photos! Can't ask for better service!!!! Thank you Erik!! Post-Time Photography

I've utilized the services at The Computer Mechanic many times over the past 18 years. Starting out in the Niskayuna Location, this local small business maintained my computer network and the many desktop and lap tops we had. Everything from broken screens, bad batteries and many versions of windows had been maintained. In true small business fashion, Erik's computer mechanic business has been forced to adapt to technology and local economic changes. Through it all, he has kept all of my computers and systems running. I've purchased many computers from them, both built from scratch and used machines and have always been pleased with the product.

Honest prices for honest work. They will work with your budget and have several options to offer.

The worst. Brought my laptop in for the wipe and re-load special along with a new keyboard. The "owner" upsells me on getting a new battery in which I didn't think was necessary. Come to find out the battery he swapped out was worst than the factory one and my laptop completely shuts off at 35%. When I told him about the issue he pretty much shunned me. I brought it back in and he claimed to fix it with the biggest attitude ever. I'm still experiencing the issue. STEER CLEAR OF THIS PLACE.

You will NEVER find a better computer repair store than here! They are reasonably priced, honest, reliable and very informative. They go out of their way to help you and we really appreciate that. Will definitely go back and highly recommend.

UNPROFESSIONAL! My first mistake was walking into this rundown building they call a store and thinking it was legitimate, even after multiple dogs ran up to me as soon as I walked in. What if I had allergies? Anyways, I needed my computer screen fixed and the employee told me it would cost about $150-200 for the repair and that they would call me to confirm before even touching it. I get a call a few days later saying that the repair would be $250 and I declined. When I went the first time to pick my computer up it wasn't even put together properly. When I went the second time they wanted a $20 fee from me just for looking at it and refused to give me my computer back until I paid it. They had NEVER mentioned this to me before I turned this in. I refused to pay this unnecessary fee and wanted to talk to the manager but apparently his phone was broken and just comes in and out of the store randomly. A day later I got a call back saying I would be able to pick up my computer without being charged the fee. I got my computer back only after going through the hassle of going back and forth multiple times. Will never be doing business with them again. I got the same job done from a more legitimate business for only $200.
