Fantastic Experience

Vlad was really great. He was highly professional and very helpful in sorting out my problem which required a new motherboard. He did an excellent job fitting the new motherboard at a very good price.

He even helped me return the defective motherboard that was sent in error as I was outside the country, which reflects his helpful nature.

I have used his services more than once, and he helped me repair 3 different laptops. I don't go to anyone before asking him first for help.

I highly recommend that you talk to him if you have any issues with a PC before going to someone else.

I had an external hard drive containing a lot of valuable data that I was unable to access. Dropped the drive off with Vlad who managed to get all of the data on the drive recovered and transferred to a New Hard Drive. Excellent service, Vlad kept me in the loop with the progress with recovery. Very highly recommended, great customer service and communication.

Business Response 28 Mar 2024
I'm so glad I could help recover your data from the external hard drive! It's incredibly rewarding knowing that I was able to retrieve your valuable information and transfer it safely to a new drive. Understanding the importance of data, I always strive to provide thorough communication throughout the recovery process. I'm thrilled to hear that my updates kept you informed. Thank you so much for the fantastic review and kind words about my customer service. It truly means a lot! If you or anyone you know ever needs any data recovery or computer repair services in Birmingham, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always happy to help! Sincerely, Vlad
