This is the best computer software repair place ever. Not only do they do excellent work but their customer service is off the charts. You can’t go wrong here. You even have the option of buying new equipment through them. They go the extra mile to not only support you but get you to where you need to be. I wish I could give more than just the five stars for I would give them 100

Chad was so kind and helpful! I have a 2020 MacBook Pro which had a broken display screen. I called around to a bunch of places to get quotes including the Apple store and Chads was by far the best! I went with him, and he was so friendly and willing to work with my time crunch ( I had to get it fixed in 7 days because I was moving out of the country at the end of the week) the piece he ordered to fix my computer unfortunately came in damaged and because of my time crunch I was not able to wait for him to re order a new one. Chad was so kind and understanding, he apologized for the piece arriving damaged and did not charge me anything! I know if the piece had come in undamaged my laptop would be good as new, and if I wasn’t leaving the country I would have left it with him. I would highly recommend Chad to anyone and will definitely use him again when I’m back in the area!

Chad/Cary Grove Computers is the BEST of the best! I wish I could give 10 stars! I was having issues with my MacBook and called Apple support at least a dozen times to assist. Apple support never knew what to do or what was causing the issue. Chad identified and FIXED the issue within MINUTES of me explaining what was going on. He is very responsive via email and extremely helpful. This will be my go to computer repair service from here on out.

These folks are great. Everytime I take my PC in, they take care of me. Recently, I got my PC repaired, and 2 days later broke it when I fell on it. I fried my video card and killed one of my fans from the accident. Replacing those 2 things cost over $500 and they repaired it at cost only without adding additional charges. Most places wouldnt do that, but they did.

Im lucky that CG Computers is close by. I initially needed some help with my old desktop. I brought it in and they fixed it quickly, at what I thought was a very reasonable cost.Ive also had them replace the batteries on two of my Iphones. They did these in a couple of hours and at a very reasonable price.I recommend them. Theyre an excellent resource.

Did you know they FIX GAMING SYSTEMS!?! Yep, they dont just buy old ones, they fix them too. My 8 year old hadnt played his WiiU in years and wanted to play an OG version of a game. The handheld console didnt work. Chad was able to fix it quickly and at an amazing price. Also, if you are looking for a place to recycle your small electronics, he does that too! Amazing Cary family man and an amazing business. We will be purchasing our next computer from him for sure.

Great service! Chad was friendly, quick, and very helpful! I brought in my 4 year old laptop in to see if it could be fixed, after he inspected it he informed me of what was wrong and gave me options to fix it, but he was honest and told me it was not worth it due to its age and the price to fix it. Then he pulled my data from the dead laptop and gave me a lot of options on what to do next. After I bought a new laptop, he also helped me transfer all of my data to the new one, and then once again after I exchanged the laptop for a different one. I highly recommend this company, excellent work and great customer service!

Chad and the staff at Cary Grove Computer Repair are amazing at their job! We brought our Nintendo Switch to the shop to be repaired and they were so prompt in fixing it. They are eager to help, personable, knowledgable, and talented. We are beyond thrilled with their help and so happy to know that they can repair game systems too! We’ve used them for computers and iPads and are excited they do game systems too! Highly recommend this shop for anyone with computer, ipad, and gaming system repairs!

Just to thank Chad @ Cary Grove Computers, for his professionalism & work on my laptop repair. Its fan went belly up & my DIY try ended up making things worse. Asked if he could try to undo the mess and tho he tried, Id bollixed things up beyond make right.I offered to pay towards his time but he refused - I cant charge you for it he said. I appreciated & admire his standards and would not / will not hesitate to use Cary Grove Computer the next time. (But Ill just let a pro handle the problem to begin with.)

I brought my beloved Dell touchscreen laptop to Chad at Cary Grove Computers, with a shattered screen and a battery that wouldnt charge anymore and some other stuff. He was able to fix it to perfection. I also needed a new charging cord and had bad luck using knock off brands in the past. He ordered me a new Dell charger. The communication and professionalism from the shop is outstanding! I had this done shortly after Covid started and they were way ahead of the game for social distancing and disinfecting too. (I procrastinate terribly, when it comes to reviews) But I had to do this one. They are awsome.

I have been going to Cary Grove computers for almost 5 years now, always honest assessment of repair and sound advice if replacement is better.

Great service and selection and if it isn’t in stock, just ask... usually Chad can find it for you.

Chad recommended that I replace the hard drive with a solid state drive and suggested the exact model. He opened the computer and installed the new drive. Chad also re-installed the operating system and gave me advice for saving all of my personal files. The computer operates like a new machine. Wow, what an improvement! This was all done in one day and the cost was very reasonable.

I called Chad to inquire about a broken screen on my laptop. He was able to quote me a rough estimate. I dropped the computer off at his business and asked him to inspect the computer for any other possible damage from when it was dropped. After analyzing the computer, he told me it was in good working condition and stated it was worth repairing the computer. 4 days later it was repaired and working better than when it was brought in for service. Chad was true to his word and a pleasure to deal with.

I have gone to Cary Grove Computers for many years for all my laptop issues. In the past they were able to save my laptop when it was infected with a virus.

I needed to get my sisters laptop up and running. Called Chad and he was able to diagnose a hdd failure. He had it up and running with a ssd in just a couple of days. Because his price was fair, and his service impeccable, my husband had a larger ssd drive put in his laptop. As my husband uses his laptop for his business, we needed quick turnaround. Chad worked with us on this and was able to install the new ssd and clone the system in about 3 hours. My husband is thrilled and we will continue to use Chad to handle all of the other computer issues that come up from time to time. I would highly recommend!!!!!!

As a computer enthusiast, I really enjoy my gaming pc. Since I lack the skills to install most components myself I have to rely on someone else to do that when a component breaks or if I just wanted to treat myself to the next gen motherboard or CPU. I wouldnt go anywhere else than to Cary Grove Computers. Ive brought my pc in twice now for major upgrades and Chad is always very nice, professional and will answer any questions I may have. The prices for these services are extremely reasonable and the computer has always been ready long before I figured it would be done. Go to Cary Grover Computers, you wont be disappointed. Theyre honest, careful with your machine and extremely knowledgeable. I wouldnt trust my pc anywhere else.

A true treasure to have found Chad and his company,  Cary-Grove Computers. My husband and I purchased one of his refurbished Mac computers and it is AMAZING!  Chad was okay with us making a few payments towards it.  Chad helped us out with navigating this new find.  My family and I were only PC users.  Chad had all the patience of a saint with answering the many questions we had; but also provided a mini hands on class to get both my husband and I up and running.  We will with no doubt return to Cary-Grove Computers for all our computer needs.  Also - Chad replaced the damaged screen for our laptop at a very fair price and had it returned to us in a short period of timewarmest of thanks, galats of fox river grove, il

I would never take my Mac anywhere else. I have used Cary Grove Computers twice now to fix separate issues with my computer and I have always received the best customer service and repair options! They are reasonable, forward and extremely honest with what needs to be done. And, they do not try and tack on any “hidden fee’s” or unnecessary charges to your repair. The owner even leaves the option of “after hours” help, and is great about responding to any questions.12/10 would recommend anyone with a computer problem (whether it be software, or physical repair) to check out!

I was looking to sell my old computers. At first I was very hesitant about leaving my computers with someone I didnt know and whether or not Id get a fair price. Boy was I surprised! Chad is very upfront and honest about what your items are worth. He took the time to explain to me why he offered the price he did. He also made feel comfortable in the fact that he would completely wipe my computers clean so no one ever get my information.He responded quickly to my text when I initially contacted him regarding my computers. He told hed look at them at a specific time and get back to me. He did what he said and by the end of the day I was extremely happy.I would not hesitate to buy a computer or bring my old computers back to him anytime. Hes fair and honest. Thats a rare quality these days.

Our computer was no longer recognizing our monitor. After looking at local reviews, decided to bring it to Cary Grove Computers. The owner worked to find a problem but after three days said that everything looked good. He was very helpful and very good at keeping us updated on how the work was going. Brought the computer home plugged it in and worked right away, as things go ... He seems to have great prices on new and refurbished computers and the service charge was very reasonable. Great experience overall.

Chad could not have been more helpful. Brought my sons laptop in for a broken charger port. Told him we were hoping to have it back within a couple weeks. He fixed it in a matter of hours. When my son brought the computer home, it would not reboot. Brought it back to Chad. He was puzzled but assured us he would do whatever he could to fix the problem. Chad did some research and as it turned out, there was a MS software update that was reeking havoc on many computers. Chad spoke with my son, and promised him that he would try his best to get the computer fixed within the two week timeline. He fixed it by the next day! Chad did not charge us for the second repair. His excellent costumer service skills are a beyond compare to anything I have experienced in the recent time. Would highly recommend them!
