MRO Computers help me out a great deal. I wish I knew the gentlemans name who help me out on Wednesday morning, 5/27, thanks again! Visiting this area, The West Coast from Cleveland, Ohio and didnt remember to bring the power supply for my laptop. He was a life saver for me me on having a replacement at a very reasonable cost. Thanks again.

MROs reliability and reasonable pricing have made them invaluable to me for the many years that MRO has been providing and servicing my computers. As a small business owner, downtime means no income. I know I can rely on them to effectively troubleshoot any problem, no matter how large or small, with solid technical knowledge, integrity and tenacity, and -- most importantly -- quickly. I recommend them highly.

The guy who owns the shop is great dude. The whole team was very helpful with my problems and gave me multiple different paths to take to solve it. I have all the parts I need except a GPU but they didnt have one that would be compatible. Not there fault since this is the middle of a graphics card crisis. I will definitely comeback should I need to and highly recommend this team of COMPUTER EXPERTS!

True professionals who truly wish to help the customer out. I spoke to them about a damaged touch screen monitor for an all-in-one computer and they directed me in the best way forward that would save me costly dollars and return me system back to working order. MRO computers has my highest recommendation for anyone seeking help/repairs with their electronic devices.

MRO has the best customer service. They can identify any problem quickly and work diligently to get the job done as soon as they can. If I need a computer part, they have it. Oh and their prices are great. MRO is valuable store in the community. They are all about helping our community.

I have been coming to MRO since 2005 when I relocated to VA. I googled computer repairs and MRO popped up. Mike and his employees have been keeping my compute running like a top. Mike and his employees go the extra mile to assure that my computer is working to its top performance. I would recommend MRO to anyone who is having any issues with their computers. The customer service at MRO is impeccable. I could not have chosen a better establishment to utilize. MRO, U GUYS ARE AWESOME!!! Keep up the awesome jobs that you are doing, and God Bless and B Safe. Thanks again from the bottom of my heart .

With everything a teacher needs to be able to do for her students, the useless technology in the school system wasnt cutting it. I love my job so I dove into my familys savings to get a computer that would help me reach my students and provide them with an education. Tech is not my strength area, but Mike walked me through and went through every perk and detail I needed to know in order to be successful in my job. He is beyond educated and hard working for his customers. MRO has got a client for life!

I went in on sort of an emergency since my laptop got fried by a coffee spill. Mike was very helpful and got directly to the point, telling me what he could or couldn’t do and making sure I knew what I needed. Was very knowledgable and genuine and actually helped me save money. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area!

Within minutes, he had called me back, listened attentively, and gave me some advice on how to proceed.

Review №28

Had a Dell laptop that was about 3 years old and was not performing in any way it should have been. I tried fixing and replacing the DC Jack myself. Thats another story, a fail to say the least. I searched for a repair shop and came across MRO and boy am I glad I did! I was very skeptical and weary about someone possibly trying to take advantage of me (money wise). Mike was very friendly, patient, likeable and even more knowledgeable and helpful. He took a look at my laptop and we discussed and laughed at my subpar repair attempt. Within minutes of turning it on he was able to tell me exactly what was wrong and why. He answered my many many questions and was very detailed about everything he wanted to do to fix my laptop. He advised me about what I should do based on what Id be using the computer for.So many things wrong with my laptop I thought Id have to just get a new one. It wouldnt hold a charge, touch pad stopped working, slow, s l o w, SLOW!!!! No antivirus protection anything. Whew.I picked my laptop up a few days later and I lie to you not, ITS FASTER AND BETTER THAN THE DAY I BOUGHT IT!!!I couldnt believe it! Im so grateful I trusted Mike with my laptop. 10/10 would recommend and MRO will be my computer place!Do yourself a favor and allow this amazing company to take care of you and your needs! You wont regret it.

Local, thorough, helpful, and knowledgeable. Big companies like Newegg and Amazon make it hard for a local company like MRO, but if you are looking for knowledgeable local service, please check these guys out. Veteran owned and responsive, MRO likes to give INFORMATION along with their products and services. You will walk out of here knowing more about computers than when you walked in. They are flexible and understanding, and are very loyal to earn and keep their clients.

Mike and Shane have worked on all my families computers for several years. two years ago my oldest daughter went to college, my youngest started high school.

MRO Computers did a great job fixing my computer at a fair rate. After telling the owner Mike on the phone what seemed to be wrong with the computer, he gave me a very accurate amount as to what it would cost. No shock, or hidden costs! They also come to your house, and to me the little extra cost was worth it rather than dropping the computer off. This is a family owned business, so I felt even more confident of not getting ripped off. Mike Jr. is patient, talented and terrific. A Happy Customer.

I was in panic mode after my laptop started crashing. I took it in for repair - hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst. It was the best possible outcome. They were able to save ALL of my data and installed a much faster system. I never knew my computer could be this fast. I blamed most of the slowness on my internet provide - Oops, it was the laptop. All I had to do was re-install MS Office, which was not hard at all.Many thanks to Mike and David at MRO Computers. I will definitely use them again.

Review №40

The staff at MRO are first rate. I just had a miracle on 41st kind of experience. Instead of trying to sell me something I did not need, David helped me choose the right part for the easy repair. The location may be a little hard to find from the outside, but it is worth the search. Kind trustworthy people are not common these days.I had a great experience and will certainly be back for future needs. If you are not certain who to go to for computer repair assistance skip the big box stores and go to the professionals at MRO. Kind professional and honest. Simply a first class operation, but with a common man touch that makes you comfortable.

Review №43

I’ve been using MRO services for many years and wanted to write this review to show my appreciation for their honesty, great service and fair pricing. First, I’m a fairly savvy computer operator and understand the basics and some advance functions of various type of operating systems. My initial interaction with MRO was to have data retrieved/recovered from what I thought was a crashed and unrecoverable system. After the initial diagnostic, MRO’s team determined that my computer had a virus, and was able to remove and restore my operating system to its normal functions. I immediately subscribed to MRO’s monitoring services and haven’t had any problem for the next several years. Meanwhile, years later I brought the same computer in for a tune-up thinking that it was time to purchase a new system. Nevertheless, with the recommendations of a few upgrades, my system is running better than ever. As a result, I’ve been able to keep my computer longer than usual. Finally, you won’t find a more personable and upfront service center for all your computing needs. Completely satisfied!!!

I have been taking my sick computers to MRO for the last 10 years. I was a school teacher when I first found this company. I have left happy and have always had a happy computer. Teachers can really put some data on a computer. You want to see someone cry? Well, tell a school teacher that all her lesson plans are gone. THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED WITH ME. This is a professional and knowledgeable company. Now I have retired and I still go in with my computer. I played (OK, I tried to fix it myself) I just knew everything would be lost. The salesperson was as friendly and courteous as could be. When I returned opened my fixed computer there to my surprise were all the pictures of my grand-babies and new puppy. My computer works perfectly. Thank you for your excellent customer service.

Ive known Mike and his team since 2002 when I purchased my first custom built system. I have purchased four systems from Mike over the years and have never had any issues. I know that if I would have had any issues, Mike would stand solidly behind his work. Mike has always gone the extra mile and made great suggestions based on my computing needs. Their professionalism and customer service is second to none. Simply stated, MRO is the best computer store and service center in Tidewater.Thanks Mike for making my life easier!

Review №49

I initially went into MRO because liquid was spilled into my laptop. Not water but soda.... Lesson learned, do not let children with sodas play near laptops. We flipped the laptop over instantly and called MRO. When it was brought in they cleaned the keyboard and replaced the CMOS battery. The laptop appeared then to be in good working condition and when tested upon pickup, all was well. Because of how the laptop was running the problem initially seemed not as serious...until I brought it home and this loud persistent beep began happening. Now in most instances businesses would use this opportunity to start the whole process over and recharge me the check-in fee but when I called I talked to Mike who told me to bring the laptop back with no new check-in fee, to get an idea of the issue. The new approach for solving the issues the laptop was a little more involved, I was quoted and paid a price for the parts and left my computer with them for the repairs. I received a call when all the repairs were complete and spoke with Mike again who informed me that I would be receiving a partial refund for the parts I paid for as it cost them less than they had anticipated. The computer is amazing and works like new, they were so eager to solve the problem and get the laptop back to how it was. They answered all my questions and were very kind and informative. I hope I never have any incidents regarding sodas and laptops, but if anything happens I know exactly the place to take it to fix the issues!

My experience with the professionals at MRO is outstanding. They listened to my needs and designed a computer with high-end components that exceeded my expectations and will be upgradable for many years. While many big-box store computers might fail or become obsolete in 2-3 years, I feel confident that the computer they built for me will last a long time and is worth the cost difference. They are always available to answer questions and their in-home monitoring service is well worth the small monthly charge.

These guys are AWESOME!!! And Im not one to give out reviews lightly.Ive been using this company for at least eight years, and they have always been ready to immediately help me with any issue Ive had with a computer. I went in once with my backup drive that I had been told by the geeks was dead and no data could be retrieved. MRO took it from me and worked zealously on it, taking it apart and repairing it. They searched high and low for the name of the file that I had to have. I then received a call from them that it was ready, and when I went in and was told the good news that they have gotten all the data back and found my file, I literally broke down in tears!!!! Please, before you need this kind of help, enlist their guidance and expertise to show you how to be smart and protect your computer. You will not be sorry!!!S. Feehery

Worth the wait. After my laptop screen was broken I took it to a chain repair shop. Dissatisfied with poor customer service and flippant behavior I took my computer to MRO Computers based on a coworkers recommendation. It was a little out of the way for me, but far better. They took the time to explain everything with me and laid out all my options. Which included an option to upgrade my harddrive while they had it open to repair the screen. This turned out to be an outstanding choice as the drop had caused my harddrive to begin to fail. If I had gone with the first shop I would have ended up with an expensive paperweight or more required repairs. Thank you Mike and his team at MRO. You made me feel valued and understood. Also being Military friendly always helps.

I just cant say enough positive about MRO Computers. . I have a MacBook Pro from 2011. It was running slow. MRO doubled my RAM to 8GB and copied my slow 5,400 rpm @ 500GB to a Western Digital Black drive that is 7,200 rpm and 750 GB. It was like getting a new Mac computer for $365.00. The staff is professional and friendly. They explained everything for me. English is a second language for me, yet the staff went out of their way to be patient and make sure I understood all before proceeding. They even have a Remote Managed service for my Mac starting at just $9.00 USD per month. I live in Venezuela and they can fix my system for me. Thank you MRO Computers. Wish I could give more than 5 stars... !!! :))

I have taken 2 desktops, and a couple laptops to Mike and his crew for service. Everything from software issues bogging down my system to a hard drive crash, the MRO gang solved the problem and got me back on line quickly. Now, I was able to bring my PCs to them verse having an in-home or on-line service, but I am sure those services would be handled just as expertly. The thing I liked the most, my problem was treated as though it was their problem. I felt like they attached the same sense of urgency to finding a resolution as I did. Thanks gang.

Having little to no knowledge about computers and my minimum needs for hardware as a business professional, I turned to Michael Barnes of MRO Computers to build one of my most recent Personal Computers.Michael and his staff took the building of my new computer to their personal max for professionalism, my needs for specific capabilities, and delivered a machine that can do everything but wash dishes! They used state of the art electronics, and my hard drive for my software applications is a circuit board not a mechanical drive, which ensures my machine will last a long time and work hard for me.(Unfortunately - or maybe fortunately? - my PC worked so well, my husband and business partner decided to take it to his office to use and its been a work horse ever since.).I would absolutely recommend Michael Barnes and MRO Computers & Astronomy as a go to business partner for building specific and unique computer systems. They ALSO provide Remote Managed Services globally.Dawn D. Boyer, Ph.D.D. Boyer Consulting, Virginia Beach, VAwww(dot)DBoyerConsulting(dot)com

Would NOT recommend taking anything there. Owner is rude........prices are too high. Spent $465.00 on fixing my computer then called about a power cord the VERY NEXT DAY. Was informed it was either $5.00 or $10.00 depending on the type. My business partner went to pick it up........the OWNER looks it up online and sees that there is also $6.00 shipping.......SO......he tags the shipping cost on to the $10.00 cord and says well, we are like 7-11, we have it right here...........and charged me $20.00???. Then we got it home and figured out it was the wrong cord......called him.......oh, we cant take it back....says so on the receipt.........REALLY???. BAD BUSINESS. Also........go next door to Winstons and ask THEM about their experience with MRO
