I am very happy with the service and support I received at Glenview Computerland. My laptop was plugged in charging when I briefly lost power. The next morning when I attempted to boot up my laptop, the power light came on for about 10 seconds, then went out. I assume the brief loss of power was the result of a power surge which my laptop absorbed. I was afraid the motherboard had been fried. I brought my laptop to Glenview Computerland. They told me they would diagnose it in 24-48 hours and let me know the results. I received a call back in the time window they stated. They told me the BIOS needed to be reset and the price was very reasonable, a lot less than I was fearing had the motherboard been fried. They called me back later that day after they had successfully performed the reset. I picked up my laptop and all is well. I was very satisfied with the friendly service I received and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. (I have also since purchased a portable surge protector!)

I used their services for transferring data from an old none functioning computer to a portable drive. While Best Buy geek squad could not do the work, the technician here could do the work within two days. People are very professional and courteous. I strongly recommend their services over Best Buy geek squad or Apple genius bar. The price for the repair services are fraction of that you pay at Apple or Best Buy services. But the quality is superior than that of the services from.the name-brand stores.

Stephan had to personally take over on a repair the downtown office said would need a replacement motherboard. Turns out, no replacement was necessary. Not surprising given that it was only in for a bad waterpump. Stephan straightened it out and gave it back with all repairs I had requested. I will continue to use ComputerLand in Glenview because of his efforts.

I was visiting the Glenview area, and on a tight deadline for a project when my charger stopped working on my old laptop, which has software installed that I have to have for my work. I brought the laptop to Stefan who calmly, quickly, and effectively stepped in right away and diagnosed the problem.Stefan was able to: 1) get my computer charging again; 2) specify a new charger that would work with my old laptop; and, 3) locate a new charger model number for me on Amazon!After all this work, he didnt charge me for his time! What a refreshing treat to have someone actually take the time to get something done, pleasantly, and effectively.I highly recommend Stefan and Glenview Computerland.

I recently had my Macbook Mini computers serviced by Stefan at Computerland. Stefan is a straight ahead guy who is honest and his fees are quite reasonable. One of the computers was not repairable due to the fact that I broke the fan connector. There were multiple issues with the hard drive of the second computer. Stefan was diligent and patient because there multiple issues with the hard drive and the hard drive connector which required that he find a hard drive that would pass diagnostic tests combined with a hard drive totally functional connection cord. The final result is that the Mac Mini is now working properly without shutting down or turning on randomly. I am happy to recommend Stefan and Computerland.

Im thrilled with the service from Glenview ComputerLand on Waukegan Road. My HP desktop needed a new power supply unit, and research had already told me that the cheapest I could find one anywhere was in the $60-70 range. Geek Squad wouldnt even look at it for more than 2 weeks. I decided the installation was risky to do myself, so I took it to Glenview ComputerLand and within a week had it back with a new power unit and complete inside cleaning for $110. A computer that had become so loud we could hear it in the next room is now running completely silently. I have found my computer repair shop!

Stefan has all 5 star reviews for a reason. He took care of my problem quickly and economically. Despite my miscommunication to him he still took care of it and turned me down when I offered extra money. I also noticed how good he is with the kids in his coding classes. Do not hesitate to use his services.

Review №22

I wanted to upgrade my older HP desktop from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and was hoping to avoid having to purchase a whole new computer. After being told from other places that it might not be worth it and I would be better off buying a new one, Stefan told me to bring it in and he would take a look at it. If he didnt think it was worth upgrading, there would be no charge. Not only did he complete the upgrade, he charged a fraction of the other prices I was quoted and I was back up and running in less than 24 hrs with no loss of functionality or speed. Would definitely recommend!!

The technician replaced the power jack on my laptop. The technician walked me through the process, timeline, and costs when I dropped my laptop off, and he delivered exactly as promised. I am teacher and need my computer to prepare for my (online) class starting next week. I mentioned this to the technician to get a sense of how long the repair would take. Rather than exploiting my panic to encourage me to pay for a rush job, or to add unnecessary elements to the repair, the technician chose to be honest, and just did the work.

Review №27

I build my own computers. I am a programmer but not a hardware expert. These guys are! Whenever I build my own PCs, I am very cautious about the CPU and thermal paste because like motor oil, too much is just as bad as not enough. My CPU started running hot but not too hot to melt the motherboard. I will never remove and replace thermal paste on my own as I know that can end up with a motherboard meltdown if I screw it up! I took it to them and they could not find a problem which tells me they are honest! Then 3 weeks later it really started heating up so I called them again. They replaced the liquid cooling with a fan. Now my custom PC runs better than ever! Do go to these guys as they are honest and reasonable on pricing! I may build my own PCs which is easier than you think, but for diagnosing and fixing hardware problems (which is a skill beyond my abilities) , these guys are top notch!

This place is a genuine good and honest business. The man who I communicated with was friendly enough, they work fast and within 2 days i had my pc back in my hands and only for the charge of the diagnostic. He even threw in an extra power cable for me for no charge because I couldnt find mine. What a fantastic place. I also had my father take his laptop in as it had malware on it, they fixed it right up! Fairly priced, good work, good customer service. A+ in my book.

I was SO happy to hear ComputerLand opened a second location in Glenview more convenient to my work and home! Ive used Chicago location of ComputerLand in the past and have been extremely happy with my experience. Now, the Glenview location, doesnt disappoint me. In fact, I had a much quicker turn around for a hard drive replacement, drop off in the morning, pick up on the way home. The techs are knowledgeable and personable. Give them a try!

After reading the other great reviews I took my laptop to Glenview ComputerLand. Stefan didn’t disappoint. He quickly was able to diagnose and fix the problems. This along with a malware scan, my computer is running good as new. Thank you Stefan.

Review №34

So Extremely happy. Finding a computer tech you trust is like finding a car mechanic you can trust, with one major important difference. The computer tech has access to all of your data, all your pictures, memories and more. There are 3 qs in any service job. Quality (the level of service), Quantity (in this case the cost) and Quickness. 9 times out of 10 you can not get all 3, but I found it here. I was lucky enough to be recommended to Stephan at Glenview ComputerLand. So like I said in the beginning, I am so Extremely happy with the quality of work, the cost of the repair and the speed of getting my computer back in my hands.

I took my computer to Stephan because, as always, it was an emergency. My computer would simply not stay turned on. I couldnt use it at all. Stephan looked at it the same day, called me the next morning. Not only did he fix it within 3 days (had another problem after the first one was fixed) but explained in complete detail what he did and why it was needed.It is up and running like new despite being 7 years old. Needed a new hard drive, upgraded its RAM and changed something on the motherboard that kept me from the expense. Not the mention the expense of a whole new computer!! Thank you so much Stephan!

I brought my Macbook Pro laptop to ComputerLand of Glenview after Apple store quoted me $750 to have it repaired after Ive spilled some coffee on the keyboard. Their original estimate was $290 + tax, but at the end, they said that the repair took less time that was expected and my total, in the end, was 250$ + tax.I especially liked that they did their best to reduce the cost for me, and they answered my questions in a clear non-technical manner.Overall, I strongly recommend them, for the quality, cost, and speed of the service.

I just want to say that I have never received better customer service in any technical capacity. They were quick, professional and thorough. I had an old ASUS notebook that kept blacking out on me and I didnt know what the problem was. I dropped it off to ComputerLand, and they listened to my tale of woe and wrote everything down and told me they would call me in forty-eight hours with a diagnosis and a quote. And they did call me, as promised, on the dot. They said it was the monitor and they quoted me a very reasonable price. They told me the work would take about four business days. Then, they called me four days later and said that they received and installed the monitor, and at first everything seemed OK, but then the computer went on the fritz again. So, they did more diagnostic testing, and discovered it was the motherboard.They said they would not charge me for the new monitor. They then offered to replace the motherboard, or they could give me a refurbished computer for half the price and just transfer all my data. I chose the latter option and lo and behold! The refurbished computer is MUCH faster and better than my old notebook. I am really very happy and grateful to them. They took extra time and care to fully understand the problem and they also gave me options. Also, whenever I call them, Alex himself answers the phone. That means a lot to me- a personal touch. These guys know their stuff, and they care. Choose them.

First off, this place is possibly if not the best computer repair shop ive been to. I accidentally dumped a large amount of liquid on my gaming laptop, and i thought it was dead for sure. But i found this store online and took my soggy laptop here and to be honest i was expecting to get slapped with huge labor fees, but i am happy to say that the service cost to clean my laptop was more than reasonable and they even fixed it! I would definitely recommend this to anyone, this shop is quick and professional not to mention i was updated daily via phone call on the status of my laptop. 10/10 wouldnt go anywhere Else

Review №83

Stefan is a genius. One of our iPhones, an iPhone 6, completely stopped working. And to make matters worse, it was not backed up. Everything was allegedly lost. We took it to Abt and to the Apple Store and we were told by BOTH places that there is NOTHING they can do. They couldn’t even power it up. Now if 2 different technicians at 2 different stores give the same diagnosis, then it must be true, right? WRONG! We took the phone to ComputerLand in Glenview on Waukegan Rd and in less than 3 minutes the phone was powered up. And even better, Stefan backed the entire phone up to his laptop until we got home and did it ourselves. We’re still going to buy new iPhones and now back them up regularly, but when all hope was lost, Stefan and ComputerLand saved the day!

Stopped at the Halsted location this afternoon with a broken delete key on my laptop. Walked out 10 minutes later with a repaired laptop—and they didn’t charge me a dime. Last year, the same shop took on a bigger challenge: rebuilding said laptop after a massive crash. They did it with a smile at a fair price. These guys are good. Best of all, they do what they say they’re going to do. Highly recommended.

Stefan is a cool guy. He explained to me all possible scenarios about my computer’s (lenovo yoga 900) problem and frankly gave me possible price quotes. He was also kind to help me time wise. He somehow found better priced hardware for me than what was visible online. He kept letting me know about status of shipped items and progress of repair. He fixed my computer successfully changing my motherboard and hard drive for only $90. He made some magic on bad hard drive and recovered my data for FREE which potentially saved me from struggling very expensive data recovery work. I recommend this place friends.

Review №94

The hard drive on my laptop died. I had a new solid state hard drive installed but the big national store that did so could not retrieve the data after multiple attempts by their team. I had to have the data - not just years of critical documents, but thousands of pictures of family, trips, etc. I was told that the hard drive needed to sent out at a cost of $500-$1600!! Unbelievable! I took it to ComputerLand - Stefan said that he was more than confident that he could retrieve the data. He also said that in the off-chance that he couldnt there would be no cost! Great to see that ethical service is not totally gone these days. Bottom-line is that he retrieved the data that the big store could not at a fraction of the cost. If you ever have any computer issues or problems - do NOT waste your time going anywhere else...I highly recommend ComputerLand in Glenview
