My dog tripped over my HP laptop cord last month and broke the LCD screen. Took it back to Best Buy where I bought it, but they wanted $365 to repair it. I paid less than $500 for the laptop. Went down the street to 3 computer shops on Blackstone Ave., one went out of business (Tech City) and finally decided on Computer Mania in the Herb Bauer shopping center. First time here and the atmosphere is friendly, organized, and well stocked. The other estimate I had was $285. Computer Mania quoted me $185 total and they just happened to have a compatible screen in stock. After leaving the laptop with them, I went to the Japanese restaurant next door for lunch. The Teppan-Yaki cook told me that Computer Mania has been in business for over 15 years. After lunch, I went back to check and to my surprise, the repair was done. Laptop works like new again and has been working great for the past month. Another interesting I saw when I was there, was another older female customer bringing home baked cookies for the technicians. She complimented them for a great job recovering all her documents and pictures when her hard drive crashed. My experience at Computer Mania was excellent and I have no reservations in recommending them to anyone. BTW, had a great lunch at Yoshinos also. Will write a separate review soon.

All I can say is "WOW"...this place is pathetic. I went in there to discuss having a system made, and no one on the staff were interested in working with me to configure and purchase a system. When I first got to the counter, I smiled, and a young lady who was working on a system smiled back and said, "How can I help you?" I told her I was interested in having a system configured and built. She lost her smile and said, "Ohhhhh, ummmmm, okay, maybe this gentleman here can help you." Alrighty, maybe she is not a salesperson. I smiled and the gentleman that came to help me, and he too seemed very disinterested in helping me configure a system-he sounded bored. Nonetheless, I kept trying to engage with him in a conversation to tell him my needs, etc. After about 10 minutes of him sounding bored, his heavy sighs, etc., I just said, "You know what, Im good. Thanks for your time." He replied, "Yeah, ok, sorry! You have a good day Sir". As I was leaving, he seemed eager to join the other techs in whatever it was they were doing. They were all standing around visiting, laughing, etc. Side note, there were no other customers in the store except me.

Never fixed the problem. I had a problem with a PC shutting down abruptly. the error log suggested a bios or software incompatibility which I was unable to sort out. I took it to them and received a phone call saying that there was no data on the hard drive. The computer was working when i brought it in. Since i needed my PC back, I had them replace the HD and set up a RAID. Total price $350. I sent the old HD to manufacturer who said the HD was fine. Three months later, the same thing happens again. I bring it back in and sure enough they pull the same thing again- there is no data on the hard drive...but this time its a RAID so I know they screwed it up. I tell them to reclone it from the RAID which they did. They charged me $200 to fix their screw up and then said that all my cables are messed up and offered to tidy things up for a price. All my cables were neat and zip tied when i brought it in...they cut all the ties. In the end they fixed nothing charged me $200 and kept my computer for a week. I wont be going there again

I have called Computer Mania Inc on at least 12 occasions when I need computer parts. They are located close to my house so Im always hoping they will pick up. Ive never actually stepped into their store because they NEVER answer their phones! Sometimes the phone is busy, sometimes it goes to voice mail, and some times it just rings endlessly. I dont know what their problem is, but they NEVER pick up the phone!

Came in and asked for a simple part. Was told that they would need to know what it fits. Then pointed me to something completely different from what I asked for. I had to search the store for what I was looking for and asked to see it. While I was there, I saw them misdiagnose a customers computer. I dont recommend this place like I once did.

I dropped off my computer and they fixed it. Thats good enough for me. And on top of that, they sold my mom a computer that was refurbished for a price that seemed reasonable. I felt I was treated fairly and the guy who runs it is pretty nice too!!Trish L-A
