Servatek Computers

Servatek rocks! Brought in daughter’s computer due to operating system file issues. They loaded windows 7 and out the door same day. Very reasonable price for fast service. Extremely, satisfied highly recommend.

Always great service. Very reliable and knowledgeable. Always a fair price and never have let me down

Servatek is a small strip-​mall type store, so you can’t expect a huge selection like Fry’s, but if you live in South Sac or Elk Grove, they’re a lot closer than Fry’s! The merchandise is a mixed bag of new and used computer equipment and accessories, and they have a service area in the back to do repairs. It’s a good place to buy accessories like a mouse, wifi router, cables, chassis fans, or a new larger hard drive or memory upgrade; the kind of hardware parts and accessories that you would otherwise probably have to drive to Fry’s to buy as WalMart amd Target only carry basic stuff like mice. It’s especially a good idea to let the tech in the store help you with a memory upgrade, as DRAM memory modules have changed many times in the last few years, and you DON’T want to mix DRAM modules with differing specs on the same motherboard. As always with any retail business, it’s a good idea to phone them before you drive over, just to make sure they carry the item you have in mind. The staff has always been very helpful and friendly, and it says something about them that they’ve been at their current location for so many years. A few years ago, they used to build you a new desktop PC customized with exactly the hardware you wanted, but I understand they quit offering that service as it just took up too much space to store all the parts needed to build complete computers.

I located Servatek after using Unilocal to find a good laptop repair shop. My computer locked up and would not perform after downloading Windows 10. Servatek did a reset of my computer and it’s back to new. My laptop was returned within 24 hours, looking cleaner, faster, and effective as ever. I plan to keep it this way by not downloading anything and keeping my personal file on a portable hard drive.

I bought a used laptop (Toshiba) and it kept shutting off on me. I would charge it all the way and it would die within 30 minutes. I ended up switching the laptop for another used one (hp) and that one kept shutting off on me too. I had to go back in there notifying them about it shutting off on me and they tell me oh i have to order a new battery. So I did. The life span of that battery is only 2 hours long but seems like 45 minutes long. They should at least have the decency to check the life span on the battery and order a new battery if it needs one before someone buys it. The inside was also very cramped and it looked like everything was everywhere like they didn’t know how to organize. The Laptops are also EXTREMELY slow.

Bought some SATA 3.0 cables from these guys awhile back. They gave me a FAR better deal (only 10 bucks for 2!) than any online deals I could find. Furthermore, they were the only store in town that had what I was looking for (even RadioShack didn’t have them and had to refer me to these guys).

i have only been there once for a random adater i needed for a home theatre computer project. I first called and the employee was very nice and helpful. Based on that i came in and bought what i needed instead of buying from amazon. i will gladly be a repeat customer.

I’ve been to this place twice once for my broken AC jack on my Toshiba Satellite and the second time for a spyware/​virus issue on my desktop. Both times they were friendly, they did exactly what they said they would, quickly and for a reasonable price. Plus you get a 3% discount for paying with cash. Both my laptop and PC are running perfectly. I’d recommend them to anyone especially if you hate big box stores like I do.

Awesome review, so I took my Dell laptop in for service. The diagnostic fee is $ 40.00. I did some research online before coming in. I think my laptop got the Black Screen of Death symptom. The laptop was in for service for the weekend. Servatek call me on Monday to tell me the problem is the graphic card so to fix this will cost around $ 500.00. Basically a new motherboard replacement. I could spend that amount on a brand new laptop so I paid diagnostic fee and took my laptop back home. I brought myself a new laptop and gave my broken laptop to my sister’s friend. It took him a few month and he found out the problem. It was the software conflict causing the screen to turn black. He reformat the hard drive and installed a new OS and everything is working. I having been using my old laptop this past 3 days without any problem. My sister’s friend also told me a lot of screw in the laptop was missing and some screw was really in tight. I guess someone unscrew something and never screw it back. A new motherboard was probably the excuse so they don’t have to fix the laptop.

Excellent and prompt service.

Customer service is horrible. Most importantly, once you pay for your service, what little customer service they may have had goes out the door completely. Within an hour of getting my computer fix it crashed and they basically told me it was my fault. Never again. i wouldn’t recommend them to my worst enemy.

My work desktop would not turn on! Hubby freaked me out by saying it was a virus. Ohhh nooo! Not on my work pc!
Hubby said go to the little place near Wal-​Mart. After checking Unilocal reviews I agreed.
Called first. The dude seemed nice, asking questions like, «So what happened?» Listening to my whining empathetically… he said it doesn’t sound like a virus (to my relief) but come n take it in (crossing my fingers).
Shopped around a bit more on prices before driving there:
Servatek does a diagnostic for my desk top for $ 40.
Geek squad @ Best Buy was doing for about $ 60.
Uh.nooo.
Took it to Servatek & was told they’d have an answer in 2 days. Fair enough. Can pay now, or pay later. Decided to pay later. BTW u casn pay 3% less if you pay cash.
It was done by around 1pm 2 days later.
Found out it was no biggie, dirty connecters. He wouldn’t charge to clean ‘em just the diagnostic test that was it. Yeeyuh! Touchdown!
I’m on my work pc now obviously doin work stuff (um.yeah.) & it works fine. :)
Good service. check
Good price. check
Do what they say will do when they say will do it.check.
Yeah I’ll b back.

I discovered this place a few years back while driving to the Wal-​Mart shopping center. It is located in the middle of a strip mall. At the time, my boyfriend and I were both having computer issues. My desktop was getting old & outdated, while my BF’s laptop was trying to fall apart. One of the tech guys helped us, whom I think may be the owner. He was very nice and patient with all our questions and our limited computer knowledge. I felt very comfortable with his recommendations. Needless to say it came down to either paying a whole lot of money for repairs that may not be feasable or move on to refurbished /​practically new replacement computers. You’re probably saying «of course, they would try to sell us their products»! But I was kind of hoping for a new system anyway, and was pleased that the prices were very reasonable! I could have run over to Wal-​Mart for comparible computers, but to my pleasant surprise, the Wal-​Mart systems lacked a lot of the extras that were already installed in our new ones! I was so happy with our purchases, that I went back later to buy a laptop for my dad! Now we are all 3 happy campers!
This shop is well stocked with just about anything a computer geek might need for the do-​it-​your-​selfers. They do just about anything from repairs, upgrades, to custom configuring!
It’s even cheaper to purchase your anti-​virus software here instead of renewing online!
I will continue to be a loyal customer of Servatek for all of my computer needs!

When you live in the south area you have to travel north or further to get a lot of the components you need to build a computer, if you’re into that kind of thing… and you’re always in the market for a firearm. well, it turns out that i just happen to be a computer tech, gamer, and all around IT nerd. when i started working for the company i work for over a year ago i got stuck with delivery duties because i was the «new guy». they sent me down 65^th over to where the toys’r us used to be, and they sent me unarmed. i was like «wtf» and my coworker was like «i no rite!» and then we went into this very small store in the hood that sold computer hardware. since that time they have moved to elk grove by wall mart (near the golden 1) where it is safer and theres the possibility of good coffee… and jimboys.
Due to limited size, there was limited supply and they deal primarily in ASUS components in store, but the store owner has never hesitated to be able to get his hands on whatever we needed (except dangerous firearms and womd). i don’t pay exorbitant prices there and im treated with respect and the business is done fairly quickly. if i buy something there, im usually happy with it and im anxious to buy things there again when im done.
ive had to get some strange internal power source connectors, RAM in a hurry, dvd players, mice, usb cables, DVI cords, power supplies, flat screen monitors, hard drives, computer chassis, and of course operating systems and firearms… well not firearms. one of my coworkers even ordered a gaming laptop through them and got a better rate than other internet resellers even if you threatened them with firearms, which they don’t sell at Movatek.
so, if you’re a nerd (or a sexy nerd like me), or you live with a nerd. and you don’t like going into the big chain stores… and you don’t like talking to sales people. and you don’t want to have them print out a bunch of junk and sell you like 4,000 warranties and rebates… if you just want to go in and get your computer parts and get home and put it together. and you don’t want a hassle if you have to return it because it doesn’t work or whatever. do yourself a favor and go to Movatek. leave your firearms at home.
