Advanced Data Systems Onsite Computer Srvce & Rprs

Computer repairs needed twice and we took it to this business. Not only were we treated with respect and consideration, but our computer was repaired quickly and efficiently both times. Recommended!

My computer crashed right before finals week so I took my laptop in to get fixed by Lars. At first everything seemed like it would work out… he had some plan on what he could do to get my info off my computer and said he wouldn’t charge me for it. I explained that my computer had my entire life on it and he said it would take a couple days to look at it and try loading some «special» hardware on it. To make a long story short, he had my computer for around 3 weeks and was unable to retrieve anything. When I finally told him I was done letting him «try out» all these fixes and would take it to a computer friend that lived in the South Bay, he said I owed him $ 200 for the time he spent NOT FIXING ANYTHING!!! I told him I did not feel it was fair to charge me when he hadn’t fixed anything and dragged out the entire process leaving me computerless for weeks. After minutes of going back and forth and me thinking I may never get back my laptop if I didn’t pay him the 200 bucks, he said at the least I should pay for the 4GB thumb drive he used, which I did. Oh and by the time he was done attempting to «fix» my computer he had effectively erased my entire hard drive so there was absolutely no way I would be able to get it back! This whole situation was a nightmare!
