I am so thankful for Silicon Solutions! After being out of town several days, I came home to a dead computer. Thankfully I reached out to a friend who recommended Silicon Solutions. I was afraid I had lost all my data, but they rescued it! Not only that, but I took them another drive I had been holding on to for four years that I thought was also dead and they managed to retrieve that data as well! I am amazed. I would have paid them twice as much (or more) than what they charged. They are professional, talented, awesome people! Jason and William worked on my projects and I am eternally grateful for rescuing important client documents and family photos!

I LOVE THEIR SERVICES!!! I have had a couple laptops repaired and each time they do an awesome job, they give great customer service and they keep you abreast of unforeseen problems so there are no “hidden fees” when you come to pick up you computer. My son is very fussy and persnickety about his laptop because he makes music on his, and even he is impressed by how well they always do! I have and will always recommend them, this place is FANTASTIC! Nigel and I thank you!

Went in to get a Motherboard replaced and capture card installed. Everything was done in a VERY timely manner. Couldnt ask for faster, speedier service. I wouldnt recommend sending your hardware anywhere else but this place.On the plus side: Everyone is very knowledgeable as well, which is a plus. Ill be back tomorrow for a new build, and I couldnt be more confident about how things will turn out.

Great service and prices. Gave my computer a second life, making it faster than when it was brand new. The turnaround was fast and the staff communicated clearly so I knew what I was paying for, and why I needed it. Definitely recommending them to friends and going back when needed.

Absolute Excellent Service! Prices On Point. Swift, No Nonsense Service. Everyone In Facility Extremely Helpful And Knowledgeable. Technican Jacob Went Above And Beyond To Help Resolve An Issue Between My Laptop And DJ Hardware. I Was Very Impressed With His Diligent And Tenacious Research Skills. Owner Jason Was Instrumental In Overseeing And Ensuring My Issue Was Completely Addressed Also. Would Definitely Recommend This Business To Family And Friends.

My main work computer just beeped at me this morning. They guys were super nice and helpful. They fixed all of the problems and had my computer back to me by noon, at a fraction of the cost I was expecting! They even loaded it in my car for me! I cant say enough good things!

They have the gently used/old things I don’t have the room or need to keep on hand. Yes, I’ll probably end up repurchasing what I’ve donated to Goodwill and other places over the years, but it certainly saves on clutter at home.

I just spent almost 1400 to not receive everything to make may purchase work. I bought a desktop with two monitors, they told me that they both would work using the home. I get home and only one will plug into unit. Im not happy about this purchase at all. I was very specific on making sure I had everything and the sales person told me I did. While opening everything I found out I did not.

This is the best computer repair place Ive been to in this area. Great guys. Very knowledgeable, helpful, polite, and professional. They fixed our problem and had us up and running by the next day. Very trustworthy and their pricing is affordable. They also sell a bunch of stuff so if youre looking for something give them a call. They can order things too. The parking lot is very tiny so be careful getting in and out. I highly recommend them.

Jacob was extremely helpful fixing my MacBook after it seemed to have died on me at the worst time. He did all he could to get it running quickly and didnt stop until everything was working like new again. Great service at a very affordable price compared to others in the area. Couldnt recommend these guys any more!

Review №25

My MacBook Air has been running really slow over the past month with opening a few applications. My first instinct was to go to Best Buy but I wouldn’t dare pay the $150 they advertised. So I did my research and was super glad I did! Jacob, the MacBook specialist, gave me an estimate when I first walked in and when I picked it up it was even cheaper than I expected. It didn’t take him long to clean it up and return it. You can’t go wrong with this place or the people who work here. The smooth and seamless process of getting your technology fixed is incomparable.

Couldnt recommend these guys more. They spent way more time answering questions and providing feedback than they get paid to do and sold me some extremely solid equipment that saved me close to 300 dollars. Thanks specifically to Will and Jacob for putting up with me and providing honest answers and insightful feedback

A++!!! I cannot say enough good things about Silicon Solution. Every single person I met was friendly and knowledgeable. I am a small business owner and run two businesses off of the same computer. One night it shut down on its own and would not restart. As you can imagine, I panicked that my files might be lost. My entire life is on that computer! Silicon Solution reassured me that everything was safe and they took care of all of my computer problems. They got my old computer up and running and they refurbished a second computer for me with more memory and transferred all of my data. They were fast, friendly, professional and their price was extremely reasonable. If youre trying to figure out where to go for your computer needs, look no further. This place was awesome! :)

Prices are what they are, but you wont find a better businessman in South Carolina. They are some of the friendlier variety and they get to know their regulars very well. Business the way it shoukd be done. Keep up the great, honest work.

Review №33

I would have given no stars if allowed. I purchased a motherboard, brought it home opened the box and saw that the packaging in fact was not that of a brand new motherboard, we plugged it up and it doesnt work.When I took back it get a replacement or a refund the guy in charge was aggressive,Making excuses that we had to have done something to the part. Well, after a bit of talking he calledanother man over and told him to hook it up to see if we were telling the truth. Low and behold, it didnt work. So he reluctantly replaced with a cheaper motherboard and gave us 13$ back. Not even two months later this motherboard stopped working as well.In my experience I will not do business with this place again.

This is the only local hardware/service store I patronize. The owner (Bill) is very knowledgeable and willing to help in any way he can. Competitive pricing for new and refurbished hardware. They have distributors for days: if you are looking for a specific piece they can find it. Having a local business that stands by their products and allows me to pickup what I need quick fast and in a hurry is priceless. No shipping woes for returns/exchanges/defects. I trust this business. Ive been a customer for seven years. Solid.

Silicon Solutions has built two desktops for me--one four years ago and one this week. Very fast service and very fast desktop with no bloatware.

I had a problem with my laptop which I use everyday for work. Spoke with Bill on the phone who was friendly and accommodating. When I got to the store Jason got right to work on my machine and was able to get me back up and running during my lunch break. They really saved me! Great service, fair prices. I highly recommend Silicon Solutions.

My motherboard and video card decided to commit seppuku one night while I was playing a game. With no means of testing this out myself, I just knew that some local shop was going to ream me. How happy I was to be wrong! This place is great, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the prices are fair. I will definitely return for any further stuff thats outside my ability to repair.

Review №44

Ive had two experiences with Silicon Solutions now, and both were extremely satisfactory. Bill, the owner, is very helpful and worked with me both times to fit my needs. The second time there was an issue with the pricing of the work done, and Bill actually gave me a discount for the inconvenience; its rare to find customer service like this anymore. Long story short, if you need repair work done you will get a very reasonable quote and the repair will get done on time and correctly.

Jason really helped me out this morning! My laptop wouldnt stay on and I took it them for help. I left my laptop with them, went back to my car... I hadnt been in my car 5 minutes when he comes to get me and says hes got it on. He logged into the wifi, let me transfer a few important documents as backup, put my computer back together and sent me on my way! Im super thankful for his help and quick response!

Ive been going to Silicon Solutions for almost 10 years now. I dont need to get help very often with computer problems but when I do, the FIRST place I call is ALWAYS Silicon Solutions. They have the best customer service and great prices to go along with it. I can always count on them to do the job and to do it right. Also, they are extremely fast to get your computer back to you. I highly recommend this place to anyone with a computer problem or if you want a custom built computer, because they do that too. 100% satisfied!!!

I recently brought a partially assembled custom build of mine to Silicon Solutions. They had all the parts I needed to complete the computer and they assembled it for me. Bottom line-These guys are fast, efficient, cost effective, do clean work, are extremely nice, and the list goes on. If you are seeking a solution to anything related to computers please drop by Silicon Solutions and find out what Im talking about. Im sure to be a repeat customer from here on out.-Thanks Guys!Graham H. McKain

Couldnt be happier with these guys.I work in esports, need a top-of-the-line computer, and have very little technical know-how. The owner and others knew exactly what I needed when I came in and asked about specs, then helped me set it up when there was a problem with adding more memory.10/10

Expert service right down to the very little details. I was in a jam when my work computer hard drive failed. I wish I had called them from the beginning. They sold me a replacement drive for less than what best buy was advertising, AND I get to deal locally. I was actually on my way to BB and was surprised that Silicon was open until 6pm. Great service, great prices, and close by.

Excellent, Affordable, Quick Service. Took my laptop here after I electrocuted my laptop (I shocked it when I grabbed the laptop, and the keyboard stopped working).

Review №63

Awesome service. My computer wasnt booting up so I brought it over to Silicon Solutions and they started troubleshooting it the second I walked in the door. Turned out to be some silly minor problem which was fixed by just unplugging and plugging back in some wires on the motherboard. Instead of price gouging me $30 like some other places would, they didnt even charge me. They know how to make a happy customer and I will definitely be coming back for any future PC problems. They even sell used PCs and other PC parts so I will be checking here first next time I need anything. Highly recommend these guys.

Great service. Great price. The solid state drive went out on my Dell XPS 13. I did not know what happened, I was getting the blue screen of death. SS diagnosed the problem and installed a new SSD.

Let me just say this, Im extremely sensitive to other people handing my computer. The people at Silicon Solutions are the only people I trust with it. Im a pretty tech savvy guy myself. I wouldnt take my computer in at the first sight of a problem because I can usually fix it myself. Nevertheless, When all hope is lost I know I can go here; where not only are the prices really good but theyre extremely honest and knowledgable. They know me by name and Ive never had a problem they couldnt fix. Point and case, if you ever have any computer issues and dont know how to fix it, take it in to these guys. I guaretee you wont be disappointed with not only the service, but the staff as well.

Honestly if I could give more stars I would! I went to another computer parts sales place in Irmo (no names required) and was ripped off so bad and had a horrible experience there, after searching the web I found Silicone Solutions. The warm welcome and personable attitudes of all the employees there awe struck me!They listened to my plight, were very empathetic and helped me in every way possible so I could build my new gaming rig! I didn’t spend a fortune and they have or can get every thing I need for building a computer from the ground up! Including a few accessories I don’t need but I want to bling this baby up!These guys have honestly gained a customer for life from me and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone for any computer needs!Thank you Silicon Solutions! You are all amazing!

Silicon Solutions saved me when I was in a huge disaster! Im a wedding photographer and dropped my hard drive causing it damage and my computer was no longer able to read my drive or any photos! SS was able to recover all photos and were so gentle through the entire process. I was a train wreck and these guys truly came to my rescue. I worked with Jason and can not recommend this place enough!!
