Took my Mac in for charging issues and friendly staff took it apart and ended up determining that it was a charger issue but did not charge me at all for the diagnostic service. Graphite wanted me to pay $100 just to look at my laptop and I would have to wait 10 days until it could even get repaired. Definitely will go back if I have any other issues.
Went in today looking for a hard to find piece for a circuit board. They had it and hooked me up! Now I can use my recording gear again. Great shop! Would definitely recommend and use them again!
I bought a refurbished laptop set-up for teleworking from REs Sherman Ave location. Id give them 10 stars if I could. I got a great set up for a very reasonable price. When I had trouble connecting my two company-owned external monitors to the new set-up, Boa, the technician I worked with, offered to have me bring them in and set them up for me. Excellent, excellent customer service. Hats off to Boa and RE. I highly recommend them and will definitely be using them in the future.
My search for a reasonably priced refurbished monitor with odd specificity ended here, with their broad inventory and helpful staff. Will look here first when next in need of refurbished computer gear.
Mac wasn’t working, quickly diagnosed and solved the problem for a very reasonable rate. Great staff, would definitely return
Couldnt work on my Chromebook due to costing but gave excellent tips for a fix!
Once, I took my laptop to be fixed in another shop. I was in a rush and it was right across the street. Big mistake.Remachines is the only place in town where I dont have to worry about the quality of service. They are diligent, knowledgable and operate with utmost integrity.It is the the best place to go when your machine needs some love.Thanks guys!
Nate fixed my PC, and it was not a simple problem (water cooling system, hoses and liquids were involved...a job for the professionals). He was very communicative, easy to work with, and transparent about everything.The cost was very fair, the service was perfection. I wish all companies were this easy to work with. Ive used a couple other PC services in town and its not even close.Use these guys without hesitation. I will from here on out.
I called in this morning to REMACHINES and owner, Nate, was extremely helpful. He was immediate with his assistance and genuinely cared about follow up to make sure my problems were fixed. REMACHINES is the unicorn company you have been looking for. Quick, friendly and trustworthy with your computer needs. I highly recommend them.
Nate is an awesome person overall! Very friendly, managed to fix my desktop computer that was blue screening constantly in an efficient and best way possible. He also updated all my hardware and recommended what I should do later to maintain the quality of my computer. Definitely recommend REMACHINES for any computer repair! Thank you!
Love this place, but please note that the location on West Mifflin is the owners office, not the consumer-facing computer store.
Nate was wonderful when I was looking for a used laptop. His prices are unbeatable, and when I needed a part replaced, he did so quickly, no questions asked. Plus hes got a great sense of humor. Id definitely buy anything I need in the future from him and have referred lots of friends/acquaintances to him.
I went in with a major problem, my laptop was dead and my data was still on it. Within an hour he got everything transferred, the next day I walked out with a working machine that had all my data on it. The price was very reasonable and it was a 7 minute bike ride from campus. Data recovered back to work on my research.Update: Win 7 license lost will be downgrading to Windows XP, oh well, at least I got my data back for a fair price.
Nate does a great job! I have bought 3 computers from him and my extended family and friends have bought from them as well. Everyone is absolutely thrilled with their products and services! If you need anything done to you computer, phone, printer, etc. these are the guys to talk to. Great job guys and keep up the excellent work!
Went to this place because of the high ratings, and I was definitely not disappointed. I brought in a Samsung laptop for a charging port repair which ended up being a bigger issue. Nate didnt charge me for this work. I also brought in an HP laptop which needed an LCD repair. Always responded promptly via phone, answered all my questions, and explained everything so I could understand it. Honestly, service is beyond great and I definitely would come back here for future repairs!
Had a virus pop up on my computer and didnt want to try and remove it myself. I was able to drop it off on a Sunday and they had fixed my problem by the next day. Very quick service and very reasonable rates. I will definitely visit them again for any future computer issues.
Nate @ Remachines is THE person to know for both business and personal computer set up, solutions and repairs. He is always very accommodating and his knowledge on the subject of computers and their hardware make his high quality work very trustworthy. No need to go anywhere else for all things computer-related!
Nate is awesome! He took a 2007 macbook and upgraded it, added memory and then answered questions once I reloaded stuff. He is personable, efficient and knows what he is doing! It saved me the environmental and monetary cost of purchasing a new laptop! Do the green thing---see Nate!
Good Laboratory, Support Hardaware And Software! They Have Honest Prices EVER!Is characterized by Kindness Of Personnel, For Custom Care And Accuracy In Time And The Warranty Of Repairs.You rock guys Happy Holidays And Happy New Year
We have visited Remachines 3 times for totally different issues and been so impressed. The prices are incredibly reasonable. This latest time I came in with a laptop problem, the guys stopped what they were doing to see if they could fix it on the spot. Turned out to be more complicated, but they called me the same day to let me know it was ready. Cant recommend them enough.
I built a new pc but had problems getting it running properly. I brought it in, and Nate helped me diagnose the problem right away. He was very attentive and friendly. Nate also gave me a great deal on a new part that I needed. Ill definitely return if I have more problems!
One man shop with great customer service! Nate is great at what he does and he loves it! Willing to tackle jobs big and small including office networking and IT!
Nate was super easy to work with and whenever I had a question about my computer I could just email him and get the info I need in a day! Highly recommend.
To sum it up: REMACHINES is AWESOME. Fixed my MacBook Pro on short notice and in minutes. Soooooo much better than going to the Apple Store, waiting for an appointment, and then waiting days to get my computer back... Nate is friendly, fun to work with, and professional. Definitely good to know that my computer is under great care and that Madison has this resource to offer! Highly recommend REMACHINES!!!!
I called Nate looking for a used monitor. He was very professional and friendly and was able to supply exactly what I wanted at a very good price. Great experience, I highly recommend them!
They are amazing. He was able to solve my problem on the phone in one minute. Very impressed.
Brought my desktop to ReMachines and Nate fixed it in less than an hour. His rate was reasonable, he accommodated my schedule and even gave me tips to keep my computer in good shape going forward. It was a very pleasant experience overall. Tonight when I got home, I was finally able to use my computer without it crashing multiple times. What a relief. I only wish I would have contacted ReMachines sooner.THANK YOU!!!
My Macbook adapter broke down few weeks ago. I contacted the office and got a very promptly and friendly response. He even made a trip to the downtown office just to help me out. The customer service is professional. Will definitely recommend it!
Remachines has great staff who are very helpful. They did what they could to make sure that my repairs were completed in a timely fashion. They are my go to computer repair shop.
Nate completed the recovery of my hard drive at a reasonable price and very quickly. Thanks Nate for the professional service!Karl
Nate was very helpful to us as we tried to replace the screen on an Acer netbook. Was able to take a look (free of charge) and tell us that the replacement screen was defective, then was reasonably priced--and super fast, fixed while I waited!--as he installed the replacement for the replacement. Were very excited to have a knowledgeable/affordable computer repair shop so close by; definitely takes the sting out of those awful times when you realize youve got a PC prob that you cant fix yourself. Thanks!
Our laptop had a near death experience after updating to Windows 10. Nate and Kent got it back on its feet after an overnight stay in their ER and at a very reasonable cost.
Great staff, very knowledgeable and friendly. Personally, I recommend Nate or Bob, they’re great at what they do!
Great experience with Remachines! Honest, helpful, and good guys. Definitely recommend them and will be back myself.
Nate is wonderful. Recently an inexperienced friend was a bit too enthusiastic with cleaning the screen and keyboard of a PC. When a black mark appeared on the screen, I called Nate to arrange a time to meet. Nate gave me a meeting time and was awaiting my arrival. He immediately took care of my computer. Additionally, I had two older PC machines that I wanted to donate, but wanted the drives cleaned/cleared before I donated them. Nate took care of the machines right away and told me he could also take care of the donation. What more could I ask for? Nate is professional, prompt, easy to work with, provides fast service, and is very reasonable. Nate also works with a local non-profit (WNC), using his talent to support others. I strongly recommend Nate and ReMachines to YOU!
Brought my PC in with an issue. Within a few hours the issue was identified and resolved. Great service!
Office appears to be closed. Waste of my time.
They were very helpful with my computer issues. The deals on hardware were great here. Definitely recommended to anybody.
When my computer crashed because of a coffee spill, I took my sisters advice to go to Remachines. Bob took a thorough look at my computer, and explained to me what was wrong with it and what the next steps to fixing it could be. I am definitely going back to Remachines when it comes to getting my old data onto a new computer. They were very helpful, even offering me suggestions on new computers! I know very little about computers, but Bob made it easy to understand. I would recommend going to Remachines for any computer related issue, big or small.
Helped with issues we encountered setting up a new laptop with Lion. Nate was friendly, knowledgeable and his rates are reasonable.
Nate is a genuine blend of skill and helpfulness that cares for his customers needs.
I highly recommend using ReMachines for your computer repair needs.I came in with a busted laptop, and here are some highlights of my experience:*I was given a straightforward assessment of what it would take to repair my machine.*I was spoken to with honesty, respect, and at no point did I feel talked down to.*I was called back within a couple hours of dropping off my laptop, to let me know what the fix would be.*When I came back in, I was shown exactly where the issues were and given options.*When I decided against fixing the laptop, I was not charged for the assessment, and was given some great, honest advice for free.*When he found out that I lived across town, and that it would be difficult for me to make it back on Monday, Nate postponed his lunch in order to reassemble my computer for me.It was a very positive experience, and I would not hesitate to go to ReMachines again for any future computer repair needs.
Personable professionalism. Good machine w great value.
These guys are great!My Macbook Pro laptop died in late November this year while I was in Italy. I emailed a bunch of Madison computer repair places about my problem, as I was due back in the States in a few days. ReMachines was the only place to email me back. They gave me some advice via email and then helped me setup an appointment on the busy day before Thanksgiving. They looked the machine over, took it apart, and (correctly, it turns out) diagnosed the problem as a fried graphics card. I was in a crazy hurry to fix the machine (work deadline) and the holiday threw a major wrench into the situation. They researched some solutions for me and explained the options. While they were willing to rush order the part and try to fit the repair into their schedule, they advised me to go to directly to Apple because the unique configuration of my laptop required a special GPU that the manufacturer would have on hand. Even though it meant giving up business they helped me get my computer back on Saturday.They refused to take any money for the hour(s) they spent with my machine. Next computer issue I have Ill definitely be coming here. They are super friendly people to boot!!I found the downtown location very convenient. Two big thumbs up for this place!!
The Remachines staff have repeatedly gone above and beyond in the repairs and builds I have worked with them on...plus they have a great recycling plan. You should advise your friends to donate their used computer equipment to ReMachines. Plus, they have done an awesome job on data recovery jobs and thery are one of the most affordable in recovery for Madison !!
I dont know why its so difficult to find good computer repair help in Madison, but it is. When my computer was nuked in a electric surge a few years back, I took it in to a few different Mac repair places in Madison, but none were very helpful... they either said the computer was garbage or Id have to spend $900 for a replacement part. I found ReMachines at the last minute, and Nate was able to replace the part from a similar retired machine he had for only $150 bucks. Computer saved, headache gone.I have had a number computer problems over the last few years, and Nate at ReMachines has always offered helpful, affordable, and accurate work and advice. The ReMachines attitude is positive and practical, all about making lemonade out of lemons. These guys are different, and deserve your business. Not only will they solve your problem, but they will make you feel great about it. Five stars.5/8/2020 - Update. Great experience with Boa, who has been helping me with mysterious laptop problems. She is logical, straightforward, transparent and helpful. Always glad to have ReMachines as a local resource.
Quick accurate diagnosis at a very reasonable price! I will be returning for future computer issues.
I have been working with Nate and Audric at Remachines for a few years. They have built several custom machines and a few off-the-shelf PCs for me and other family members. A couple problems popped up (mostly user errors) and they helped me fix them right away. Remachines has a good range of products for just about anyone (even a few Macs) and any budget.I recommended them several times without any hesitation and continue to do so now.
Pro: fast, inexpensive, good repairCon: business etiquette, store appearance, charge for credit card paymentWe went to the Fordam location. Just picked up my computer today and everything seems in order. They were able to replace the hard drive, reinstall the operating system and save almost all of our files. Very happy with the work!However, I wish they would have mentioned the +2% charge for use of credit/debit cards before we came in, ended up paying $15 in charges because I didnt have cash. The store front needs better signage which would benefit customers looking for the place as well as attracting new customers. The inside needs a major cleanup there are electronics thrown everywhere and the place is diiiirty. It made me second guess bringing my stuff there. The guys all seem to know their proffession but are on different pages when conducting business. The guy who took our stuff when we first got there didnt catalogue all our items which could have ended badly for all of us. Also when I called back to see what the quote was the person on the other end of the phone seemed confused, the conversation was exactly this,Hey, I got a call about my computer a few minutes ago.Ok. (Long pause)... Caaaaan I talk to someone about it?.There appears to be very little system in place and it makes them look unorganized and less than what they are actually capable. If the owner/manage set in place some more professional business practices this place would be golden.
My Macbook Pro died in a big way while I was traveling through the area. After spending a few days taking it to the Mac store (who wouldnt fix my antique), looking at expensive new computers, and scammy refurbished computer retailers online, I found remachines. All of the reviews were so great, I figured it was worth calling.In just a few hours (from initial phone call to walking out the door of 30 Mifflin), I had a new-to-me computer at a shockingly reasonable price with all of my data restored and even an upgrade in memory. It was going to cost almost as much at some of the other places I called just to get my old hard drive taken out to use as an external--not to mention the cost of a new machine that I would need in order to use said external drive.Additionally, Nate is patient, not condescending, and clearly knowledgeable. I did not know fixing such a huge problem (while on the road no less) could be made into such a minor event.
Two years ago when I first came to Madison my laptop died. Nate and the folks at Re-machines got me set-up with a used laptop, pulled all my data off my old machine to put on the new machine and then erased the old hard drive, all for under $300.However, to my mind the best thing about ReMachines is the easy going, reasonable priced tech support they offer. When I modified the Operating System on the laptop and it wouldnt function they walked me through the re-install. When the laptops power source died they were there with a back-up that had me up and running in less than a day. When the machines DC power adapter failed after three years of use (not bad for a used laptop), I went ahead and repaired it, something that I likely wouldnt have been confident enough to attempt if I wasnt sure that ReMachines would be able to recover my data and replace it without breaking the bank if I couldnt pull it off. The capable technical support that ReMachines offers for such a reasonable price is worth worth way more than the value of my computer.
My first interaction with Remachines was for business. We have two desktop computers used as cash registers, both from Remachines. When one encountered a problem, I called the Remachines office, walked the computer over to them, and they fixed it on the spot - no charge. For comparison, I have a friend who had the exact same problem with a new computer from Best Buy, and it took WEEKS to get her machine fixed. For business, I simply could not have waited, and would have had to purchase a replacement in the mean time. Computer hardware always has a chance of failing (new or used) but when you get it from someone who stands by their work thats far less of a worry.Since then Ive bought three devices from Remachines (a laptop and to tablets) and had friends buy others. Each one came at the price you would expect to pay if you got a good deal on Craigslist, but was top quality, with no crapware or any of the problems you risk with buying hardware online.I called Remachines once for network support, and was completely satisfied with the experience. Im pretty handy with computers myself (I build my own PCs and networks, and Ive worked various kinds of tech support for years.) so I was pretty frustrated by the time I called for help. Nate came by the next day, showed me what I had missed, and had everything running smoothly in about 15 minutes. I really appreciate getting tech support from someone who knows MORE than I do rather than less!
The store was a bit hard to find, does not look like a store but Nate and his business partner are damn serious computer techs!They provide refurbished machines with 90 days warranty. Got a Powermac G5 1.8Ghz dual-core with a DVD recorder, 2 GB RAM and 120GB HD for less than $200!Definitevely the anti-Best Buy shop and a reliable source for computer hardware for those that does not need the latest generation of computer hardware!
I’d like to thank Nate and ReMachines for all their hard work! As a small business owner, my desktop is critical to my daily operation, and when it died I was really screwed. Nate came over, diagnosed the problem, worked late into the night to transfer my files, and delivered a new Windows 7 machine to my office. Thank you Nate and ReMachines!
