Richard and his team were very helpful in repairing several of our computers. We also have engaged his services in building several computers for very specific needs. We highly recommend this company.-McKinley Engineering and Consulting

I had a great experience at this store. They replaced my hard drive in my older HP laptop and it now runs like a dream! I checked pricing with 3 other vendors and their pricing was right on the money. The store was clean and the employees were very polite and respectful. They were patient with helping me understand what was involved and I have already recommended them to my friends in the neighborhood.

Used computer store in East Lake FL West of Tampa Bay that has Apple and Dell used computers and accessories. They even repair iPhones and Ipads onsite quickly. Fast and clean location and great customer service on used apple products makes this my favorite computer shop.

Great Repair place for your computer. Honest, trustworthy, very reasonable and fast service. Diagnosed my computer problem in less than an hour; fixed the problem and loaded in Windows 10 over the existing windows 7 and returned my computer in less than five hours. I will use them again.

Excellent service here and professional help with a smile. Now that my carrier does not offer tech help in store it is absolutely necessary for some of us seniors to have a competent source for assistance with phone and computer issues. This is the place!

Unfortunately a whole glass of water spilled on my Macbook. It shut off and I thought for sure it was dead. So it sat for a week to dry, but still wouldnt power on. Took it in expecting bad news, especially when they called and said there was still water inside when they opened it up. But they got it dried out, and cleaned up (dust over the years) and even replaced missing screws from another stores mistake...but they got it working! Wow i didnt expect that response. They had it repaired within 24 hours, talk about great turnaround. So glad I took it to them, Ill definitely be going back when theres a need!

I took my wifes old MacBook Pro because it was performing really slow to the point we were giving up on it. Richard and his team did a great job repairing the device, we are extremely happy with it and super satisfied with the customer service. I was very impressed with the store, super clean, spacious, lots of products to choose from and very attractive value prop! Im definitely returning for more!

Our company IT person recommended Experimax. I thought I needed a new computer but they were able to diagnose and fix my problem in an hour and for only $100! They were very knowledgeable, fast and courteous. I highly recommend them!

Honest and efficient. Helped with my old desktop power supply in an ingenious way. Forgot the name of the young man who figured it out as this was almost 3 months ago but he was amazing. I recommended this company to everyone I know.

Great service and turn around! Brought in a 2015 MacBook air that wouldnt turn on. Apple Care was unable to help. The team here was able to quickly assess the issue, gave her a little tune up and shes working good as new! Saved a ton of time, head ache and money. Thank you!

My computer had sound issues. The team at Experimax discovered very quickly it was a keyboard issue. It cost me $120 to fix it. Well worth it! Thank you Experimax.

Richard at Experimax is the absolute best! He spent time with us to really understand our needs, and help us determine what would work optimally for us in our budget! It is clear that he cares about his customers and is not just trying to sell them the something. I cant recommend this store highly enough - definitely go see them for all of your computer repair and replacement needs!

My daughter’s 4 year old MacBook Air was continuously rebooting itself and wouldnt stay on. After taking it to the Apple store we were told we could buy a new battery for $129 but that most likely wouldn’t correct the issue. The Apple tech suggested we send it for repair for $459 and for that they would offer us a 90 warranty. We opted for a second opinion and are so glad that we found Richard and his team of courteous and knowledgeable techs. Richard, the owner, was so friendly and informative and most of all he seemed trustworthy. Brian, the technician, was also friendly and he explained his diagnosis clearly. Best of all he found nothing wrong with the computer aside from a software update! We were never expecting that and were quite pleasantly surprised when we received a bill of ZERO dollars. That’s right, no charge! They could have easily charged us for work that hadn’t been done and we would have been none the wiser. The computer was returned fully updated and with tips for keeping it current! Thank you Richard! It is so refreshing to do business with a company that has old fashioned values and puts the customer first!

After shopping around many large computer stores and not knowing any more than when I started, I googled computer stores in my area and found Experimax East Lake. What a breathe of fresh air!! Richard is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain what types of computer would fit my needs. I ended up purchasing a laptop that fit my needs perfectly!! I wish Id found Experimax East Lake first! Their knowledge, expertise and customer service are second to none! I definitely recommend them for any of your computer needs.

This place is a great concept. Charged me a fraction of what Apple Store would charge for a new battery and they have rehabbed Apple products with full warranty and 0% financing. Wish this was known to me when my kids were in college. The staff was friendly and efficient. Strongly recommend.

We had a great experience over the weekend here. The gentleman that helped us was extremely knowledgeable and listened to what our needs were. He answered all of our questions and then some. I definitely recommend this store for their Apple products and excellent customer service. The fact that they are open on a Sunday is a plus too!

Richard and staff at Experimax are helpful and knowledgeable. I have had my sons Dell computer diagnosed and tuned up there, as well as my daughters iPhone screen replaced. Both times, it was a great experience and the work was done the same day. I ended up purchasing additional devices while shopping in their store, which is set up similar to an Apple Store, except with better prices. I highly recommend. Check them out next to Starbucks near Ridgemoor.

Richard and his staff are true professionals. The store is stocked full of both Apple products along with selected Microsoft products (specifically Dell). The knowledge Richard possesses in getting you the exact product you need for your business or personal use is excellent. And the pricing on all products is excellent. I would highly recommend a visit to Richards store.

The screen on my husband’s iPad developed lines. Their service was exceptional. Ryan was very helpful, explaining my options to repair or replace it. I found their pricing to be excellent. We are fortunate to have a store like this in East Lake, and I would not hesitate to recommend them for any phone or tablet service.

I took my old computer in to Experimax to have them take a look at it and determine what the problem was. The employees were so helpful. My computer was 10 years old and not worth fixing. I purchased a new Dell. They sat it up for me and took care of me. I recommend this new company.

I would proudly recommend Experimax, East Lake in the highest possible terms. Ryan, in particular, was invaluable to me in a time of absolute crisis. My hard drive on my only laptop crashed and I was unable to access any of my files or programs. Fortunately, I had Carbonite as an off-site data backup, but had never been called upon to use them in any way so I was very much outside my comfort zone.Ryan and Experimax immediately made me comfortable with the entire process after it was determined, following the diagnostic, that the hard drive was completely gone and no data could be saved from it directly. Ryan shared with me the relative benefits of moving up to an SSD drive, vs the old style and that I would be well advised to keep my existing laptop, as it was a great performer.Within an hour the new SSD drive was installed and I was invited back to work with Ryan in getting the updated Microsoft Office package installed.We then moved on together to the recovery phase (the very same day) with Carbonite and Ryan was able to walk me through this process, as well, and even gave me input as to the safest manner in which to transport the laptop and to pause the process by putting the unit to sleep.After the recovery process was complete some 48 hours later, the team at Experimax invited me back to assist in helping me get access to my email accounts, as well as to provide me with some great input on the function of Windows 10 (I had resisted moving up from 7 for many moons).Again, I would very much recommend Ryan and Experimax to anyone. They really saved me a great deal of stress.Aaron BergmanTampa Florida

I was limping along on my IT equipment. No backup, a crashing laptop, and several old devices with important files still on them that I could not get to open.Experimax was Awesome. Ryan got both old devices open and downloaded the necessary files to my laptop. Cleaned and upgraded my laptop (RAM I believe.) Set me up with a backup drive and even fixed a port problem on my Galaxy phone.My data is finally SAFE... and my laptop is MUCH faster. The price... a fraction of other places.I can not recommend Experimax enoug!!!! They are experts with very fair pricing!

I was very impressed with everything about this store. My son broke his phone. Richard, the owner, explained what was broken and even told me which repairs were necessary and which were only cosmetic. I waited while my phone was repaired and chatted with Richard. I wish all businesses were run so professionally and pleasantly!!!

Richard at Experimax was a Godsend for me today, My laptop screen was damaged while traveling and totally unusable when I opened it this morning. I brought my laptop to Experimax and he diagnosed the problem in minutes. He was very honest and told me it would probably cost more to repair the laptop than what I paid for it new several years ago. I decided I needed to purchase a new laptop rather than fix this one but needed more time to research my options. Richard did not pressure me at all to purchase a new one from him but educated me on my options so I could think about what to purchase. Then he suggested attaching an external monitor to my existing laptop to see if I could access my hard drive allowing me to use the laptop while making my decision. He hooked up a used external monitor for me and I was back in business! He sent me on my way with the used monitor and electrical cords and said Just keep Experimax in mind when you decide on what new equipment you you want to buy I wish could give Richard and Experimax 10 stars instead of 5! I will definitely will be back for any computer needs.

Experimax of tarpon is like having your own technician on hand. You can talk face to face with someone while they fix your most important tool. Your computer, phone or tablet. I also got a note 8 for half the ed price of the m as in carriers.

My desktop kicked the bucket and Experimax helped save years of files at an amazing price. Service level and communications are excellent. Experimax turned a potentially devastating loss into a small issue that was easily remedied in 24 hours. These are my go-to people for computer and phone repair. Think of them as your trusted mechanic - they tell you the truth and help fix it without overcharging. Did not try to sell me on anything other than recovering my files. Recommending them to anyone who has computer or phone problems. Also, their prices for refurbished computers and phones are quite competitive. Will do more business in future.

If you live anywhere near the East Lake area and either need repairs or want to purchase a pc, laptop, tablet, etc, seriously... this is the place to go. I bought a reconditioned mini mac to use primarily as a music server. I got it for a great price and it works perfectly. And they were able to access and download my entire itunes library from a very old and busted Mac and loaded it for me. Super great people there and great prices. Best Buy? No way, try Experimax, you wont be disappointed.

I have been to this location several times to sell, browse and purchase. Last week I purchased a 5k 27 iMac for a great price and couldnt be happier! Richard is very patient and listens to his customers - he also holds himself and his store to a very high level service and quality. I couldnt be happier with my purchase and am absolutely thrilled to have this location so close by for all my electronics needs. I highly recommend stopping by and chatting with them - youll see the difference and know youve found your new go-to for all your computer needs. Keep up the great work, you guys are awesome! :)

I had a fantastic experience at Experimac East Lake. I walked in one minute before they closed looking for a replacement MacBook Air for an important business trip I was taking the following day. The staff was exceptionally pleasant and accommodating with any questions I had. The machine itself works great and was great value with the price. I tried to wrap up my business and get out of there to avoid delaying the employees from going home for the evening, but I will certainly be back to browse the wide variety of inventory they had available at attractive prices.

Worst customer service experience of all time. Geek squad makes these guys look like Geek Squad rejects.Dropped off laptop late March hear nothing for a week and have to call them on April 6th told its DC converter and shipping was delayed till April 17th.Call on April 17th to check in and owner says he has no idea whats going on with this and will call back. Never calls back once. Reach out again today, April 20th only to be told....They, somehow, order a charger instead ... Even though my charger works fine and I tried multiple myself.Completely incompetent. No ones on the same page. Owner doesnt understand tech and leaves it up to technicians who dont know what they are doing or not on same page. Would give 0 stars if I could.

It was by luck that I found Experimac East Lake, but I will be a long term customer from now on. My 27 inch i mac desktop was reaching the end of life after 9 years, and I asked Richard, the owner to keep an eye out for a lightly used i mac. He not only found me a great machine, but it was still able to qualify for Apple Care warranty! Only 6 months since purchase. My external hard drive could no longer connect via firewire to the new iMac, so I took my external drive and cable into the store. Bill immediately knew the issue and just happened to have a spare cable that would connect my hard drive to the new i mac ethernet port. Wow! Excellent customer service! Its like having a family member in the computer business. Everyone in the store is kind, courteous and goes the extra mile to keep a happy customer. So happy to have found honest, reliable people to trust my Apple computer needs to.
