So glad they are in town! I do pro audio and its really nice to have a local retail resource. Also, bought a laptop for my mom with extended warranty, and they took care of an issue that came up no problem. Highly recommended.

Santa Cruz Tech Exchange is the greatest ❤️ Filip, the owner, helped me find and buy the perfect DJ gear for my needs from CDJs to Mixers. If you need DJ gear, Filip and his amazing staff are the people you want to see, and its also great to support a local business.

SC Tech Exchange is the only place in SC I would go with a computer issue. My MacBook stopped charging, at first I took it to another place and they couldn’t tell me why without committing to significant upfront costs. SC Tech Exchange diagnosed the issue quickly. I had a blown diode on the logic board - they fixed it for 1/2 the cost of what other places quoted. As far as I know they’re the only place in SC doing soldering work in house. Michael was great - super reasonable to work with on cost/assurance of workmanship. If I ever have another issue with a device - SC tech exchange is where I’m going.

My Macbook Pro 16 (2015) was desperately in need of a battery for wellover a year. Apple stores were all closed due to Covid. The fan ran every time I streamed, and on content-heavy applications like Pinterest. I was so worried I was ruining an otherwise stellar machine. I found Tech Exchange through their Computers for Sale ads on Craigslist, as I was also in the market for a more portable laptop. I read their reviews on repairs and was very impressed. So I took my Macbook in to have the battery replaced, and bought a sweet little refurbished 13 Macbook Pro that I absolutely LOVE. Anyway, they replaced the battery for only $250. which was far less than what I expected. They did an incredible job. Its running cool, the fan hasnt come on one time, no matter how long I stream AND it holds a charge like a champ. I couldnt be more pleased. The folks there are super nice too. Highly recommend!

Santa Cruz Tech Exchange is a great place to find technical support or find a computer! The staff helped me to select a laptop based on my needs and usage, and then upgraded it to have all the storage I need. I am very happy with my new laptop! I was given lots of guidance in the process of selection, plus an excellent price. The staff is professional and friendly, and Filip, the owner, really cares that you get great service and are happy with your purchase. The experience was a pleasure all around. They take pride in their work and follow up to make sure you are satisfied with your purchase, and they are happy to answer any questions that may arise. I highly recommend this great shop!

Great shop! Great people! Needed a new computer and data recovery on another. I was listened to and was given options for my needs on new computer, and explained the process and cost of the data recovery before any money was exchanged! I will be making my tech purchases here!

I had a new built PC that wouldnt boot. I took the computer in to SCTE and they quickly diagnosed and resolved the issue. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and professional. The storefront location has great parking. I very much appreciated the COVID safety procedures they are using. I am happy to recommend their services!

Quick local help and turnarounds for my Mac laptop, ipads and all things computer related. Last one was replacing my 5 yr old MacBook Pro batteries in just 2 hours from dropoff. Would have taken Apple weeks to do it! Thanks SCTE

Great store and customer service. I needed a power supply and no one had any. All the major stores would have had to order one for me and it would have taken a week to get. Not only did they have the power supply I needed they had an upgrade that was less than the major stores so I went with that. I will be going back even if its just to look around they have a lot of stuff for tech people like myself and more. Thanks for the help and great service.

Thank you SCTE for the wonderful service on our IPad repair. Turns out it needed just a good cleaning and we are so grateful to not even be charged! Very good business practice and loads of integrity! We will be back with our future needs. Thanks so much! H&H Fresh Fish Co

Went in about a week ago to try and sell some of my unused electronics (i.e. laptop, xbox 360 with kinnect, apple tv) and also to see what the cost would be to fix a tablet computer. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Offered fair prices and what they couldnt take they offered to recycle for me. They also have a lot of DJ equipment and they build gaming computers.
