Great experience here, my power supply broke after a power surge and Brian was very helpful in getting it repaired. Even after finding a strange issue, he was able to work around it and get a PSU from his shop to work. He was very upfront and honest about the work he would be doing and explained each step he would be taking along the way, even helped out with the wiring in my rig for free. Figured I would be without my computer for at least a week, but the repairs were done within a day! Can't recommend this place enough and will be coming here for any future repairs!

Thanking my lucky stars I found Brian and Northboro Computers. I always check google reviews before I select a place and this one had the best. They were all correct! 5 stars is too few for the service they gave. Windows "upgraded" me to Windows 10 when I wasn't looking and I couldn't find any of my files! I tried everything and I had to leave to go to a conference overseas the next day. Brian literally dropped everything and within two hours and with a reasonable fee, he had it all fixed. Even offered advice on how to get more memory in the machine to make it work better. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I had dropped off my laptop for service as Windows was not loading. There was a problem with one of the disks. Brian kept my laptop for 3 days and came back with the diagnosis that my hard drive was completely gone. I trusted that was the issue and requested a quote for possibly backing up my data. He quoted me with $300 and said he could "maybe" retrieve my data. I went to another IT specialist who would try to work on retrieving my data as I felt the cost of $300 was high. He was able to run diagnostics and get Windows up and running. None of his diagnostics came back with the hard drive having problems or not working; just some disk errors which were fixed. Brian charged me $65 to tell me that my hard drive was shot and to misdiagnose the problem with my laptop. Had I stopped there, I would have paid $300 to get him to "try" and back up my data as well as bought a new laptop. I called back to discuss the charge and try to understand how another IT professional was able to get my laptop running and tell me that though my hard drive was old, there was no actual problem with it. Brian completely talked down and over me and wouldn't adjust any of the charge. So I paid $65 to get a misdiagnosis on my laptop. Thankfully, I had gone somewhere else and didn't spend way more money on something I didn't need to. Had he provided better customer service in adjusting the charge as opposed to telling me "well I don't know what diagnostics he ran..." The point is, he told me that my hard drive was completely gone and that I either needed to buy a new one, pay $300 to back up data or get a new laptop, when in the end, someone else got me up and running.

Northboro Computers is the real deal. The owner, Brian, has accumulated the knowledge about software and hardware that can only come from being involved with computers for decades, and indeed it turns out he’s worked with computers for 35 years and all around the globe. On top of that, he understands that to really help a customer, he has to go beyond repair and actually educate the customer about how to avoid problems and how to fix some things ourselves. He’s friendly, a straight-shooter, and you can tell he enjoys helping people. While there, say hi to his adorable small dog, Zip.

I needed to have a gaming computer built. After checking out all the online companies, i went to check out Northboro Computers. And after talking to Brian for ten minutes i knew i wanted him to build it. He actually had it done before i was ready for it. I will tell you it is a beast. I could not be happier. The bench marks are incredible on this thing. I got a fantastic machine, better and a lot cheaper than any of those sites. I will never go any place but to see Brian from now on.
