Juan was very helpful and forthcoming. He answered all my questions and I was able to take my laptop home while waiting for a new battery to arrive. Highly recommended!

It is never fun to have to take something in and be at the mercy of a tradesman but this place took care of me better than any other. I Took my laptop in to have it cleaned and deal with some cooling issues. The gentleman who helped was extraordinarily helpful and knowledgeable. I was given quote and an estimated time of completion. My expectations were blown out of the water. It was finished sooner than expected now runs like a dream. To top off the great service I was called 10 minutes before they closed that my laptop was ready and without having to ask I was told they would stay open for me to pick it up. While I hope I do not find myself in need computer repair anytime soon, if I do I will go to The Computer Repair Connection of Austin.

I took a computer tower to them diangnose. When I went to pick it up after the diagnosis, they hardly answered any of my questions about what was wrong and made me feel very uncomfortable for even asking. When I got home and opened up the tower (the power supply was bad, so I was going to replace it), theyd left everything unplugged inside and basically screwed me over. Definitely worth finding a different vendor that values your business and cares about returning your equipment in at least the same or better (not worse) condition than when you brought it in.

I never write negative reviews. I brought in my laptop because of a loud fan. He said my video card was old. Charged me $500 for a new card. Then said fan is going to do what the fan does.Fan with new video card is loud as a jet engine. Total rip off!!!

I recently had a great experience with Computer Repair Connection. My Dell laptop wouldnt start and after trying all the at home troubleshooting I took it in here for repairs. They ordered a new motherboard and replaced it within 3 business days, this is during all the COVID-19 craziness. I was so worried to trust a new business with something as important as my computer during this crazy time. They put my mind at ease and had a fast turnaround, professional communication (though funny enough they dont use email, just call) and friendly. Would recommend!

Would give 6 stars if i could! I took my laptop to geek squad and they said repair would be up to 3 WEEKS! so I decided to take it to the computer repair connection of Austin after hearing about it. I went in for a repair on my laptop and Juan gave me a diagnostic and repaired it in ONE afternoon and I picked it up the next day. This guy is awesome, professional, polite, honest and very good at what he does. Would highly recommend

Tried to explain an issue on the phone and the technician kept talking down to me and changing that component I was talking about like I didnt know what I was saying. Very rude and condescending.

Called The Computer Repair Connection for a repair question. He didnt want to take the time to look for the part to check for availability, he said its not worth his time. I called That Bytes! -the nice person who answered took the time to look for the part and estimated time and cost. What a difference.

We had all of our Internet cards updated! We had to make a clone of our server. And increase the RAM in some of the computers in our office as well as upgrade one of our operating systems to Windows 7 professional. Our point of contact was a gentleman name Juan. He was a very honest decent and professional individual! He even came after hours to make sure the job that he had done went perfect. As a dentist, that is very valuable to me to deal with that level of professionalism. These guys are top notch and I highly recommend them. Thank you

Juan answered the phone on first ring and fixed my Lenovo laptop hinge and attachment with a refurbished part in less than 24 hours. $99 labor. Seriously! I dropped it off at 4pm, got a Quote at 11am the next day, had it back by 1:30pm... love this little shop. Android and Apple. Best Buy never answers phone and online chat was busy, so glad I gave up and found Juan. Mom and pop shops still the best in Austin, like this one!!! Recomend for sure. I am thrilled!!! Less than 24 hour turn around!

Advice: youd want to call them every other day as a reminder. They could have ordered a hardware but forget about it as its waiting there to be installed on your computer. Not sure if this happened to everyone but I was told my part would arrive 12/27 and they were not aware if its at the store 1/3. Could be more organized.

Computer Repair of Austin is top notch! Juan is personable and thorough and took the time to answer all of my many questions. Technology is not my strength and I have been very appreciative of his patience in explaining things. He is knowledgeable and efficient and I have been very pleased with the work he has done on my laptop. I would refer anyone to Juan and Computer Repair of Austin.Margaret Schoelman

I Highly recommend The Computer Repair Connection. Juan has helped me several times. He does an amazing job. As a Realtor I need someone reliable I can call when I need help. He responds fast, and has the computer issue fixed in no time. There is no other place I trust more than The Computer Repair Connection.

My computer power supply went out and I needed my computer for a project deadline. The Computer Repair Connection put in a loaner power supply, ordered my part, and when I returned the loaner my new part was installed while I waited. Great service in a timely fashion and a reasonable price. Highly recommended!

I got my computer repaired here and all I can say is they are great! I used the speedy check in not really knowing what to expect, but once I arrived I simply told them I had completed the speedy check in, they asked my name, verified my phone number and issues and just like that I was done. Took one minute! They called me about 3 hours later with my quote. I approved as the price was great,(hard drive replaced and data transferred for less than $200) and it was ready for me an hour later. Thats just great. They really do create a great computer repair experience. Im a Apple guy and this place took care of my Macbook just as well but faster than when I had to take it in for Apple care which has since then expired. I will only be dealing with these guys from now on.

Computer Repair Connection came to my home to install a problem printer. This was no problem to Juan as he quickly and efficiently had the printer working. I was shown how to work the various components of the printer. I appreciate Juans professionalism, technical knowledge, and positive attitude. I am deeply appreciate for this help.

Juan is an honest and decent man who really knows his stuff. He has always worked fast when I have brought him my laptop. If youre on the UT campus, forget about the Campus Computer Store because they will take your money and not even address the real problem. Go over to Juan who is at Lavaca & 18th and hell get it done and for way less money.

I had a feeling I would get grade A service here. So, I dropped my laptop off at around 1-2pm on a SATURDAY and the technician replaced my hard drive AND installed a nice, fast version of windows 10 without all of the bloatware that came with my original Toshiba by 4pm!! The labor cost was extremely reasonable and the part I needed was priced reasonably as well. Not once did I feel anxious about leaving my $1000 laptop in Juans hands. He will have my business for as long as I am in Austin.

I took my computer to Juan at Computer repair connections. I had heard good things about this place from a friend so I took it in. I have my own buissness and I cant be without my laptop! I told Juan how important it was to me not to be without it. He had it ready for me the next day! I was impressed considering my laptop was almost a lost case. If you need someone to take your computers this guy is it. Its great to have someone I can trust for any feature problems. Had a great experience so thought I would share😃

Review №37

Juan was great. I called and got no answer at first but did not leave a message. He called me back! My laptops hard drive crashed and I needed to see if I could pull my data from it. Unfortunately I could not. All of my files were corrupted. He replaced my hard drive and cleaned my laptops fan out. I dropped my computer off at 3:30pm on Monday and was able to pick it up first thing in the morning. He was willing to stay open after 6:00pm for me to pick it up same day but I did not want to drive back downtown. I would recommend him if you are needing something done quickly! He politely gave me references to a couple other places that could possibly get my data back using methods (but for a hefty fee of more than $800). Data recovery aint cheap! But his prices were very reasonable. I paid less than $200 for the whole thing.

I had a great experience with The Computer Repair Connection. I had frequented a Mac repair shop across town where I experienced rudeness, condescension, plus slow and expensive work. I vowed never to go back to that other place, and was lucky to find Computer Repair Connection. Juan was exactly the opposite of the owner of the other repair place -- extremely professional, polite and knowledgable and wants to help in a very timely manner. The customer service is top notch! I also love that the company is named exactly what it does; the marketing is excellent as it comes up first in my web search. Juan was able to help me out in a pinch with my broken laptop AND in addition to getting it back in working order, sold me a perfect refurbished desktop computer which I had been searching for, in great condition, for far less than what Id seen elsewhere. All around, an excellent experience - thank you! Highly recommended!

Juan Morales and the team at The Computer Repair Connection came through for me. As a real estate professional I highly rely on my laptop to run my business. One day I was in a panic mode because my laptop dropped and wasnt functional. Just when I thought I lost everything I was able to get a fully functioning laptop, quick service and professionalism from the team. I was up and running in less than 24 hours and I couldnt thank you guys enough! I wont forget it and I will definitely refer out to anyone I know needing help thank you so much !

Juan is my hero! He has restored 2 of my laptops. They are now BETTER than they were before! He has also made repairs to the laptop belonging to my son when the keyboard stopped functioning.I received a crazy pop-up message on my screen recently and sent the image to Juan and he assured me it was just a phishing scam.His knowledge and skills are top notch. I will always trust his expertise when I need computer help.

My HP Omen laptop began to break at the grill. Eventually the hinge began to come loose. At the beginning of the year I turned it in to Geeksquad. They claimed to have had the parts necessary and that it would be three weeks before the parts would get in. I had to send my computer off to a different state to get it repaired. After a month went by I had to call them to figure out what was going on. Turns out they had lied to me and didnt have the parts. They sent it back but again gave me no notification that it had arrived. I had to go find out myself. In total, I was out a laptop a full 5 weeks, though I did manage to convince them to refund me. This past Monday I took it to The Computer Repair Connection. Juan was super friendly and professional and knew exactly the problem and where to get the parts. He could even repair it on site. I got it back today in great condition, 4 days later. This buisness is awesome and I couldnt be happier!

Ive had problem computers in the past that ultimately drove me to problem computer technicians. CRC was a complete 180 from what Im used to in Austin computer repair. Walked right in, told him my problem, he assessed it, walked out, he called me about two hours later after further review, i picked it up at my leisure. No talking down to me because I dont know tech, no unnecessary watching him endlessly click on who knows what behind the counter, and no waiting days on end to figure out what was going on, no multiple people working on my case having to check with one another re: what one did in a previous session. Mature, sensible, no time wasting. Awesome experience.

Review №56

It was a good experience up until I got my laptop back after Juan replaced the Keyboard.I had to use the headphone jack to review a film for a class and it didn’t work, I checked and updated the drivers, googled all the trouble shooting went through thoroughly of HP forums related to the problem. So I called Juan and immediately he is argumentative, then he accused me of an assumption that I was saying he spilled liquid intentionally on my mother board. He said the headphone jack could be damaged by the motherboard chip. He said the speakers that were on my computer were brand new with the keyboard but one of them on the left side was cutting out, then he said it could be your motherboard.My problem is those two parts were working fine before he took my laptop. So maybe it was a manufacturing problem but he just went straight to accusing me of his own assumptions of something I never said. So I asked him how much water do you think was spilled on my keyboard and he says two ounces. I can tell you that didn’t happen, but why would I spend 230-240 dollars on a repair just to call the person I last picked the laptop up from who repaired it. Who opened up the laptop and without even taking a look at it he says it’s the motherboard.Do I think he damaged it, after this phone call I think there is a possibility he accidentally put it back together and damaged my laptop. He accused me of saying he spilled liquid on my laptop which I did not say and continued to be very argumentative which shows me some sort of guilt and he is unsure of himself because he maybe too confident of his abilities that there is that possibility of error.I don’t like how it was jumped to the motherboard before even looking at it. I don’t like that he accused me of something I didn’t say. Then he threw in my face yknow I got other customers than you as if I wasn’t worth the time as a customer granted I gave him another device to work on immediately after I got my computer back that’ll cost me another 200 dollars. So why would I call and try to figure this out just to be told I’m falsely accusing him of something I didn’t say. I have a feeling he has done this before.He discredited HP Technical Support said they didn’t know what they were talking about he discredit all the forums and solved problems. He said they didn’t know what they were talking about the company that built and designed the laptop originally. If you discredit an expert testimony and if that hardware issue was solved on that forum of a related issue how is it wrong? It raises suspicions on his integrity. I gave you the benefit of the doubt Juan but how you treated me over the phone was not professional at all and I didn’t appreciate it.I don’t like being called a liar and you had a guilty conscience before we could get down to the root of the issue hadn’t even looked at my laptop yet but somehow knew the problem before I brought it in even though you said it’s invisible to the eye you can’t see it.update: When I came in I said my fingertips were wet, but that was last year, it did not start acting funny until three weeks ago and continued to get worse. So no it was not water damaged and I had to think about it, I did not drop a cup of water 2oz as you suggested. I did not try to slight you because after I picked up my laptop I brought in immediately a second device which you STILL have that will cost be another 200 plus dollars so why would I try to get anything free from you? I never asked you for a free motherboard I never asked for free anything, I paid you 230 dollars to fix my keyboard and then went about my way for one week until I had to use my headphone jack for the first time in awhile so that I may review a film for my criminal law I class. Why would I slight you? My biggest problem with you is you have this presumption of me that isnt true and keep assuming stuff and putting words in my mouth and lying about what I said even on your review. Honesty, a good mechanic looks at everything.

I used The Computer Repair Connection in an emergency because my DJing laptop stopped working and I had a gig that night. They were closing in an hour is what I was told but I went in anyway and explained the situation. The tech Juan started to work on it right away and had me wait on the comfy couch up front. I walked out with my computer working and I even bought a backup MacBook at a great price. I really appreciate the help.They saved my job that night.

Im not generally one to share reviews, but The Computer Repair Connection of Austin really saved me. I had spilled water on my new Macbook Pro (this was the second time this had happened in a year, unfortunately -- freak accident), and thought I was gonna be out $1500 with no laptop the week before classes started. Juan, however, came to the rescue, and fixed my machine for a bafflingly low price. Hes a really nice, knowledgable guy, and I couldnt recommend this place more for computer repairs. Thanks, Juan!

*Edited my review due to the pretty rude comment left by the business owner (which appears to have been deleted). I thought I had made it clear that I had already returned to West Africa by the time my computer acted up - its not easy with our lack of internet and phone service to call the US to report a problem that cant be fixed remotely anyway. Also, contrary to owners response, I thought I had made it clear that my computer hasnt HAD any viruses since he fixed it - at least not according to the virus software that he recommended. A helpful hint for the owner as well - Google reviews can be edited. If his response was nicer and offered a solution, I would have definitely upgraded my review, not downgraded it. Thats your incentive - and this WAS me reaching out to the business.*I used The Computer Repair Connection to repair my Lenovo laptop recently - we live in West Africa and it had been giving me problems for awhile (blue screen of death, telling me there were no boot drives when I restarted, etc). I decided on the The Computer Repair Connection because of the great reviews (both on Google and Yelp). Getting in touch and dropping off my computer were pretty simple - Juan then had it ready the next day so that was great.Turns out my computer had a lot of viruses that corrupted the registries (I have no idea how - I dont click on things I dont know, nor do I click on click-baitey things on Facebook). Juan recommended Kaspersky virus protection for the future. I thought Juan was a really nice guy and he definitely tried to be helpful.I picked up my computer, but didnt start it up for a couple days (I was on vacation) - I started it up only the day before we were heading back to West Africa. Unfortunately, the first start-up, I got the missing boot drives error again. Juan had done a full system wipe/restore/data backup for me, so I figured it was just a fluke. I hoped it was. I restarted and it worked just fine. The first thing I did was download Kaspersky virus protection.The computer continued to work fine for about 2 weeks - and then started doing the same crap again. I now get the blue screen (same errors) and the failed boot drive pretty regularly. Thats kind of disappointing since Ive been using the recommended virus scan (which has never found any viruses or corruptions) and Im back in West Africa where I cant take it back in for Juan to look at again. The fix didnt even hold up a month. I dont use suspicious software (I dont do torrents, or download things other than for work-related purposes).I spent almost $100 to get it fixed and it works about the same as it did before - which is to say its barely functional. Im coming home to Austin again in September so I will have to figure out if I take it back here or if I try a new place. Im kind of bummed about it because I really did like Juan - so Im a bit sad to give him not a great review.
