I had issues with my computer and it wouldnt start. I took it to ARMOR and explained that maybe I needed to buy a newer computer. They said to let them look at it first. They were able to fix it and it runs better than ever. . . . the price was very fair and the repair time was shorter than I anticipated. I recommend ARMOR for computer repair and related issues.

My wife brought in her phone to get fixed. It came back with more problems. They claimed that theyre not liable for damages that occur while the phone is in their care. They wouldnt give us our money back for parts they ordered even though those parts didnt fix the problem. Now, I have to spend more money to get a real professional to fix it right. They might be good at IT services but I wont be doing any more business with them

Took CPU in for repair, computer would boot to a blue error screen. They repaired and upgraded the computer for me. It now runs much more efficiently. Most importantly they were able to save all of the files that were on my hard drive and installed them on to the new solid state drive. I dropped off the computer on Thursday and the repairs were estimated to be done on Monday, received a call on Friday letting me know they were done 3 days early!!!

From the moment I called I could tell these guys lead a very professional shop. The only thing I had to wait on was the part which is in no way their fault especially because once they got the part they called me in even when they were about to close and got a full phone repair job done in less than an hour. Ill be returning with any future problems I might have and recommending to anyone reading this.

**Update**I spoke with Elizabeth, who listened to what I had to say about the service I received, she apologized on behalf of the business ( which I appreciated). She also had me bring my laptop back in at my earliest convivence so that they could have a chance to resolve the issues that I noticed. She was very professional. The issues that I previously listed have been resolved.I brought in my brand new Asus laptop that I had purchased in February of 2021. There was no previous damage to the laptop when I purchased it at the time. I was working on my laptop when I spilled hot chocolate on the keyboard. I immediately researched a computer repair shop in the area, and decided to go with Armors services. I brought in my laptop, and told them what happened. Also, how the screen began to flicker, and the laptop would no longer began to turn on. They kept the lap top for a few days until a new part was delivered. When the work was completed on my laptop, and I paid, I noticed that my laptop was not in the same condition as I had brought it in. The keyboard frame was had bubble like dents on it, the sound no longer worked, and there was a piece missing on the underside (helps the keyboard be balanced when on a flat surface). I have not gone back to ask them to fix my laptop, because it has been 2 months, and I dont want them to try to blame me for the laptop being in the same condition. I do know that it was a young guy with blonde hair and glasses that assisted me. I would really like for my laptop to be back working in the condition before I brought it to Armor. I paid a lot of money for my laptop, only for it to come back in worse condition from this repair shop.

Dropped off ps4 on Tuesday, they ordered a part and had it shipped overnight and said it would be there Friday and done on Friday. I called multiple times Saturday, Monday and Tuesday and no one ever answered, I left messages and never got a call back about the status of the ps4. A week later I had to go there in person because they won’t answer calls. They still didn’t have it fixed 4 days after they said they would. So i took the ps4 to another place in town and they had it fixed in less than 2 hours!

My brother recently passed away and I inherited his laptop. I was only in town for a few days and brought the computer to Armor to get the password removed and get any data off it. The lady was very nice and helpful. I was able to get the laptop back before I had to go back out of town and for a very reasonable price. If I lived nearby, I would use them again, maybe they can come open a location in Florida :)

The owner is knowledgeable but his attitude is cocky and lacks professionalism. He came into my cell phone store wanting me to offer his services to my clients. Half of the time he spent trashing other repair places in town instead of explaining why his service was the one for my clients. I have since directed people to his business for in depth electronics work because I know hes capable. The attitude is definitely going to turn a lot of people off.

1 Star is Being WAY TOO Generous! The worst experience ever! I cant even fathom how such a organisation is this inefficient. They never called me back about my repair. It took them over a month to get my computer back, even though they said it would just take a week. Not only was the owner(David) rude but uneducated about computer systems.

Review №31

I was incredibly pleased with the service I received from Armor Technologies. I recently sent in a computer because I tried to do a fresh OS install by myself....mistakes were made, and I needed Professional assistance. Not only did the technician save my computer, and not need to do a reformat (which I dreaded), he installed all the new parts that I asked for and helped me upgrade to a new case. When I came in to pay for my service, I was incredibly surprised at the low cost. I was expecting to pay well over $300, with repairs, and upgraded parts, I only paid about $200. Incredibly cheap for the quality of service that I received. There are not many options in DeKalb for computer repair, but I must say, Armor Technologies is definitely the best and lowest cost option available within the city. P.S. all of the front counter employees were very friendly and helpful, I definitely enjoyed my experience here and will come back.Ryan

Armor Techs hosts my Country Road Greenhouses website and are also my company email hosts - they have always provided valuable, professional service every time that I needed them for help. I have also purchased some used computer equipment from them (monitor, desktop PC, speakers, cable, etc), and I am completely satisfied with every interaction I have had with all Armor Techs staff. They have earned my business, and I will keep coming back.

When i was 14 i brought in my acer no name 100$ laptop with a broken hard rive , they said they would take a look for free. but when they called me back two days later they told me it would be 140$ for a 2tb 60 cache hard rive which was just overkill for a hard rive for the computer and told me it would be 60$ to replace it, the hard drive is on the back of the laptop and would have taken more then 10 minutes. i told them no thanks and they didnt charge me a thing which was generousness enough. i later took apart my dads broken gaming computer when he was a kid and put in the hard drive and it worked just fine. just overall not happy and today i sort of believe they tried to scam me because i was young

Running a business I need someone I can trust, consistently, and Armor Technologies has been a partner of ours for more than 2 years for that reason. We bill by the hour so when I have a computer down, I need it fixed fast. Just last week they were out to diagnose my lead designers computer within hours of my call and fixed it in less than 60 minutes. I highly recommend Armor Techs to the Small Business Owner.

I talked to one of the guys that work at Armor on the phone about getting my IPhone screen replaced and came in about an hour later. Waited the hour wait which is normal. I picked up my phone and they said the screen is fixed but I have some bad news we knicked the ribbon in which broke the home button and we will courtesy order the part and fix it. Waited 2 days they called me and came back. Waited the hour again as expected. Then they said the button would no longer work unless it was taken to Apple. I left and came back right away and they said they could fix it. They just had to add one piece. But I no longer have the Touch ID option. And told to go to Apple again. Why should I pay Apple for their mistake in the first place?! The home button is very cheap and wiggles. Disappointed.

Everything about working with Snare Systems was excellent from start to finish. I work at a business in Rochelle and we had quite the IT crisis that Comcast couldnt help us with. Comcast Technician Ryan suggested we called Snare Systems. We couldnt have been more pleased. I called on Tuesday and left a message. Miles called us back shortly to clarify what we needed done. He forwarded info to Dave, the owner and traveling technician, who contacted me right away to schedule a site visit. He was here first thing Wednesday morning. He solved all our problems and more. He was very friendly and knowledgeable as he explained a lot of things we didnt know, answering all of our questions. Thank you Snare Systems for your superior service! I will be sure to recommend you anytime I can!

This place is a freaking joke with HORRIBLE customer service. Make sure to keep receipts of repairs because they will try to charge you for double repairs. Currently waiting over a week for a computer to be fixed when the manager told me it would be in my hands no later than Thursday. They like to say they will call you back to get you off the phone so its much better to just go in person so they cant make any excuses. Wont EVER come to this place again.

I could go on and on about the great level of customer service! I was visiting the area from out-of-state and had several meetings throughout the day, and my computer is a necessity. I came in because it had completely stopped working and they immediately began working on my machine to try and resolve the problems. They tried everything that they absolutely could to get my computer up and running, however the part that was needed was required to be ordered. Luckily, they were kind enough to let me utilize one of the refurbished machines that they had on hand, so that I can complete the last few tasks that I had for the day. Im very grateful for the hospitality and the assistance provided. I highly recommend them to anyone.

If I can rate this place as zero I would.Horrific experience.Paid 90$ for my apple iPad to change battery and its not working at all or even turning on when I put it in the charger!!!!!!!!!! And guess what.......the iPad was not fully charged and they put it in the charge showing that now it chargers when picked up. Also, $70 spent for my iPhone, in which is messed up after a screen replacement.I mean not harm to them in writing this, because obviously they are going to Continue doing what they are doing and a review wont bring them down however , I only need you who is reading this to not be as stupid as I am In trusting them.I swear to God its the worse place that I have ever been to. I am so disappointed, and I regret trusting them with my products.At least tell your customer that you dont know how to work with apple products. Dont take their products to mess the up and lie that you did your job to basically steal money!By the way they broke my iPad into many parts and had to order parts because they Failed at placing the parts correctly. They make the customer pay even more saying we need this part, after Diagnosing the problem incorrectly!!!!!! dont know what the hell they are doing and they also lie and say the product is working when picked up! Oh and above all they say we had to order many parts giving you the responsibility of their failure! Claiming that its functional now... Functional my ***! Its not even turning on. And last but never least they say apple doesnt like their products to be touched. If they dont like tier products touched by people who dont know how to touch them then why the heck didnt you tell me that you are not worth the task before giving you my products? Or is stealing money something okay in your company?I am demanding a full refund.

The guy at this place is very very very rude. Does not know how to talk to the customers. Just because they know how to repair the computer, they think everyone who visits them is stupid. I had a small hardware issue. When I went in he asked for 200 bucks and 2 weeks time. When I asked why is this so pricey since it is a small problem, he was outright rude about that. So I watched some YouTube videos and fixed it myself and it costed me less than 10 bucks. Please understand that everyone who owns a computer is not some rich idiot for you to make money from.

I usually handle any PC issues on my own, but came here with a dead hard drive hoping they could recover the data on it. Unfortunately, they were unable to but did refer me to a company who could.

Review №71

Called for service on a computer problem. They came out quickly and said there was a critical failure and best option was a new computer. I authorized them to order it. They said it had to be prepaid. I paid them $756 and was told I would have the new computer in 3-5 days. So far it has been 10 and no computer. Not even the parts to build it. Everyday when called, there is some shipping excuse. I asked for a refund and was told they dont give refunds. I asked to talk to the owner. I got voice mail and no return calls. I went in the store today, very upset and the guy behind the counter laughed at me. Made me very angry. Clearly they dont care if I ever get a computer, they wont give a refund, and the owner will still not return a call. What ethical business does not give a refund, especially when they cant produce a product in the time they said? The y really dont deserve any stars. If I ever do get it, Im afraid to use it. The attitude they have worries me that they would give it to me intentionally being corrupt.

Lack of professionalism. (Asked for a discount on doing two devices at once. Well they came back and said they would have to charge more. I had already gone in previously and been quoted the lower rate. So when they had a chance to get more business they upd the rates. I did not tell them I had been in previously to get a quote. So I will move on.)

Theyre not the worse place in Dekalb. Definitely not the best though. I took my phone there to get it repaired, (the back light of my phone went out) in the process of doing this, it took a week to get my phone because no one called to inform me that my phone was already fixed although I was told someone would. Thats not even the worse part, after a week I go and pick up my phone, I try to plug headphones into my phone and the headphone port was broken. Fortunately they fixed that free of charge. After finally getting my phone back, within 5-6 months the screen had the exact same problem. Now I dont accredit that to armor tech, but after all of that and based off some of the reviews I thought the people there could actually fix my screen longer than 6 months, but Id rather take my business elsewhere.

I went there to get my laptop computer fix for motherboard. They did fix all right, but as I get my computer back, my computer product key no longer working. One of the plastic button that is underneath the keyboard was broken. As well as, one of the hinges that holds the keys in places is missing. At last but not least, they say they charge me $123 for the repair. When I come to pick it up, there is a hidden fee that they didnt tell me being about $99. Because of this, I dont trust them anymore with fixing my computer.

Not only was the service quick, friendly, and understanding, Michelle alone-- the techretary as she called herself, smiling warmly--is worth giving Armor Technologies your business. She was a shining star in my moment of utter panic and distress. On top of that, ATs prices are reasonable, their techs all smiled at me when we made eye contact, and the manager himself got off of a phone call to address me when I asked for him. Michelle was informative, professional, and above all that--just plain kind. If the techs are anything like their spokeswoman, they are all a credit to the city of Dekalb and made my day just that much brighter. Thank you, Michelle. They ought to give you a raise :)
