Payless Computers

My laptop was very slow. so i went there… Very nice and helpful… reasonable priced… and lots of free advise…

Did not come across as being friendly, honest or helpful. Will take my business elsewhere.

These guys are clueless they do repairs with no receipts and you have to go to small claims to fix them, Peter the guy behind the counter doesn’t have a clue about configurations and when screws are parts are missing they can in like that (right) if you have a good experience there good for you as for me small claims court.

honest, wonderful service!

Peter is my go-​to guy for laptop repair. Referred by a good friend several years ago, Peter has helped me and many others I’ve referred. He does so with grace, speed, and at a price that is easy on my bank account. I’m thrilled with everything Peter has done for me. He’s as good as it gets!

My laptop stopped charging six weeks before a major deadline. Best Buy said it would be 4 – 6 weeks before they could fix it, and other computer repair folks that I talked to thought the motherboard needed to be replaced or just wouldn’t touch it. Fortunately, I was referred to Payless Computers. I brought it in, and two days later it was fixed — and for the quoted price. Many thanks!

The storefront stated that they did repair as well as carried parts for PCs and Macs. I needed a mini display port to vga adaptor so I thought I’d give this merchant a try.
I told the store owner what I needed when he appeared from the back from the store.
«I don’t know what that is,» he said. «What kind of computer is it for?»
«A mac mini,» I said.
«There are so many kind,» he replied. «You have to bring it in.»
«It’s a mini display port…» I repeated. I didn’t want to leave and bring in a computer that didn’t need fixing.
«I only know the adaptor by the part number or looking at the port. Bring you computer in.»
«Um, can you look it up on a computer here???»
«No. Too busy cleaning in the back today. Bring in your computer.»
I stood around dumbfounded for a few seconds, then left.
I still don’t know whether the merchant’s ignorance is feigned or part of his agenda to get me to bring my computer in. In any case it was unhelpful. I want to support my local merchant but I will not want to support this particular one.

Peter is such a liar. Just like others posted. His very rude and raise his voice by scare tactic’s to make you spend your money! Believe me don’t let the name Payless computers fool you!?! Get out of the store or run! Peter is nothing more then a money hungry man. I, ended up paying $ 120 and my computer still has problem’s!!!

I had a horrific experience with the man who works at Payless computers. He did not communicate with me at all about what he was doing to my computer before he began looking at it, and when I asked him to give me a quote (while he was already looking at it), he said $ 200. I told him I’d take it to a different store that offered a free diagnostic, and would possibly return, he started raising his voice at me and yelling at me that «there’s not such thing as a free diagnostic. you should learn. if you’re not happy, then go. just go.» i have never felt so disrespected and treated in such an unprofessional, rude, uncommunicative manner. basically, i walked in to ask questions, which were never answered, and walked out being yelled at.
Oh, and the last thing he said to me as I walked out the door was, «you’re not even american.» WTF is that supposed to mean???
and when i took my laptop to a different place, they did indeed give me a free diagnostic, and the quote was $ 65, not $ 200.
i would NEVER, EVER recommend this a-​hole to anyone.

I try to support local business. I’ve conducted several transactions with Peter including a laptop. When the hard drive on the laptop failed, Peter was reluctant to repair it under ‘warranty’ and said the next time he would charge me to repair. I don’t feel I was treated fairly, nor do I feel comfortable giving them my future business. Furthermore, I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone

Thank you, Peter, for fixing my broken laptop part for a fraction of what it would have cost to replace!
Peter is The Man (in a good way) — he knew exactly what was wrong within seconds of me plunking down my hardware. He gave me an accurate estimate, a great price and had my problem fixed very quickly.
It is so rare that you can actually get any electronics REPAIRED these days — usually the repair is more expensive than the replacement. But Peter, being awesome, does not support the corporate model of forced obsolescence. Instead, being highly knowledgeable and skilled, he will find out exactly what is wrong and if it is fixable he will fix it.
So, next time you’ve got a computer problem, don’t take it to the landfill, take it to Payless! Support local, independent, green businesses!
