Compcare

It is unfortunate that this went the way it did. But I ultimately blame my self for oversight. I checked the dc input on my computer and it was flickering I had to wiggle the cord which lead me’ to believe the cord might be the issue I find this is not the case because when I plugin my friends adaptor and try to power up the machine does not even come on same exact machine and everything. I take the machine apart and realise that my dc input is a little loose but not enough to warrant shortage. I bought a new dc input and called this shop and the worker said are you sure that it’s the dc input I say yea what would you charge to solder the new piece and he replies $ 95, great right? So I take him in the laptop and the adaptor he calls back and tells me’ that it’s the adaptor that is bad ok fine I can deal with that he then says that it’s a $ 95 dollar price for labor?! I then think to myself if you had a spare adaptor that you tried in my laptop to determine that my adaptor was faulty and then you open My laptop to check the internals I know it took me’ a half hour to do a complete breakdown of my laptop and put it back together and I’m a novice with professional friends. So is this what you are charging me’ $ 95 for? And his response was yes because it is my labor. My response was this hardly seems reasonable but it is my fault for not buying an adaptor. He says if I soldered the dc input then I would’ve charged you the same. I said I’m not gonna argue with you I’ll pay because we did agree upon this price as a fee for labor and I wanted to be as honourable as possible but I would not risk $ 95 dollars vs a repeat customer anyday, but what do I know I’m just another customer who builds desktops on the side and have ppl who have laptops that need the average maintenance every now and again.

I’ve never set foot in this business. I once looked in the window and it looked pretty legit. I was in need of a stick of RAM so I called this shop up to see if they had it. They said they did. What they said next will shock you. They told me to go somewhere else to buy it. Rejection hurts. At first I felt discriminated against– like Rosa Parks – but what they said next will shock you. They said that I should simply go to Best Buy to get the RAM because Best Buy would have a more fair price. They explained that the way their indie shop makes money, is by repairs and installations. Inserting RAM is so easy that a baby could do it. I mean, if a baby can place those shapes into that ball with those shapes cut out of it, then certainly a baby can snap a stick of RAM onto a Motherboard. Thus the fine gentlemen (of whom there are 2) of Compcare Services knew that charging me for installing RAM Is the ultimate cheese – and they let me know. Honestly, how often do we get honesty? 5 stars for thee!
