Computer Citi

I guess there’s never a convenient time for your computer to break since you’re probably wanting to use it for a reason. Mine stopped working a week before a major interview for a big new job, and I had crucial files on my computer that I had been preparing to present. I feared all my work was lost and I that would have to start from scratch. I originally took my laptop to another place down the road, and they said the typical turnaround time was close to a week. They seemed very laid back (too much so– I was panicked!) and said they’d give me a call when they had diagnosed the problem. I already knew what the problem was– the screen wasn’t working– and I just wanted my files off the hard drive! Like, yesterday! I waited somewhat patiently for almost 24 hours before calling Computer Citi to ask what their typical turnaround time was. The guy was extremely helpful and understanding over the phone, so I immediately drove to the other store to get my laptop back so I could take it to Computer Citi. Within four hours, C.C. called me to tell me that all of my data from the old laptop was on an external drive (as I had requested), and I was able to pick it up and get back to work. I found the price to be very reasonable. I’m borrowing my husband’s computer for now, but if I need to buy my own, I will definitely consider buying one of the cheap refurbished ones I saw at Computer Citi.

I was shopping for a custom gaming computer a few years ago and felt as though I was being «annoying» to a different local shop that I used to frequent with my questions about how to build a good rig. I was tired of being tackled by the sales-​hungry guys at the chain stores too. Needless to say, I was so glad when I finally found Computer Citi. The owner, Mohammad, asked me a lot of questions and ended up building a great machine for me.
Since then, I have been back dozens of times for upgrades, service, etc. I was especially grateful when my hard drive crashed and they were able to recover ALL of my data from it. I promptly referred another friend here and they too were able to get their family photos and videos back from their crashed hard drive too.
PROS– These guys are top-​notch computer experts who do quality work at fair prices in a timely manner
CONS– A little difficult to find. You have to turn into the Goodyear Tire parking lot on South Hill in Puyallup and they are toward the back of the lot (especially tricky if turning left across traffic from South on Meridian)
