Fast Response in a Fully-Equipped Shop
Our service department is fully-equipped to work on any job brought in.
While we have a next-day workbench policy on our jobs, we can typically start working on any task right away. But, if your concern has high importance or needs to be checked immediately, we have priority repairs available by request that may incur additional fees.
Service charges start at a low fixed price and can increase depending on the job. While other repair shops charge you by the hour, our labor charges are based on how much work we have done instead of how long your machine has been sitting on our bench.
This is because installing, troubleshooting, and updating a computer all take a long time. So by assigning a fixed rate to our customers, we believe that we’re giving them the most of what they pay for and hopefully, make them feel more satisfied.
Depending on the job, our average fix time can range from one to three days: but again, some repairs can be done in only a day. Please be aware we tend to work on a “first in” basis unless prioritized.
Our Client Experiences
EXCELLENT Based on 93 reviews Mark Reardon2025-01-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service. Machine working well. I would recommend them of Apple computer services. Chris White2024-12-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went to unlock my four and a half year old desktop, entered the pin, and it just shut down. I fiddled around swapping things in and out but eventually gave up and dropped it off with Core Computers. Ethan worked away at it and narrowed the problem down to the motherboard. He recommended a good, solid, replacement board that wasn't too expensive (ultimately I decided to spend a little more to stay with my old brand though). Bought the new board, dropped it at the shop late Thursday and my desktop was reassembled, tested, and available for pickup by midday Friday. Pretty happy with the outcome, the price, the service, the people, and would have no issues getting Core Computers involved fixing my gear again. Thanks guys.

Cost of inspection and repair $85. 2. Desktop computer (Windows 10) stopped working. Ethan was able to get past the blank screen, updating drivers.

This shop is amazing. Nathan is extremely helpful. I took my EPSON printer to get repaired, it was able to get repaired for free under warranty and was super quick. I just had another issue with my printer and I just called up Nathan and he told me exactly what to do and it's fixed! I was Googling for 30 minutes and couldn't find answer. LOVE this shop. I HATE EPSON printers, do not buy one.
