Mad Dog Computer Repair and Services

To be honest I was leary with the lack of a store. They were able to compete my diagnosis. They didn't charge more than the upfront fee once we agreed that the repair would not be worth the cost.

I used, I believe his name was Andrew, to take my old stuff off my computer because the on/off switch wore out and I needed a larger hard drive. I wanted 2 CD ROM drives for copying CDs. He told me he had a case with only one. I said I could live with it. I realize that I had the work done several years ago, but the USED case has been a pain in the ass from the start. I was stupid in that I didn't ask him for an estimate. I'd say he was here for about 2 hours. The new "box" was much smaller and harder to reach than the old tower. Within 10 months, the motherboard was gone. Also, several programs that ran well on my old computer did not work properly after he finished transferring my data.Next problem? Because he used a box discarded by someone else (he has a storeroom full of this crap), the on/off switch stopped working. I took it to 1201 (an excellent repair shop). They fixed a couple of things which I can't recall now and called to say I could save some money if I were to use the reset button to start the computer. I did.Tonight, a power surge wiped that out. I now have a computer that won't start. Back to 1201 I go after paying this total waste of time Mad Dog Computer person $700. I have two recommendations. Don't have this place rebuild or build a computer for you. And, get a Mac, which weathered the power surge with no problem. I much prefer Macs to PCs.

I have used Mad Dog for years and have never been disappointed.  Andrew has transferred files to new laptops multiple times and solved other problems that  were plaguing me.  Professional, great to work with, reasonably priced.  Once you know Andrew you have peace of mind.

Awful! Built a desktop for $700 that worked for less than 10 months. Defective motherboard! They as in HE is a magician--makes your money disappear. Avoid this phony! Had to have it fixed AGAIN because the case was used. The power button stopped working. Paid $150; however, have had to use the reset button to start. Tonight after power went out in my neighborhood, the reset button won't work. I wouldn't use this person if you paid me. (Updated 7/6/20)
