I recently bought a new HP computer system from Brian. My 10 year old desktop died unexpectedly. Fortunately I had all of my data backed up. I had no one to call. I searched for computer repair near me and found Northboro Computers and good reviews. I called and met with Brian in his store the next day. After our conversation about what I wanted and needed, he ordered my new customized HP desktop which arrived in 2 days.

He set up the new computer, restored all my data from the hard drive from my old computer and I was back in business. All I had to do when I got home was to do all the simple connections and push the power button! I can't say enough about the friendly, professional and knowledgeable service. I'm so relieved to have found Northboro Computers! I had a few questions of course over the next day or so and my calls were promptly returned and concerns fixed. Brian is also very easily reached by email or phone. Brian had done all of the set up and all of my data was there including a free year of Kaspersky Anti-Virus!

And by the way, the price was fantastic, certainly very reasonable! If you need a new Windows computer or need service, you can't go wrong with Northboro Computers. Thanks Teri and Brian!

I got excellent service from Brian and his wife. He patiently explained the detail of the issue with me. He saved the data from my old broken laptop with reasonable charge. I highly recommend Northboro Computers

I had dropped off my laptop for service as Windows was not loading. There was a problem with one of the disks. Brian kept my laptop for 3 days and came back with the diagnosis that my hard drive was completely gone. I trusted that was the issue and requested a quote for possibly backing up my data. He quoted me with $300 and said he could "maybe" retrieve my data.

I went to another IT specialist who would try to work on retrieving my data as I felt the cost of $300 was high. He was able to run diagnostics and get Windows up and running. None of his diagnostics came back with the hard drive having problems or not working; just some disk errors which were fixed. Brian charged me $65 to tell me that my hard drive was shot and to misdiagnose the problem with my laptop. Had I stopped there, I would have paid $300 to get him to "try" and back up my data as well as bought a new laptop.

I called back to discuss the charge and try to understand how another IT professional was able to get my laptop running and tell me that though my hard drive was old, there was no actual problem with it. Brian completely talked down and over me and wouldn't adjust any of the charge. So I paid $65 to get a misdiagnosis on my laptop. Thankfully, I had gone somewhere else and didn't spend way more money on something I didn't need to. Had he provided better customer service in adjusting the charge as opposed to telling me "well I don't know what diagnostics he ran." The point is, he told me that my hard drive was completely gone and that I either needed to buy a new one, pay $300 to back up data or get a new laptop, when in the end, someone else got me up and running.

Great experience here, my power supply broke after a power surge and Brian was very helpful in getting it repaired. Even after finding a strange issue, he was able to work around it and get a PSU from his shop to work. He was very upfront and honest about the work he would be doing and explained each step he would be taking along the way, even helped out with the wiring in my rig for free. Figured I would be without my computer for at least a week, but the repairs were done within a day! Can't recommend this place enough and will be coming here for any future repairs!

They were wonderful with me. I brought in my laptop because it would not connect to the internet even though it would connect to the router. They had my laptop for a day and were able to fix it easily. They are very cost effective. It cost me less an a hundred dollars.

Hello everyone, I just want to say how impressed I was by the service provided by Northborough Computers LLC. I brought my desktop computer into their shop this past Thursday because my cpu was overheating. I suspected there was a problem with my liquid cooling unit. They told me it could be about two business days. Not only did they fix my computer ahead of schedule (by Friday morning), but they also installed Catzilla software on my computer so that I could test it out in the future.

I certainly wanted my computer fixed before the weekend and they came through for me. Thank you again, Northborough Computers LLC! I highly recommend them; great service! Kind Regards, Michael

Worst customer service. My computer crashed and I took it to this place to get it fixed. The owner told me that he will diagnose the problem for free but will charge for fixing it. On diagnosis he found that motherboard of the computer is damaged and he offered to backup the data for $65 which I declined. When I went to pick up the computer the owner demanded $65 to return the laptop.

When he was reminded of his earlier assurance of free diagnosis, he did not not relent. I paid the money but told that I am an unhappy customer. At this point the owner yelled at me and threatened to call cops. I felt cheated and the owner was totally disrespectful.

I needed to have a gaming computer built. After checking out all the online companies, i went to check out Northboro Computers. And after talking to Brian for ten minutes i knew i wanted him to build it. He actually had it done before i was ready for it. I will tell you it is a beast. I could not be happier. The bench marks are incredible on this thing. I got a fantastic machine, better and a lot cheaper than any of those sites. I will never go any place but to see Brian from now on.

Thanking my lucky stars I found Brian and Northboro Computers. I always check google reviews before I select a place and this one had the best. They were all correct! 5 stars is too few for the service they gave. Windows "upgraded" me to Windows 10 when I wasn't looking and I couldn't find any of my files! I tried everything and I had to leave to go to a conference overseas the next day. Brian literally dropped everything and within two hours and with a reasonable fee, he had it all fixed. Even offered advice on how to get more memory in the machine to make it work better. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

This store is amazing. I came here looking for a graphics card and Brian was very helpful. He's so nice he even helped install it. I'm definitely coming here again if I need help with my computer, and I'm recommending northborough computers to all my family and friends

Northboro Computers is the real deal. The owner, Brian, has accumulated the knowledge about software and hardware that can only come from being involved with computers for decades, and indeed it turns out he's worked with computers for 35 years and all around the globe. On top of that, he understands that to really help a customer, he has to go beyond repair and actually educate the customer about how to avoid problems and how to fix some things ourselves. He's friendly, a straight-shooter, and you can tell he enjoys helping people. While there, say hi to his adorable small dog, Zip.

I'm so glad I stopped in to see what this store was, The owner stopped to talk with me and tell me what services he offers as well when I told him my notebook was running a little slow he offered a free vent cleaning to see if that would help, WOW was i surprised with all the dust and fuzz that came out, sure enough my little notebook is running a lot cooler now.

I have called Brian on several occasions to solve software and hardware issues. He is very quick to respond to our requests and provides accurate troubleshooting to pin point the problem. Their pricing is very competitive while providing a quick turnaround without expedite fees! Along with superior service, Brian is very personable and understanding of your situation. I would not hesitate to recommend Northboro Computers for all of your computer needs!

Northboro Computers is The Doggie Den's hero. Brian has rescued us from nasty bugs, elderly machines and our own lack of knowledge. He has expertise in both hardware and software and is wonderfully responsive. His pricing is very fair.

I am very happy to count on Brian from Northborough Computer as my personal computer support person. Managing a regional sales effort from my home office, I need support on occasion and I always count on being able to call Brian and staff with any size challenge. He set me up with my new laptop, trained me on Office 2010, my new operating system and all the nuances that coincide with a transition I sleep better at night knowing I have someone local to help me.
