Advanced Computers

Dont go there. The owner is rude and does not know anything about computers. Avoid this place.

NEVER GO HERE!!! This guy has the WORST ATTITUDE EVER!!!
(NOTE: If Unilocal did not force me to give me at least 1-​STAR rating for posting a review, I WOULD HAVE GIVEN A ZERO-​STAR TO THIS GUY!!!)
I spilled coffee on my macbook pro and wanted to call up and find out based on my laptop’s condition, how much can be fixed and the charges. The guy NEVER LISTENED TO ME on the phone. Constantly kept interrupting me and asked me to come to the shop. He spoke just one sentence, then said he is busy with customers and ended the call.
I go to his store and wait outside for a very long time (he goes on a NEVER ENDING LUNCH BREAK FOR 2 – 3 HRS or so).
I come back in the evening to his shop and I see him working on some laptop. As soon as I begin describing the problem, he cuts me short, tells me I need to replace the whole thing for $ 500. I told him I do not think the problem is severe and if he can just open the laptop and check the nature of damages. He gives a CONDESCENDING AND RUDE reply that he doesn’t think so. The guy acted as if I DO NOT know anything about computers. I was not happy with the way he responded and so I told him I will think about it and come back tomorrow. He replies back — «Well, that doesnt mean you have an appointment»! When I asked when can I get an appointment, he doesn’t answer me and blabbers — «The longer you wait, the worse your laptop will get and you will be responsible». He NEVER even told me when I can get an appointment, acting too busy. Honestly, I JUST DINT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HELL THE PROBLEM was with his attitude.
This guy
1) DOESNT LISTEN TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY
2) DOESNT ANSWER YOU
3) SHOWS OFF AS IF HE IS THE BUSIEST COMPUTER REPAIR GUY IN THE WHOLE PLANET (ask for an appointment, chances are you will get a RUDE or NO reply)
4) TRIES TO PRESSURIZE YOU INTO PAYING MONEY and ACCEPTING WHAT HE SAYS
5) DOES NOT KNOW EVEN A TINY BIT HOW TO TREAT CUSTOMERS!!!
I am never going to stop by this place for ANY REASON WHATSOEVER. And, I RECOMMEND the same to everybody in West Lafayette. There are DEFINITELY BETTER PLACES nearby (Please check Unilocal or ask around).
I really hope he reads this (not that I hope he s going to change things)!

The owner or the guy who works in Advanced Computers will be very helpful when you have minor problem like you need to replace power cable, replace the processor, replace screen and so on. But, for serious problems, don’t go there. I think he could not fix serious problems of your laptop or PC.
But, if you if you want a better deal on Comcast cable, Internet and all telephone services, go to Advance Computer, an authorized dealer for Comcast.

FIne Service but expensive and rude

I’d give this guy no stars if I could. I did not give this person any business; so I am rating this place on their customer service and not their ability to do work. From the last review it seems it is a good place to go but I did not have the same experience. When something so essential as a laptop breaks, you want to get it fixed pronto. I’d advise in not going to this place. Individual is RUDE; perhaps not to everyone but I have heard similar stories. The guy is CONDESCENDING, he told me I didn’t know what was going on when I was merely explaining what I was experiencing. Well I’m not an idiot but even if I was I’m the customer. You want my business, act like it. I felt pressured to pay the $ 35 to diagnose the problem. If I was younger the whole condescending pressuring atmosphere would have made me buckle to pay but I’ve learned to steer clear of people like this unprofessional slick-​haired-​ass hat. To put the cherry on top, after I read over the form and said I didn’t want to do it. He said that, «good I didn’t want to do it anyway because you probably screwed it up badly by opening it and no one will work on your computer like i have promised». Yeah, thanks, I wasn’t born yesterday.

This locally owned electronics repair store is not only convenient for students on Purdue’s campus, but it comes at a decent price, too. For students who don’t have cars or other means of transportation, Advanced Computer, located in the Chauncey Village, gives a professional repair store for those in need. For the store being so close to campus, repairs and price tags are reasonable. $ 35 for initial diagnosis of the problem, and then depending on your problem and how you want to advance from there, you can leave it with Amir and in a few days, your computer will be good as new. They are very careful with your machines and treat them with utmost respect. Advanced Computer is also an authorized Comcast cable/​Internet distribution site, which is convenient if you are looking for cable/​Internet for your apartment. I signed up for my cable/​Internet through Advanced Computer and am very happy with it. Advanced Computer also sells modems, routers, cables of all varieties, laptops, monitors, headphones, et cetera. Everything you would need at such a prime location. One downfall is that Advanced Computer is picky on what credit cards they use, so I recommend bringing cash for your repairs.
