Prestige Computers

This is the best computer repair shop ever. The first time I went here with what appeared to be a dead laptop, they brought it back to life in minutes and did not even charge me anything. Since then I’ve been back a few times and always they are friendly, helpful and efficient and charge a very fair price. I have recommended this place to everyone I know.

I’ve been here quite a few times in the past either to pick up a couple of accessories or to seek counsel with the staff on a couple of computer related problems. It’s as great a computer shop you’ll find in town and they will do their best to get your stuff repaired and back to you as soon as.
What caught my attention on passing the other day was that they’d a whole window dedicated to musical instruments. When I say musical instruments I really mean electric guitars and accessories like strings, scratch plates and straps. They also have a couple of small amps and the full range of the brilliant Blackstar effect pedals.
Now to me it seems like a rather strange move what with the very well established Marcus Music not too far away but maybe they hope to pick up passing trade so it’ll be interesting to see how this diversification goes.
Pros: Brilliant for computer stuff and now stocking guitar stuff!
Cons: Small stock of the musical stuff.

I’m pretty much surgically attached to my laptop, so when the hard drive died on me a few months ago, I may as well have died with it.
Thankfully, I took it into Prestige, mostly because of their location — I could drop it in and pick it up really easily before or after work. They knew pretty quickly that the hard-​drive was fried (literally, parts of the PC were cooked!), and took it in to intensive care.
It took a few days for them to ring me back to give me the good news, but they had replaced the hard drive and fixed a few other little niggles in the thing,
I don’t honestly know if the price I was charged was fair, having never had to take a computer to the doctors, but they did a good job. The laptop now works better than ever and I’ll definitely be back to give it a check up in six months.

I’ve only had one brief experience with this computer repair store and it was on the whole a smooth experience.
The store is the usual IT experience, items for sales such as desktops, leads, cards and a plethora of accessories. I needed the services of someone with a better knowledge of IT than myself.
I had a problem. My laptop had decided it didn’t want to work. Admittedly it was approached four years, and for a laptop that’s equivalent to our 65 year retirement age.
I brought it down and explained my quandary. The staff were pretty such it was a problem with the battery itself and said they would have a look.
Two days later and behold, it is reborn. One new battery and £40 later I am free to roam the coffee shops again.
The experience was all positive. Staff were helpful and friendly and charged a fair amount for the check-​up and new battery.
