A great place for electronics parts and service. Even though they didnt have the battery I needed for my laptop in stock, they got one quickly. They were careful to ensure they got the right one by opening my laptop up and verifying the exact battery before ordering. Staff are very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.

My wife was in the hospital and I needed an earphone extension. I knew Radio Shack would have it, but they were gone. A techie friend said go to Altex. I called and Grayson answered. In a second, he told me how we could accomplish what my wife needed with a chord or with Blue Tooth. I walked in and got what I needed and was out the door in minutes. Im happy and my wife is even happier.

Altex is the best electronics supplier in Dallas. I wish there were more than one. But when I get tired of the wannabes or dont have time for Internet delivery time, they never let me down. Friendly knowledgeable staff and the products no one else has. Worth the drive every time.

This is one of the few electronics component stores that are still around. Please support them as we need this kind of store in town.The staff there is always very helpful and friendly, without being overbearing. Believe it or not they actually know what the heck theyre talking about which is pretty unusual.This is a great store, if youre into elecktronics, stop and and browse around youll be surprised at all the stuff theyve got

Love this place! They sell all the things a techie needs to service computer systems, security systems, sound studios and video systems. And they are the only one around in the Brownsville and Corpus Christi area.

Review №17

Great place to find hard-to-find electronic connectors. Also a great place to get electronic tools. They usually have whatever you may need to complete your telecom or audio/video job. I could spend hours walking through the aisles just looking because they have so much.

One of the last tech/electric superstores with varied electrical and networking tools as well as discrete electrical components like resistors and capacitors. Tanners and Frys used to be the go to places and Alltex is the last store standing. Workers were all friendly and knowledgeable and the store was well laid out and clean.

Altex has a lot of stuff Microcenter doesnt have which I like. However, I wish they were open a little later. They close at 5pm on the weekdays, which means I can only visit for the short time theyre open on Saturday.

They didnt quite have what I was looking for as Im building a new gaming PC but everyone is low on GPU stock. This was my first stop in and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Once I found out they didnt have what I was looking for I still felt like browsing and every staff member I passed asked to assist me

If they dont have it in store, they probably do online. Great spot for almost all parts and pieces needed for integration. Good spot for those hard to find cables, adapters, and connectors.They have a good selection of tech tools as well. They have a big selection of higher end components for your PC also.Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, always a pleasure, and I usually learn something as a bonus!

Went in first thing in morning to pick up a new power supply for my laptop and a monitor cable. Super helpful staff, and they let me verify the new power supply would, in fact, charge my laptop prior to purchase. Quick trip and got what i needed.

I found Altex on a whim one day when I was feeling a little lazy and didnt want to do the 30 minute drive from my apartment to Microcenter which is where I have done the majority of my computer purchases over over the last few years.I have to say I was very impressed with the customer service, they all were very polite and informative and showed a clear love for everything technology like I do.If you are looking for more professional computer solutions like servers, security systems, and cable management. In addition they have some of the most affordable tech repair prices Ive seen which also is great. I came in for a couple of cables and ended up coming back with my computer for help with a software related problem I was struggling to solve and they asked all the right questions. If I had any constructive criticism some of the pricing was not competitive which was a little disappointing. The had M.2 1tb that was 70 to 80 bucks over the amazon price and even the sales representative admitted that they didnt sell many of them as a result.Overall very impressed with Altex will definitely be coming back for my future computer solutions.

I once again had a great experience at this place. I have been coming here for probably 10 years now. You can always find whatever you’re looking for and if not staff are always available. I am extremely appreciative of having Saturday hours. In addition the prices are reasonable probably better than what you can get online and you can get it immediately.From my rack mount that I bought here too so much cabling it’s been unbelievable I’ve always been happy with the product.

Review №54

Woah! Yeah, its good. I have found the most obscure things that you can thinking about here. Not a lot of places get everything right. The enthusiast line of products and near enterprise grade items strike a happy medium. Need a keystone, yup! Need an odd connector, sure. What about a vertical dual monitor stand? They got it! Im impressed at the quality of products carried here, I went for the first time a month back..why did I ever go to a Frys? Altex = local = awesome = recommended.

Hey, we do our best! Ive been the tech at the Carrollton store for 25 years. I now have my customers children come to us for help and service. Treat people the way you wish to be treated and always be honest and do the right thing! Gave myself 4 out of 5 because I do make mistakes, but I always make it right.

I rate this place with an actual six star rating! This place offers the best in computer electronics that Ive ever seen. its unbelievable what you will find here because Im not computer savvy so in this case I was in firm any surprises about the new solid state drives and memory sticks and all the computer components that you could ever ask for. The sales associates are very accommodating to any questions you have and well walk you through the store and teach you everything youve ever wanted to know about computers. This is my new favorite playgrounds when it comes to building a special computer tower. Dont wait get in your car and go to this place because you are going to be surprised!

Altex is really the only store around anymore that has electronics components. They have a pretty good computer parts and custom build section, but there are better places due to their pricing there.Where Altex shines is having components, adapters, cables, tools and network gear that nobody else carries locally at reasonable prices. They are the best for AV and network cables by far. Amazon prices, but professional/certified quality.As a huge bonus, they have a knowledge, helpful staff. Ive been shopping there a few times a year for close to 20 years and I recognize some of the folks working there for many of those years.

Its exactly what it seems like it would be like. Lots of parts but could maybe use some better product management and inventory supplies for displaying products more efficiently.

Br
Review №72

Staff is not helpful, confusion on where to check out as employees are standing around not doing anything. They also added some random item to my checkout when I told them I didnt want to purchase that. The guy seemed confused and said, oh that might have been left by someone else. My thought is simple, if you was actually working and not standing around casually talking you wouldnt be so confused on customer checkouts.

We had an emergency with our business computers near closing time. Altex was amazing and got us up and running again within a few hours. We will definitely return for future repairs, and purchases.Thank you Altex for your outstanding service

This is a great place, as long as you have a bit of technological background. They do have just about anything you would need to build a computer from the ground up. It is all in bins, so finding it is not that easy, but the workers know where to point you. The process are also pretty competitive. They are also a great place to buy stocking stuffers for the computer guru in your family.

Review №80

Its a brick and mortar, the prices are going to be a bit higher. If you need IT equipment in a hurry, chances are theyve got it. Their customer service reps have always bent over backwards to help, unlike at some other computer stores in the area. Our company moved to the area a few years ago. Altex was right down the street, and we found all the incidentals we needed at fair prices. Worth your time to check it out if youre in the area.

Best computer and electronics store anywhere!!!Had a major emergency and even though they were closing in 20 minutes they said come on over and well help you. What?! At closing time youll help? They were helpful, kind, smart, professional, and many other things. This is why I have been a customer for 18 years. For sure I am now a customer for life! Spread the word that this place rocks. Thank you Jason and Uberto, from a life long customer with sincere thanks!

When you realize that the big box and office retailers are abandoning the desktop computing market, stop wasting any more time and come to Altex. This is, and always has been, a computer store. They have a serious line of very capable desktop computers for your budget and needs, or they have all the parts and components to build a custom system from the inside out. Their ready-to-go units are not pre-loaded with useless junk and advertising either.

They have a lot of hard to find equipment & supplies.The staff is usually very helpful too.Pricing varies from very low to somewhat high, but its a great option when you definitely need something today.Much easier to deal with than Frys electronics, theyre oriented more toward small business customers than Frys is - but its still retail and anyone can shop here.

Came here to get a basic pre-built computer for work. The computer did not work after getting it back to the office so I had to go back to the store.
