Computer Prodigies staff were very helpful and answered all my questions concerning my MacBook and everyone provided excellent customer service. Not being a tech savvy customer, they took the time to explain various functions and answered all of my questions. The staff were also very friendly and they were prompt in completing the repairs to my computer. Finally, they offered a “great” price for the repairs needed. I highly recommend the service.Stan (Chicago)

I regret... NOT GOING TO COMPUTER PRODIGIES FIRST!I went on a camping trip and lost my phone, turns out I left it on a pick up bed and the driver left with it. It ended up getting tossed on the road and it was run over countless times!We are loyal customers of Computer Prodigies but never thought that my Iphone 11 could be brought back from the dead, so I ended up buying an SE. The SE is not the same! A $400 phone cannot compare to a $1200 one. My husband ended up consulting with CP and they gave it a good prognosis.I just got my 11 back yesterday and apart from the damage to the edges from the glass breaking and scraping the frame, it is the same! No issues! It works great and I am super grateful to them for taking the time to fix it (since I am still paying it off).Take your devices straight to them for a free consultation!

Out of three places I called they answered right away. Needed old style computer keyboard, that Ive had a hard time finding and i didnt know the name of the style of plug. They knew exactly what I needed and they had it. Showed up and showed me two i asked how much and he said you can have it....both of them. Good people know theyre stuff. Definitely going back for anythig computer related .

Thank you Justin! I brought in my grandsons PS4. He totally fried the hard drive. I brought it in Wednesday late afternoon and he had it done on Monday. You guys also worked on my old Apple laptop a few years ago, and for as old as it is it’s still working great because of you. Apple told me to get rid of it it’s to old. You guys are the best. Thank you!

Had an iPads pass down from oldest to youngest and they were in rough shape! All better now. Even an old iPhone was back to life. Now road trips are a breeze! Thanks guys! The four kiddos are so thankful!Oh and they gave me a warranty?! That’s great! Had a horrible experience at apple. Won’t ever go back there again. Computer prodigies is the best

Such an awesome experience! We came for a screen repair and a screen protector, and when we figured out that we didn’t have the screen protector in stock at the time, they were so professional and texted us as soon as they became available and put it on for us quickly in-store, and even threw in an extra protector for the miscommunication. A great small-business for our electronic needs that genuinely care about your experience!

Ive came here a couple times for several phone repairs. This time I dropped my phone and the screen wouldnt turn on, even though there was no cracks or damage to the screen. No questions asked he took a quick look and replaced the screen at no cost. Very professional and good customer service. Give this place a try if you havent already.

I have had many cell phone screens replaced here and it’s always very fast and expertly done. They will give you the most economical option, and never try to shamelessly upsell you, or prey on your lack of technological knowledge. I also really like that it’s a local, small business.

I rarely write reviews unless it is a significantly great review! This place is a rare find in today’s business world. Honest and reliable service is what you can expect at Computer Prodigies. Based on all the other places I called to inquire about estimates, including Geek Squad, they gave me little hope of recovering my brand new laptop without spending as much as what I spent on the purchase price. Computer Prodigies was a sigh of relief.... Justin was able to give me an estimate which was a fraction of what the others were charging. On top of the affordable price, the fast service was unbelievable! Being a full time single working mom and a full time online student the prompt repair saved me a lot of headaches.Thank you Justin for being a great business and staying in our community.🙏

Review №29

I recently went to Computer Prodigies to get my laptop fixed and I must say I’m completely blown away by their service and honesty. First off, they offered a free evaluation of the problem and I quickly got a call back. They were completely transparent and honest and told me it was a simple battery problem. Due to the fact the problem was an easy fix, they did not charge me. If not for Computer Prodigies’ honesty I would have paid a good amount just to get the laptop working again. Their customer service, reliability, and honesty is why I plan on going back for any problems in the future. I Highly Recommend Computer Prodigies!!!

Review №33

Computer Prodigies provided me with honest and professional service at a great rate. My laptop was not outputting audio, so I took it to them for repair. After proper disassembly, they determined the issue was not defective speakers or a board issue, but simply the speaker connector had come undone from the board. They notified me of the issue and adjusted the repair cost, since the issue no longer required a full speaker replacement. Transparency comes a long way, and I highly recommend Computer Prodigies for their professionalism and quality rates!

Review №36

Took my phone in to fix a cracked glass and although it took longer than expected (my screen is curved so I wasnt surprised) they handled my phone with care and gave me a loaner phone. I received my phone back within a week or so and there were some screen issues I noticed. When I contacted them regarding it, there there was no hesitation to look at it again and they took care of it with ease. Wish the process was faster but understandable with the type of phone I own.

Under promised and over delivered. Fantastic customer service. They kept me well informed of all potential outcomes and any issue that arose, I was briefed on. They went an extra step that wasn’t necessarily needed. Computer prodigies will definitely be my first stop from now on.

I have known Justin since the very beginning of starting his business. He would come out personally to my home and fix my mother’s computer. I still use Justin today for all my computer and electronic needs. He has fixed my desktop,laptop,and I pad. He fixes screens and has saved our files on our desktop recently. He is great to work with and is very professional and will take good care of all your computer issues. I totally recommend him 100%!! Give him a call I promise you won’t regret it!

I wanted to just mention what a great experience I had with Computer Prodigies. First, they were responsive via FB messenger. Secondly, they took care of my issue I was having with my phone with exceptional pricing. Whether you are in the city or suburbs, they are worth the drive to deal with all your phone and or computer issues.

The dude is super knowledgeable with the devices. Helped me with my laptop. On my first visit, he gave me possible solutions that I could try on my own. On my second visit, I talked about the issue with my laptop and he was able to fix it. Laptop is running smooth now and he even gives more information about your device upon request. Chill dude as well. Never met the dude and his conversation skills felt that of someone Ive known for a long time. Will definitely be coming back.

Review №43

I had high expectations based on the reviews, I brought in my phone to get a battery replaced. Then after 2/3 days after pick up the screen started showing imperfections. Brought it background back to them to see what can be done and they claim it has water damage. I know it’s a my word against them type of battle, but I know for a fact I didn’t do anything to my phone. And weird how after I get the repairs done the screen gets ‘water damaged’.

They did an amazing job on my 27inch iMac. It was diagnosed within the hour and I believe it could have been done that day if not for a special part that had to be ordered. The computer was back in my hands in no time and at a very reasonable price from now on I will trust no one but computer prodigies with all of my devices. They have a repeat customer in me. Do yourself a favor and get it done right the first time. Come here ASAP!

Love this place!! After cracking the screen on my MacBook Pro, I went to apple and they told me if was vintage and I could not replace it. Apparently Apple does this so you have to buy a whole new computer. After reading a few reviews I decided to call Computer Prodigies. They were super helpful and gave me a few options. They were able to order the “vintage” part as apple stated was not possible and replaced it in a few days. Very happy with the new screen and so glad I went to Computer Prodigies! Great customer service! Professional! Knowledgeable!!

I shattered my iPhone 6S after dropping it. I went looking for a place with good reviews and result when I stumbled upon Computer Prodigies. They agreed to get my phone fixed within 45 minutes. I dropped it off at 6pm and it was ready by 6:35pm. I was called to pick it up the same day. The customer service was excellent and they were more than willing to answer all of my questions. The replaced screen costs included damage to LED, a screen protector and a 1 year warranty. Highly recommend!

I used to go all the way to the Northside to get electronics repaired but this is an awesome local gem in the Southwest side. It was done in ten minutes, did not have to give them my phone password and they gave me ten dollars off for donating two cans to their Thanksgiving food drive! Love finding quality local businesses!

Repair guy, Justin, was extremely personable, cordial, and knowledgeable. Had my laptop battery replaced and some wear and tear work done quickly and at a very reasonable rate. We communicated most of our transactions and interactions through texts which was really convenient and satisfactory for me since Im Gen Z and prefer text or messaging over unnecessary phone niceties. Would definitely recommend to everyone needing any kind of tech repair, especially locals. My laptop now looks brand new.

Rate computer prodigies 5 stars! I took my nieces tablet in for a repair, my sister in law had taken a previous device elsewhere and didnt do a good job. This time around I suggested to take it myself somewhere I knew would do an awesome job. She and my niece were very happy! Very satisfied with their service and plan to take more devices to them again.If you are looking to have a device fixed dont hesitate to take it to computer prodigies!

Edited because business was responsive and tried to address my concerns.I went in for a keyboard repair for a laptop and a cleaning for an external keyboard.The laptop keyboard had some keys that werent working, they replaced the keyboard affordably and friendly and the work has been great, I havent had a problem since.The external keyboard I had spilled kombucha on it. I dried it out as quickly as I could. The keys still read but were a little sticky so I brought them in for a cleaning. They said my keyboard was too compact and they werent able to open it up but they suggested I spray isopropyl alcohol and clean it out myself. It worked wonderfully. They were willing to help me even if they werent making money off me.I would recommend this place

I have taken 2 desktop towers and 1 tablet in for virus removal back-up of files and /or repairs. Each time they exceeded my expectations and my devices worked perfectly! When it came time for a newer model of a desktop, I went straight to them! I am very happy with my new computer for my home office that only cost me $350 instead of $2,500! I highly recommend them without any hesitation! Tell them Renee sent you! 🤓

Hours on the door state they open at 10am. I was just outside ringing the bell to no answer at 11:20am.Business card also states a 10am open time on Saturdays.Edit after owner response:My mistake if there is a sign on the window; That does no good when Im already there.I am understanding that the business card is also outdated however your website did and still has your business listed as open from 10am-4pm on Saturdays.I wouldnt call this review as Bashing a small business but more of bringing something that should be corrected to your attention.The review is changed to 4-star after your swift response.
