I brought in my laptop in two weeks ago for a repair and haven’t heard from them since. I have tried to get in contact with them multiple times. Update(4/24): They have reached out to me about my laptop since and said they were having issues with their phone lines since the office flooded twice. Not a bad company, their communication could be a lot better though.
My 15yo son had a problem with his laptop and was in search of a specific part. I drove my son over to the store and we were greeted by Mike. He was clearly having an exceptionally challenging day (the facility had a water leak and the restoration crew was onsite), however, Mike took the time to chat with my son, offered some possible ideas, and they worked on a few solutions together. We very much appreciated Mikes time, patience, and expertise!
Dropped my laptop off early march and they werent able to fix it. Mike wont respond to my calls or my texts and I still dont have my laptop back 5/12. I am yet to get a refund for the parts that I paid for and am out a laptop and charger.
I had several problems arise from my gaming computer when something simple went very downhill quickly, my computer being worth quite a bit of money I was very worried. Thankfully I brought my PC here and not only was everyone extremely nice and helpful but Id like to give a personal thank you to Austen, He kept me updated every step of the way, apologetic for things that were completely out of his control but even if so, he was always giving me daily updates and went above and beyond with taking car of my baby (PC). I cannot recommend Computer Service Specialists of New York enough to anyone, the owner Mike was very nice and kept me up to date but everyone that works there is very nice and helpful and Austen who had worked on mine was just amazing!
Mike gave us the best experience possible! He was so patient and kind and the price was very reasonable. We are very satisfied with the outcome, he knew exactly how to resolve the printer and laptop issue. Mike definitely cares about his customers and did all he could to ensure that we were satisfied with his work! Overall, a great experience and I highly recommend to come here for any technology issues!
Was cool at first definitely bought my sister’s computer - low balled me - figured that out after I spoke to a couple people I know about computers / business 😒(thanks) .. he was sort of helpful over the phone when trying to help with computer ... asked him how much it would be to fix MacBook (was honest and told him I didn’t have a ton of money ) but he told me he’d check out my laptop for free & fix it within a day or two if I just put a great review on his pages...so, I did... he then ghosted all my calls/ texts 🤨 pretty jerkish thing to do. that was like .. 3-4 months ago? To this day I haven’t heard from him .. so I’m taking my great review back 👌🏼
I called first thing on a Tuesday morning and got an immediate response from Mike. He came out that same day and helped our dental office to get back up and running as quickly as he could. Mike went out of his way to stay in communication with me and complete the job quickly. He was very knowledgeable and happy to answer any other additional questions we had. We will be using Computer Service Specialists of New York for all of our future IT needs. Thank you!!!!!
Mike did an excellent job upgrading my laptop. He installed a new Solid State Hard Drive. I called in the afternoon and dropped it off a few minutes later. He had the laptop ready to go by the evening. Very Fast service and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommended!
My computer crashed & all I had left was the blue screen of death. I had some critical files that I needed to be saved. Well, for a very reasonable price, my critical files were saved! They even saved important files that I had forgotten about. Even though I had told them that it wasnt an emergency, they still had my files recovered the same day I had dropped off my computer. It was a very pleasant experience. Mike & Jennifer are very courteous, professional, & responsive. I highly recommend Computer Service Specialists of NY! Not all heroes were capes! Some save your computer files!!
Austin fixed my laptop screen quickly and cleaned my laptop afterwards. Austin is so professional, kind and gets the job done ! 100 percent recommend to everyone. Austin and Joe are great ! ——chin
Do NOT do business here! This place is a scam!The owner, who goes by Michael Paul Goodman, is a lying phony who will take your laptop, ask you to pay upfront, and never get back to you. Hell ignore all calls(as he screens them) and texts from you after he has your property and cash. He looked me in the eye and told me hed get my laptop back to me in 2 days(promising to return it on 4/18/21) after I told him I was in college and had an exam in 4 days. Hes a literal monster. Then he lied to me about Cashapps servers being down to get me to pay him again on Venmo stealing a total of $200 AFTER taking my laptop.Computer Service Specialists is not a legitimate place to get any computer repaired. Hit up a local Best Buy--theyll actually be of service.He likes to respond to negative posts like this saying, oh, im so sorry for the delay as this is unacceptable--were in contact with the Brighton police to try and retrieve stolen property which again is a lie intended to deflect blame from his company and to attempt to maintain a good reputation.On behalf of my story and all the others hes stolen from, Im currently in the process of taking this fraud to court so do yourself a favor and avoid the stress. Id give negative stars if Google would let me.
Do not do business with this company. I brought a laptop in on 02/22/21 because it was not working. Was told I needed an SSD, and had to pay for it up front, which I did. To date (04/08) I do not have my laptop. I cannot reach anyone at the company by phone and have left numerous voicemails, the times I have gone to their location the door has been locked and no one answers. Essentially, they have stolen my property and charged me $150 dollars for the theft. Id give ZERO stars if I could.
The Best emergency PC repair in Rochester! He is so nice, so patient and very professional. I can’t believe I can get my pc fully repaired and even fully cleaned from inside to outside on Saturday! Thanks to him I can get back on to work now. I will definitely recommend him to my friends in U of R if they have any issue with their computers!
This is my sons company and he asked me to leave a review for him. Michael has been working with computers and technology since he was 10 years old. He received his Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer Certification at the age of 15 which was a feat in itself. He started his first business when he was 18 and has been a business owner since. He will go out of his way to make sure the customer is taken care of and will go over and beyond when necessary. His mother and I are very proud of him and all the success he has had with all of his endeavors!
I contacted CSS about fixing a print head on my home printer. After talking about the problem and what it would cost to fix it I ended up buying a new printer from them instead. Price was very fair and service was great. Austin went out of his way to meet me after official hours so I could purchase the printer. They also took my old printer to dispose of it. Thank you!
I’m twelve years old and Mike and Briannah were a great help! I called because I wanted to build a pc, and they hooked me up with everything I needed. They were extremely helpful and kind. They walked me through the process without giving it all away so I could still learn. When I needed help they made sure to get right back to me. If you need anything done computer/technology wise, these are the people you want to help!
I worked primarily with Mike on a Ransomware issue, and while we were unable to get absolutely all of the data back, he was incredibly supportive, responsive, and offered additional avenues for potential recovery in the future. You could not ask for a kinder, more down to earth group of people capable of doing such great work. Highly recommended for emergency or routine repairs alike -- they absolutely know their stuff here.
ABSOLUTE WORST! Ive been trying to obtain a PCB board that was left out of a portable hard drive for over a year! Cannot get their support or the head of the company to reply to me. The card is there on site and I simply cannot get anyone to call me back. All I want is the card back, via mail or Ive offered SEVERAL times to pick it up. This is the worst company to do business with!
Excellent customer service, very good pricing! The owner is knowledgeable and kind; he took my PC and had it fixed within the hour, and went above and beyond to show me how he did it and clean the dust out. Ill be coming back for all my tech needs!
I had a computer scare this week that made me desperately find a computer technician in the city for help. It turned out nothing was wrong with my computer but some dirty in my charging port that was blocking my charger from charging my system. I was charged for things I did not need, 8 GB of RAM and data retrieval. I was really upset because when I got home from the technician in the city he had corrupted my user profile and I could not access my files without signing into a temporary file. It was late and I had assignments to do for this weekend but the computer tech was not available until Sunday which is too late. I found CSS of New York on Google and they responded really fast and I told them what had happened to me and they told me they would not charge me for an after hours fee because of what happened to me. Mike is really nice and helpful. I got my computer back the next day and it is working perfectly again. I will be using their service if need be for the future. I highly recommend them plus they dont overcharge you!
Mike and his team really put in the extra effort to help me with my problems. You can tell they all work very hard and care about the customer. I highly recommend
My husband took my mothers laptop to be looked at about why it wouldnt turn on. We were told the computer was fried and they offered to have us purchase a computer through them. It has been 2 weeks with no contact, and no new computer. We received the invoice for the computer we paid up front for, and we see on the invoice that they sold us a refurbished laptop for $400..... not a new computer. We have tried to call, weve left several messages, texted the owner, and still recieve no phone calls back and have not received the computer we purchased. We will be calling the BBB and disputing the charge for the money we spent. DO NOT AAK THIS COMPANY FOR HELP, THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND DISAPPEAR, OR SELL YOU A USED LAPTOP FOR DOUBLE THE PRICE OF A NEW ONE. DO NOT USE THUS COMPANY.
I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau about Computer Service Specialists of NY bc after a week and a promise to get my computer back today I still haven’t received it after I dropped it off to get the battery replaced. He has both my computer and the money him up front and I cannot get a straight answer about when I can pick it up. I’ve stopped his office three times and he hasn’t been there. After I started feeling concerned about this I checked the BBB and found other complaints similar to mine from recent months. Mike has been extremely difficult to get in contact with and there is no other way to contact anyone else and no listed business hours. I do not recommend this business to anyone.In response to the comment left by the owner on 11/6 (in response to my review in the paragraph above), I want to be clear that I received my non-repaired laptop and charger nearly two weeks after I dropped it off to have the battery replaced and the only reason I got it back was because I got an attorney involved. The number listed to call him directly was called numerous times during the time I was trying to get my laptop back from him and it went nowhere (no one answered a message wasnt able to be left). Since the Better Business Bureau has other complaints very similar to mine, I know that my experience was not a unique one.
I havent been able to contact this company for a long time, and I dont know when he can fix my computer and when can I het my computer. New:5/10 Well, another month has passed and the company has lost contact completely.
THIS COMPANY STOLE MY GAMING PC! Dont be fooled by all the positive reviews, most are by friends or family, his parents review pretty much tells it all.Michael P Goodman (owner of business) has had my PC for over 2 months now. From a conversation I overheard by him, my PC has been done for 3+ weeks and they never once called to tell me any info about it. He hides behind caller ID and will not answer his work or mobile phone, return voicemails, or texts. Set up plans on 4+ different occasions in person for me to pick up my PC and pay whatever bill there was just to get my pc back. He ghosted me on every single attempt. At this point, Im thinking he either sold off my pc in parts because the market is so hot right now, or using it for his own crypto mining. All I wanted was my gaming PC back that I built myself in March. He and his company has failed at every step of the way. I have heard from both the BBB and law enforcement that here have been multiple issues with him and his company regarding things like this. DONT BE FOOLED BY FAKE REVIEWS LIKE I WAS THAT THIS IS A GOOD PLACE TO REPAIR YOUR COMPUTER. He will say whatever he thinks you want to hear to make you happy and deliver on none of it. Hes worse then a politician. If you doubt any of this is true, feel free to contact me and I will tell you all the lies and deceit this company has to offer you.
Mike helped me with the computers at our business. Great and prompt service! Very easy to communicate with. Quick to provide answers and he already came up with a reasonably priced plan for moving forward with our hardware and networking needs. I highly recommend this company!
Customer service was absolutely amazing! They were friendly and were able to assist me with my Mac issue immediately. 10/10 recommend!!!!
The owner is very responsive and explains everything done to the computer in detail with you, along with giving a very fair price
Mike was amazing! My computer works like new! Thank you!
We needed our computer cleaned (quickly). We looked up computer services near us and, fortunately, Mikes business showed up with great reviews. That happened on a Sunday night. On Tuesday, our computer was up and running. Mike was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable as well as reasonably priced. We would certainly call on his business again!
Unfortunately in order to get anything from the owner Mike Goodman you have to text multiple times (as he doesnt answer phone calls) and its always one excuse after another when he does respond. Makes promises and then makes lies as to why he cant follow through with what was promised.Save yourself the headache and find another computer vendor.
I had a great experience with Computer Service Specialists of New York. They were EXTREMELY reasonable and accommodating. I was in a rush to get my laptop fixed so I could work from home. They were able to get the job done over night. I am extremely great full and HIGHLY recommend.
Amazing experience, Mike is so flexible, got my repair done on a minutes notice, even after the situation changed and the issue was something entirely different, he handled it for me. Super nice, very accommodating, best deal youll find. Best experience Ive had with any tech repair Ive needed. Highly recommend
Mike did a great job setting up our phone system as well as helping me with some IT issues at our company. Great response time and very helpful. Highly recommend this company. We will be using them for our buffalo branch as well!!
When my gaming PC crashed & I didn’t know how to fix it I called Mike. He came by that same day and repaired it. Very reliable & reasonably priced.Thanks Mike!
Mike was able to help me remotely. He was very informative and very patient. More so he helped me resolve the problem. Thanks Mike
Thank you to Briannah Williams and Mike Goodman. They over under promised and over delivered across the board! This company has Exceptional Service, super friendly owners who are very knowledgeable,. The pricing also cannot be beat. They delivered a new computer to us with all of our data from our old computer transferred over in about a days time. They took the time to go over ever little detail and made sure we understood exactly what we were getting, and how to use. They were very clear on the pricing upfront and this made it easy for us to make the decision to purchase a computer through them. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs any type of computer or phone assistance.
CALL THE POLICE IF THEY HAVE YOUR EQUIPMENT!!! THEY ARE NOT RETURNING ANYONES EQUIPMENT!!!
My laptop screen wasn’t working; then it was. They got the job done for a super reasonable price and in a sweet 24 hour turnaround. I still can’t believe it was that cheap to fix it. Oh and they dropped my computer back off at my house since I was laid up from surgery. Thanks again!
I selected CSS of NY because the reviews were excellent. In this case the reviews were spot on. Mike was professional and his assessment of what it would take to fix my computer was correct. Mikes estimate was very fair and returned my computer within a couple of days and made very good recommendations to increase the level of anti virus ware. I highly recommend Mike and company to service your personal and business computer needs.
This company is A-ok. Personalized service right to your home. Owner,Mike,was very prompt with returning calls,and answering questions. Brianna came to my house to look at my devices,2cell phones and 2 tablets. We discussed the problems, she explained very knowledgeably what she would be doing.I was a bit nervous when she left with all my devices but I neednt have worried. She came back to my home later on with problems completely fixed. And the cost of these services was extremely reasonable.I can honestly recommend Mike and Brianna, Computer Service Specialists.
Superb customer service!! Mike was super helpful and responsive from the minute I called. He was willing to meet me at my home or at the office and was very patient and thorough in explaining services. He did a fantastic job for very reasonable pricing and completed the work in less than 24 hours. I feel peace of mind my laptop and iPad are working as it should.
Mike and his team has been instrumental in keeping my server and network functioning. They are always a phone call away and are very reasonably priced considering the level of technical support they provide. Highly recommended across the board!
I was looking for a local company to design and publish my website. I was referred to Mike and Briannah by a close friend who had some work done for their small business by Computer Service Specialists and they had nothing but positive things to say. After doing some initial research on the company they had excellent reputation and a multitude of 5 star reviews. I decided to sit down with Mike and Briannah to discuss the project. They delivered in every capacity I could hope for. I highly recommend their services, especially for corporate web design. They took care of the entire process A-Z and the project cost was competitive.
I was on google just trying to find a reputable and honest person to work on fixing my flash drive, and I found more than just that! I am very appreciative of his services. He was patient with me, although I was very frantic about my flash drive being irreparable, as it contained very important information, but he assured me that hed try his best to fix it. Although the extent of my damage was too severe to fix, I feel confident that he took his time and tried everything that he could do to fix it. I will definitely be using him in the future. Thanks so much for your help for your patience and kindness!
We hired Computer Service Specialists of New York to get our new office network up and running. Michael and his team were there for us - answering questions, making recommendations, and most importantly, getting everything done on time. They were very responsive to our needs and their work exceeded expectations.
The best customer service around with great quality work! Very helpful and went above and beyond expectations. Great people and better service ! Recommend taking your business here!
Computer Service Specialists has sbeen providing IT Support for my business for over a year now. They are incredibly responsive and reliable in addition to being well priced. We will continue to utilize all of their technology services and highly recommend them to any business looking to make a positive change.
Amazing job by Bri. Incredible turnaround time. Dropped my laptop off on Tuesday and had it back the next day. Extremely knowledgeable staff who get the job done. Also VERY Affordable!!! Recommend to anyone with computer needs.
This business is amazing they have been so amazing thank you so much
Very happy with the top notch service from Mike at CSS. Mike and his team worked hard to source a unique screen for my laptop and kept me informed of updates along the way. Clear expectations and straight forward explanations. Very flexible and friendly to deal with. Thanks Mike!
Very professional, responds quickly. Highly recommend!
Personal, honest service. Highly recommend Computer Service Specialists. Quick response to my call and had my computer back within hours.
Very knowledgeable with all of the computer issues. Fixed all of my problems and was fairly priced.
I am very happy I found your company, I know very little about computers and I am on a budget. Mike and Briannah both helped me through getting my laptop back up and running and they did it very quickly. The people and the company are both excellent and I will continue to use them for all my computer problems.
CSS helped me with my laptop, for a very fair price. They had it back to me exactly when I was told it would be and it now works perfectly! Highly recommend.
I called Them late at night and they came to my apartment the next day. He fixed my laptop issues, and now it runs great! It is much faster now. He was very affordable and I will use CSS from now on for all of my computer issues and questions.
My laptop had crashed and I needed to get my project off of my hard drive and they were able to recover the file that same day! They saved me from having to redo the entire paper! Thank you so much CSS!! Definitely recommend them for any computer service. A+++
Nothing but extremely positive things to say about this company. Both Briannah and Mike are second to none in their expedience and expertise. I was in the unfortunate position of having both laptops I depend on being down. Briannah worked tirelessly to get my 10 year old laptop that was bogged down up and running in short order so I had something to work with while my newer laptop could be attended to.. And this was no small task It is now working flawlessly. The newer laptop had a charging issue and the problem was troubleshooted and also fixed in a very short time frame. All being told, issues with both laptops were addressed and fixed within a week. From what I see out there, this most definitely would not have been the case had I brought it anywhere else. I highly recommend their services without any hesitation.
I called them to fix a Disk Full issue on several of my PCs and look to install dual monitors on 3 desktop computers. They cleaned the computers and turned around the dual monitors very quickly. Great Job and very professional. Highly recommended!
I own a small business in the upstate New York area. I have dealt with many Computer and IT experts over the past 20 years, I have never seen the level of dedication and attention to detail that Ive experienced with CSS of New York. They came to my office on a moments notice and stayed until 11pm. Im eternally grateful.
Went to get my phone fixed. Had the pleasure of meeting the technician by the name of Briannah. I freaking love her customer service and her energy. Would definitely recommend they services.
This was legit the best customer service I ever had. Mike and Briannah were amazing and the price was right up my ally as a broke college student. I payed through cashapp, they picked up my laptop and brought it back within a day. If you want good, quick and affordable service, do yourself a favor and go here!! Thank you!!!(:
5 seconds is all it took Mike to respond on Facebook.I swore my Samsung Galaxy S9+ was doomed. It was doing all sorts of strange things I have never seen or heard of before. He to told me BRIANA would know how to fix it. I was thinking to myself I hope. She told me she has ran into to the uncommon problem many many times. It only took her 5 minutes to fix it. The price was awesome. I trust them very much. I will only go to Mike and Briana from now on.
Mike was great! Very professional, efficient and extremely knowledgeable. Got all our issues solved and running smoothly, super fast!
Very quick to respond. Very helpful and cost effective. Will definitely hire him again!
Known Bri since high school and she’s still as dope as I remember. Fixed both computers in a day and super reasonable pricing. My laptops have been out commission for a long time and I literally couldn’t think of anyone that could fix them and rest the one that was completely done for. Found out from her Facebook page that she does computer work and thankfully she was able to do exactly what I needed done, effortlessly and quick!! Thank you sooooo much!!
Brianna and Mike are the best and professional computer service team. I am very satisfied with there service.
Michael and Briannah are true professionals. The video slideshow they did for my son’s 50th was beautiful. Very diligent and accommodating.
I have had the pleasure of working with Michael Goodman from Computer Service Specialists of New York. He has provided me with valuable insight on websites and marketing for my company. I highly recommend Michael for any IT and or related services.
I am writing a review for my and and husbands company. My son has been working on computers since he was about 10 years old and is now 36. We are so proud of him. He has been in business for 18+ years now and I have never heard a negative thing about the work that he is done. Yes he is my son, but with all biased removed I will never use anyone else! :)
Mike was Awesome very professional on time friendly knows his work with the computers I’m glad I found him on the internet I had a few people come out and they didn’t do the job I was looking for but Mike the computer guy did I will recommend him to a few of my business friends for there companies.
First class service, reliable, and very well priced. I would highly recommend to anyone who needs IT support for their business or computer repair service needs!
Love these two Mike and bri are so amazing and hard working very professional
Bri is absolutely amazing and went above and beyond! She kept in touch during the whole process and my lap top was fixed in no time at all!
Excellent service. Fast and reliable. Mike was a pleasure to work with. I would leave 10 stars if I could.
This company is the best Ive ever worked with really tried hard to find a solution for my failed hard drive and wasnt trying to just charge me for every little step.If you have a computer related problem try them first you wont regret it tell em weshootfilms sent you lol.
CSS has done all my website work, online marketing for my business, computer installations, repair work, security video camera installations, backup management, and supplies my company with all our laptops, computers and servers. They have always done an excellent job and I will continue to use them and recommend them to anyone that needs any computer work done for their home or business.
Briannah was the only person I could find in Rochester that was willing and able to fix my dads iPod classic. It was too old or techs couldnt do it everywhere else. She did. Not only did she repair internal parts, she made sure to give us a loaner while we waited. Brilliant Repairs/Briannah is the go to for all electronics- she never gives up, finds the best way, and always points you in the right direction even if its not having her do the repair- she cares.
Over the years I’ve had numerous electronics from iPhones to laptops, TV’s and game systems that have been repaired as well as rebuilt by Briannah. She has exceeded my expectations with her work and I’m so grateful for how helpful and knowledgeable she is in her craft. Briannah/Brilliant repairs will always be my go-to!
Briannah has fixed every i - pod, tablet, phone, tv, gaming system, basically every electronic i have EVER owned 5 stars it is for me 🤩
Amazing service . Cheap / reliable / and amazing work. My computer had 6 viruses and they fixed every problem I had . If I could give a 10 star I would .
Fast turnaround, solved my problem computer is running mint! Highly recommend!
Did awesome work on my computer, and he even cleaned my computer to make it brand new.
CSS always has solutions that are simpler than expected. They have expertise in a broad range of technologies from repairing phones and computers to extensive installions of complex networking. Its your one stop technology center for all your needs.
Excellent, Excellent customer service..Great pricing, took no time at all...Ill always pay top dollar for excellent customer service..its very hard to find these days!! Thanks to the team!
They setup our WiFi internet with our new tablet. The tech was very patient and everything ended up working perfectly. I would definitely would recommend to anyone who needs a good computer company that you can trust to do a good job
Extremely professional, very responsive, friendly and well priced. Will continue to use for all of my computer support services.
Mike is help me out alot with computer service for my father and mine tablet and computer. I recommend im very much and does a really far prices
While initially I was off put, once I met with Briannah and she explained about their new location, and was prompt to help me with my PCs issues and got it back to me within a day.
Has done service for me many times, from simple software issues to replacing hardware along with many miscilanaious problems. Clearly has many years of experience and never have had a problem that they couldnt fix. Strongly recommended for any problem you can possibly have. Very fairy service and very professional.
Great service and dedication. They went above and beyond.
I brought my broken Bluetooth speaker headphones to Mike. My daughter ripped one of the retractable speakers and it broke. By the end of the day Mike had gotten me a brand new pair of headphones for lower than what it would have cost to fix. Raving fan! Will continue to bring my products to him! Thanks again
I recently bought a pc and there was an issue when starting the computer I then called CSS and they were able to come to my home within a few hours and Indentify the problem CSS have professional quality service and they will be my go to company to call if I ever have any computer problems
CSS answered all of our questions and resolved all of our issues. Very professional, I would highly recommend to everyone A++++
They know their stuff and work through all issues that may prop up, including helping you find alternative methods of fixing or replacing your equipment if the issue is out of their scope. Ill keep their contacts for any who ask.
My ex pitched my laptop out the second story window, and even after I found it after weeks in a snow bank, Bri saved it. A miracle!
