Selectronics

I was full of optimism when I dropped off my buggy laptop for repair. The next day the computer man, whose accent I had difficult parsing through, told me that I needed a new hard drive instead of virus removal. A $ 50 fix had become a $ 150 overhaul. Okay, said I. Several days later, the computer repairman told me in a garbled voice message that, basically, he couldn’t fix my computer and that I was to come and pick it up. Needless to say, a computer repair operation that can not fix (let alone diagnose) computer problems is not a place I want to waste my time (nearly a week). Obviously I will not return to this place. My computer problem was neither fixed nor diagnosed. It was weird. «Come get your computer. I can’t fix it.» It was inferred that perhaps it could be fixable, just not by them. Apparently, as their moniker would suggest, Selectronics is very ‘selective’ about their competencies, and I certainly don’t intend to return, sadly.

Awesome! Not only did the computer guy give me a great deal on a used charger, he didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need and was totally honest. Definitely coming back here!
