Reviews of Boise Computer Store (Computer Repair)

Annie Berglund

Really friendly, helpful and the price was right. Fixed my computer quickly and it is working like a champ now. I would highly recommend Boise Computer Store for computer repairs.

Mariah Alane

Fantastic service - my laptop got wet and I was worried about my data. I had hundreds of family photos, videos and important research data stored on it. I was worried it was all gone, Steve was able to recover everything and put it on a new laptop very quickly. Pricing was reasonable, I'm very satisfied. Definitely a go-to for any computer repairs!

Ruth Merrill

I went expecting to be told I needed a new computer and a day later, the computer was running as good as new. Very knowledgeable, he taught me about hard drives. The price for repair was very reasonable

Chris Wylie

I have found Steve, the owner, to be very helpful and generous. His rates are very reasonable and he has helped both my wife and I recover our computers when we were in a crisis. If you just need to order parts, sure its cheaper to do it online. However, if you need real help from a real person I can highly recommend Steve at Boise Computer Store.

Don Dickinson

Nice staff and had a part I needed last minute for someone. Great place to take repairs

Been trying to figure out a computer issue for over a month and I took it to Boise Computer Store and he did it in one afternoon even stayed open late to allow me to pick it up same day.

Great guy, great work ethic and super easy going...would recommend 10 out of 10 times.

Lonnie Belieu

Steve is great and very knowledgeable at what he does. He is the only one that I will take my computer to in the Treasure Valley. Very good prices. I would recommend him any day of the week. Thanks, Steve!!!

B Demars

I have found this establishment to be professional, efficient, and very friendly. They follow my instructions, but also seek to find solutions for me that I haven’t thought of. This is the place I will turn to when I need to install new hardware, make repairs, or just seek advice about my computer inventory. I would highly recommend them.

Glenn Lyons

Steven was/is highly qualified, competent & simply the best for our Windows based laptops and desktop service problem issues; windows 10 sucks at times & Steven has adroitly navigated through some problematic post-update issues. Fairly priced and clear explanations for a barely IT savvy person . Highly recommend.

Judy Kienzle

Excellent, trustworthy service! I took my old laptop in for some specific work with a program. He coordinated with another service tech, fixed the issue, installed a new hard drive (cloned it) and now everything is working really well! I highly recommend him! Thanks again, Steve!

Grace Ocker

This place is AMAZING!!! Went into the store with 45 minutes till close and the owner was still willing to help us with our computer issues. We had been locked out of the computer due to being in safe mode and not knowing the password. He went in and helped us not only get out of safe mode but also took care of the viruses that had gotten on our computer. He was super nice, super knowledgeable, and super helpful. He saved our computer and helped us 30 minutes past close. Not only that, he was about to do this service for us FOR FREE. We weren't going to let him do that so we gave him some money for his time, effort, and customer service. This is now our go to computer shop!!

Donna Savage

Steve did a great job repairing our computer. He did it quickly at a great price. I would recommend you give him a call. It was a pleasant transaction.

Amel Veltri

Steven really knows his stuff and is one of the most knowledgeable people in the area I've met and I work as a computer technician so I meet a LOT of them. Have doubts about a PC? Bring it to steven, he is a man of his word and he won't try to take money from you. If your PC is beyond help, he will tell you that and then help you get what you need. He went do some "fix" that he knows will not work or will barely make it faster to make money.

Steven DeClercq

Steven was very kind and cooperative. Helped me get just what I needed

Roger Hohle

Professional, knowledgeable, and fast service. No hype, accurate estimates both technical and time to completion. Very reasonable prices. Of the dozens of people in this profession I have met over the years, Steve is the most competent. qualified, and personable.

Steve Blake

Steve at Boise Computer Store really impressed me with his helpfulness when I went into his new Fairview office store last Saturday. It’s been a bunch of years since I ran a repair bench service myself, so I know how urgent repairs can be for some people, especially professionals like me who need their computer fixed ASAP. Steve was relaxed and helpful, and affordable! He immediately helped me. On a Saturday afternoon, a couple hours after dropping the PC off, he phoned and said it was ready. He charged me a fair price, I gave him a tip. I highly recommend Steve at Boise Computer Store.

Stan I

I have used Boise Computer Store for 4 years and have never been disappointed in the results. This time another company's online tech (I live an over an hour from town, so I was hoping not to have to take it in) turned a minor issue on my computer into it not booting up at all. Boise Computer Store installed a new drive, backed up and restored all my data, reinstalled drivers, etc for an very reasonable price. They even replaced my power supply and non-working DVD drive and only charged for the parts with no additional labor. It's refreshing to find a business that has good, old fashioned service!!!!!

Steve is amazing. He is passionate about his work and does a great job. He wants to help his customers. Rare these days. Highly recomend.

Steve does an excellent job! We use him for both our business and home computers and networks. His rates are killer and he knows what he's doing.

@Stephanie Craig: Google is not allowing Boise Computer Store to reply to this review because the review was placed under an old, inactive business account. Fun fact there are actually 3 Boise Computer Store business accounts, only one of which is actually being managed, so this is the only way I can respond to you. It looks like you edited your post since yesterday, so I know you received my voice mail, but you still won't call and talk to me about it, and you're still not telling the truth. Yesterday Stephanie's review said that she had the original hard drive replacement done LESS than a year before it went bad. You also said we charged you $120. On top of that you completely changed your wording about your touch pad. I really don't know why you felt it necessary to fabricate lies in order to maliciously attack my store, but I will put the record straight: One year and 8 months ago...that would be 20 months. We replaced a bad hard drive on your lime green Dell laptop. At that time, it was noted that your touchpad was going bad and was very unresponsive. We suggested you use a USB mouse and you'd noted that you were aware of the problem, even back then. Boise Computer Store puts a one year parts and service warranty on new hard drive replacements. I haven't checked around town, but I bet that's more than, or equal to, anyone else in town. No matter what way you look at it, 20 months is not less than one year. When you brought your Dell laptop in for service again just recently, you said it wasn't detecting the OS and that it had been dropped, well sure enough, you managed to break your laptop again. I spoke with you or your husband Mike about the direction we could go with the repair, since the hard drive itself was still under Manufacturer's warranty through Seagate (note, there's a difference between my shop's warranty, and an actual manufacturer's warranty, but all this was explained to you in detail and you were very agreeable with the repair.) We RMA'd the failed hard drive back to the manufacturer at $11.95 total for shipping both ways. I received the replacement hard drive, installed it, loaded your operating system, installed the device drivers, updated the operating system, installed some basic software such as flashplayer, pdf reader, antivirus, and office software. Did a few tweaks on the system to make it run a bit better, and you came to pick it up. Normally, our operating system setup service is $89.99, had it still been under my shop's service warranty, you wouldn't have paid anything, but since it was 8 months out of our warranty, the bill was $101.94 which covered shipping and service, you didn't even have to buy a brand new hard drive, because I checked to see if it was still under manufacturer's warranty, which is was, and I passed that along to you. When you came in to pick it up, I'd noted that I taped up the exposed wires on your AC adapter, you said that yeah, it had gotten pulled out. I noted that your battery wasn't charging, you said that yeah, it's been bad for awhile. I noted that your touch pad wasn't working, you said yeah, it's been like that. I also noted that the plastic around the hinges on the laptop were cracked and you should be gentle when opening and closing it. You seemed good with everything. I rang up the total and you said that I'd told your husband Mike that it would be less than $100, well I probably said around $100, there's a difference, but either way, I knocked off $10 from the service charge bringing the total down to $91.94. This seemed to make you happy. Then you asked if I wanted to buy the laptop from you, I said no thanks, perhaps that's what made you mad and set you off on this malicious attack of lies. I don't know because you won't communicate. Based off your original, unedited review, you said we replaced the hard drive less than a year ago. Maybe you had lime green dell laptop confused with your black Toshiba, which we replaced the hard drive on in November 2014. The Toshiba would have still been under warranty, but the Dell was repaired January 2014

Great place with great service. Steve is very educated with computers and was able to fix mine in just a day. Very affordable as well.

John Barrie

Steve was able to quickly discover what was wrong with my computer, and his rates are reasonable. When he discovered additional small issues with my PC, he took care of them but he didn't change his rate for the additional labor. I had my machine back within a day, running better than it has in years, and I couldn't be happier. I only wish he was also an Apple guy so I could bring my wife's computer there, but he happily referred me to another local business to address her needs. Will go here for any PC issues in the future.

Stephanie Craig

A review much like the others. Purchased a brand new hard drive that failed within 18 months. It had a two year warranty, so I took my laptop back. Boise Computer Store told me that it was under warranty, so no problem. When I went back a few days later to pick up my computer, the bill was $100. So,.... how is that under warranty? l should have known better, since my computer came back the first time with the touch pad not working and the cursor jumping around the screen while I'm typing. Boise computer stores response that time? "Oh, it must have been broken before." PLEASE DON'T EVER TAKE YOUR COMPUTER OR LAPTOP TOP TO BOISE COMPUTER STORE FOR REPAIR!!!!

Curtis Pogue

We’re a small company with limited IT capability and have been searching for a company that can get done what we actually need done. Honest ideas of what is right for us, great prices, and quick turnaround.

Pat Rutledge

Steve is GREAT!!!!

Jen Ma

Steve knows his stuff and gives it to you straight. When I was having issues with my tower, he patiently explained things to me in simple terms and quoted me a reasonable rate. Thanks!

Kent Mortensen

I have been doing business with Steve for several years now. Bought a custom built computer for doing CAD drawings. Its the best computer I have ever had. When I do need to have it cleaned up or something added he has been very reasonable with price and getting it done quickly so I can get back to work. Thanks Steve.

I went in to get my computer fixed a few days ago. The customer service is top notch and the prices are very reasonable! And my computer is 100% fixed. Steve also took the time to discuss other issues and explain them thourghly. i highly recommend this place for all your computer needs!

Alan Stevens

Steve is the MAN! Had an issue that I was going to send my laptop back to the manufacturer and he helped me fix the problem, upgrade the hardware and software and did a full backup and he even helped me learn what was going on. He did all this in less time than it would have taken to send it to the manufacturer let alone the time to get it fixed there.

Wayne Hawley

Friendly an great price for the work offered, will do business again!!

Callahan Burns

Great work and great price very knowledgeable highly recommend

Ben Schoeffler

Steve is freaking awesome. I first discovered him when a power supply in my desktop went bad. He sold me a replacement which is exactly what I needed. I then took my girlfriend's old laptop in for a tuneup. Before I did you couldn't even use it because it was so slow, afterwards it was quite speedy! What inspired me to write this review is what Steve just recently did. I took in my dead desktop and I asked what he could do to fix it up. My computer is 90% of my business and so to have it out of commission was incredibly stressful. Not only that I didn't have a ton of money to spend on a new computer. Steve diagnosed the problem, checked the hardware, replaced my video card, and removed lots of viruses/malware. He did all of this for a very, very, reasonable fee. I'm VERY impressed. After talking to him you can tell he knows his stuff. I'm glad to have a resource like him in Boise. I would highly recommend him to anyone with computer problems, or anyone that wants an expert to build them a computer. 5 stars all the way.

Steve is a great person and an honest business man! He fixed something for me for $25 that another local company had quoted me $800+ to fix. Thank you SO much!
