Extremely high quality and fair service. After failing to resolve my issue at Geek Squad, I call B4Computers. The owner picked up immediately, listened as I explained my situation, then was able to fix the problem same day in less than three hours. Highly recommended this group, and will be using many times again!

I don't like posting reviews on companies I didnt receive a full service from but my experience was so unprofessional I have to. I inquired with this store due to all the good reviews but was sorely shocked at the customer service. Extremely rude and patronizing. Demands I bring him a $150 deposit in cash before even looking at the computer and when asked why gave a nasty reply. The attitude was so sour I unfortunately had to look elsewhere.

My laptop screen was completely cracked. I contacted Lu and it was very easy for him to find out the exact screen I needed to replace it. He did the research for me and sent me a link. I ordered it and as soon as it came in the mail I was able to schedule an appointment that same day to get it repaired. Not only was I able to get it repaired the same day, I also was able to pick it up the same day.
He's fast and efficient and great on communication. You do have to pay in cash but hey, every business has there preference. I totally recommend him! My computer feels and looks brand new again!

Awesome work and would highly recommend! The guy/(owner?) is a bit gruff/blunt on the phone but he was able to meet on short notice. He took my 8 year old MacBook, which wasn't taking a charge, spent about 30 minutes with it, and discovered a slightly damaged part in the charging unit. Then, being considerate of the fact that I was frantically trying to resurrect my laptop for a late afternoon video call and didn't have time to wait several days for a replacement part, he used a special kind of tape to kinda jury rig the damaged part back into place.
And it works! I've had my MacBook repaired at the Apple store a few times and they always require at least a few days for repair work. And I'm not sure that they would be willing to use tape as a quick fix when I was in desperate need of a quick fix. This guy/owner (I feel bad for not getting his name!) went way above and beyond and totally worth the $75!

B4 Computers is a great service! I had a problem installing a new cooler in my custom built gaming PC. My computer wouldn't turn on. I called Ludovik the next day and asked if he could come to take a look and see if he could fix it. He said he could and a few hours later he showed up at my apartment and immediately came in and took a look at the computer.
After three hours, and basically rebuilding my PC one part at a time to make sure everything worked, my PC was alive again. Ludovik was incredibly helpful and let me know everything he was doing. This was incredibly helpful as I will keep this knowledge forever. Not to mention, his prices are great!

Wow. Can't say enough about B4 Computers. I've had my computer repaired twice from B4. The most recent occurrence came after another place was unresponsive and unreliable, resulting in calling B4 to see if they would b able to assist. Thankfully, B4 was able to repair my computer in less than a day. Not only were they quick to turn around but they were responsive, professional and reasonable. If you need your computer repaired, definitely check this place out- highly recommend!

My review is for service I received over the phone that caused me to bring my laptop somewhere else. I felt the guy on the phone was being rude to me because I sounded like a young woman. I like my laptop repairs without a side of sexism, thanks. My laptop had water damage and the guy was suggesting I bring it in to be cleaned and then maybe it would work - $150 either way.
I asked if the alcohol swabbing was the type of thing I could do myself and this is what set the guy off - he kept telling me "not to dump alcohol on my computer". I really felt like he wouldn't have responded this way to an older male asking him the same question. He kept going on and on, ridiculing me for thinking I could do such a thing. I've seen friends set up their own computers and I'm generally handy so I thought maybe I can do it myself, I've been able to do a lot of things on my own at my business that I thought I needed a professional for.
I called back a few days later thinking I might still bring my laptop to him but when he realized it was me, he goes "so you didn't dump alcohol all over your laptop?" Again, I really thought he wouldn't speak that way to another male. I ended up bringing my laptop to Geek Shop near Borough Hall and the guy was super nice - advised against cleaning saying it almost never works. I'm glad I went somewhere else, otherwise sexist guy would have my $150 for no reason.

Spilled hot tea on my MacBook Pro laptop(2011). Took it to Ludovik (@ aforementioned garment store) who assessed $150 for a cleaning of the computer's internal components. I was skeptical that the computer could be repaired. Other shops quoted me at $300 for a similar cleaning so I went w/ Ludovik. After 2 days he informed me I needed to replace the MagSafe board for $50.
Again I was skeptical since the computer wasn't fully diagnosed and I didn't know if I was going to replace every component. And I needed my computer back fast. The looming cost of replacing the logic board and keyboard could have been an extra few hundred dollars. But I agreed. The next day the computer was repaired, all components in working order.
Total cost: $200 Time: 3 days from drop-off. My impression: Ludovik is knowledgable, honest, practical, and quick. No repair job is a guarantee, but I don't mind supporting a small business that does good work.

If you need fast reliable help with a laptop that is not working, this is the place to go. I initially called to ask about the service, Ludovik asked me some questions in the phone and immediately identified the problem. He was willing to work as soon as possible and solved my problem within a couple of hours. Great service with great location in Tribeca.

Ludovik fixed my computer when nobody else -- including Best Buy, the Geek Squad, and other professional technology repair places -- had a clue what to do. He was polite, intelligent, very fast, and affordable. I was always informed about my choices and I trusted that I was never being taken advantage of. All in all I had a fantastic experience. I'd recommend to anyone and everyone. Don't be put off by the "homely" vibe. Yes, it's a drop-off in a clothing store in TriBeCa. Yes, I only communicated with Ludovik over the phone, text, and email. Yes, it was a cash-only exchange.
That said, I simply can't overstate the quality, speed, affordability, and overall ease of B4Computers. This laptop of mine has made the rounds to professionals for half a year, and Ludovik was the first one to say "I can fix this" instead of "No idea, sorry." I also have some family experience with IT and, though they couldn't help me out, they confirmed that these prices were completely fair.

Decided to take the computer into the kitchen to follow a recipe. Big mistake/spill! Happy ending to the story, meal was really good. Computer diagnosed and fixed and posting reviews. I am very happy to recommend this company and if you ever have an issue with your computer, you will not be ripped off.

Down-home honest, quick service with a smile which makes you feel like you've won the lottery for scoring the best secret in town! Let's face it -- in this city, it's all in who you know, and Ludovik is that guy! Because when your computer is compromised, you will relish the warm fuzzy you get from knowing your digital life & data has never been in more trustworthy and knowledgeable hands.
If you have a penchant for old New York, aka "hole in the wall" types of treasures, B4Computers is your destination for keeping your computer, laptop and all devices in healthy working order. I've never had a virus in my lifetime of owning Macs, but somehow my 10-year-old found a way to introduce my MacBook Pro to untold breaches in network security.
The panic I felt in having all my personal and confidential information (SSN, financials, passwords, identity) being open to any hacker and pirate of the internets and world-wide webs left me panicked and chilled to the bone. As a word-of-mouth referral, I found Ludovik, and I have never been more relieved. and now with my laptop restored and newly protected, I cannot recommend his services enough -- although, for your sake, I hope you never have to know that fear! But if you do, get yourself to B4Computers asap, and Ludovik will have things worked out lickety-split!

B4 computers is, by far, the best service I have used. I was referred to them by word of mouth. I had a NASTY virus that shut my system down a day before a huge deadline. I was panicked and looking for another computer that I could not afford. b4 came onsite and fixed my computer in less than 2 hours. It is fully operational. I HIGHLY recommend using this company and their expertise and technical savvy is amazing. And they have good bedside manner (I was freaking out!). You won't be sorry!

To build a safer city, I strongly believe Major de Blasio should build a new city department for computer emergency, so that there will be much less yelling, crying, cat-kicking crazy people angered by paralyzed computers hanging around. If so, I highly recommend Ludovik from B4Computers to be the head of this new department, because his service is as forceful as NYPD and as prompt as FDNY.
More importantly, he has such a good heart to have the priority as helping people, not as making money. I found B4Computers online because my laptop recently stopped connecting to the internet. When I walked in, my only hope was to have my laptop fixed as soon as possible. When I walked out after 1.5 hours, I not only had the trouble virus removed, but also had a new upgrade of antivirus software, an update of network configuration, removal of some concerned internet setting, and the installation of a new system to monitor my computer.
What a deal! I am so grateful for Ludovik's help, as well as he explained everything in detail and answered my questions patiently. After finding out a tech guru as Ludovik, now I feel more secure living in this city!

I found B4Computers via Yelp and am extremely pleased with their prompt turnaround, good communication and fair prices. Somehow, the WiFi on my laptop died. B4 quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it. B4 is a drop-off spot within a cheap clothing store on a side street just south of Chambers. The store seemed a bit sketchy at first, but I took a leap of faith and left my laptop.
The computer staff was not present at the store. The clothing store clerk put the owner on the phone, and I was able to tell him the problem I had. The owner was at the store last year when I had a problem with another laptop that died and was beyond repair. The lack of Manhattan rental overhead costs is reflected in the pricing of the repair services. Cash only.

Found B4Computers by chance, and they saved me and my Wednesday morning presentation. Last Monday morning before work, my hard drive crashed. Fail. It was essential to try to recover my documents, but I didn't have time myself. I came across B4Computers while driving to work. I crossed my fingers and bid farewell to my blue screen. Later that morning, B4 called.
I assumed the message would sound like the usual repair shop saying, "we found the problem (for $90), would you like it fixed (for $350)?". Not at all. Instead, they informed me that the transfer was in process and after work, I could pick up my computer and an external hard drive with my recovered documents. Professional. Polite. Successful.
