Tringcomputerrepairs Reviews 17

This fraudster has a County Court Judgment for wrecking a laptop and not refunding monies taken.
He reckons he can challenge it - he can't! So now we will go back to the Courts for further action.
The weasel thinks he can get away with fraud but justice will prevail!
Avoid at all costs

MacBook screen damaged, took to Tring Computer repair, given price for screen and replacement, very competitive, picked up laptop 3 days later, great service, Thank you

Firstly look at the dates on his positive reviews, over almost 2 years of reviews (and 4 yrs business) the 9 positive reviews have all been submitted on just 4 days ( 5 of the positive reviews were all submitted on the same day 23rdApril, with another on 24th April and another 26th April), looks suspiciously like fake reviews all done by one person on a weekend.
I took two laptops to be fixed at the same time. The first one had a broken charging port pin, I know it was broken because it had snapped of and I had it my hand to show him when I gave him the laptop. He stated it was a quick and easy job to repair, then after 3 weeks he told me it wasn’t the charging port that was the problem as he had replaced it and it still wouldn’t power up, he claimed it must have been the battery, despite me showing him the broken charging pin. Not believing his claim I took the laptop back off him and sent of to PC World repair service. They told me the charging port had been installed upside down and this had then caused both the battery damage but also caused CPU damage. They charged me £280 to repair damage they say was clearly caused by faulting fitting of the charging port. He has then claimed Curry staff are not trained or qualified and don’t know what they are talking about. When asked for his training he stated some Microsoft course, which turns out to be a software course not hardware.
The second laptop needed a keyboard replaced, when I picked it up, the keyboard he had fitted did not fit the laptop base, he had installed a completely different keyboard that I then had to hold on with masking tape. He stated he would order a base to fit the wrong keyboard, but that would still not fit the screen, not to actually fit a correct fitting keyboard, that has now cost me another £160 to repair.
So that’s £440 spent repairing damage and poor work he has done and charged me £200 up front for, despite his website claims on refunds he will not offer refund for his work or payment for damage he caused.
There are similar horror stories on other review sites, do not trust him do do any hardware repairs, you will pay to undo all his damage.

Very responsive, knowledgeable and solved the problems. No hesitation to recommend.

Efficient , reliable and pleasant to deal with .

Did a fine job - many thanks!

Friendly, helpful Cletus has saved me a lot of money by working his magic on my old Mac - when I was sure it was terminally sick!

Great job. Lovely man.

Very prompt and efficient service. I am extremely happy with the service and would highly recommend Tring Computer repairs.

Friendly efficient service. Highly recommended.

Cletus is efficient, congenial and conscientious. He thinks carefully about how to resolve problems and, in my experience, has always come up with the right solutions. His knowledge about computers is impressive and his approach thorough. He also charges very reasonable rates. I recommend him highly.

One star is way too much for the worst service you can get. Before giving him a job ask him to show you his workplace and I guarantee you will change your mind very quickly (I wish I did it first). I lost almost £600 because of that guy. Hes got no clue what he is doing. VERY sloppy and dishonest person. Instead of repairing my power jack (he said its very easy job) he burned the processor and couple other components with soldering gun. He was holding my laptop for 5 months. In the meantime he made many excuses and lied to me several times just to finally admit that he was not honest with me and had no skills, nor equipment to establish what he broke, therefore repair it. He promised to send the laptop to a professional service on his cost and assured me that he did it. When after couple more weeks of waiting I contacted the mentioned service it turned to be just another of his lies. He explained himself that he was broke and had no money to send my laptop elsewhere. Later 2 different repair shops send back the laptop because they were not able to fix what he broke. They described the damages as severe and his job as very sloppy. When after months I finally got my laptop repaired by the original service and presented him the bill he said he will not pay me back the money for what HE damaged. I asked officials to step in. He is not responding anymore. By the way: the only positive reviews are from his wife's account. Do NOT trust this guy.
