I brought my computer in for a damaged charging port and received it back two days later. The turn around was very fast and the gentleman who helped me was very professional.

911 Tech is my "go to" for computer and phone related issues. I have nothing but good things to say about 911 Tech. I have had a new hard drive installed and recently had work done to reinstall iTunes on my computer. This was essential as a music professional. They are efficient, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend 911 Tech.
Annette M.
I am very thankful to Frank at 911 Tech for his knowledge, service, and superior professionalism with fixing our cell phones and most recently a MacBook Pro laptop. With his assistance, I am able to use my laptop again, hopefully for many more years. He charged a fair, affordable price and saved us $2000+ because we did not need to buy another laptop. We happily recommend Frank to you for all you cell phone and computer repair needs.

I recently brought 2 systems in for hardware repair and a windows update and was very happy with the results. The first system was a high end PC laptop that had a snapped hinged. They were able to source all the parts and get me running for an affordable price. I was very happy with the quality of work on my laptop. I also brought in a desktop PC that other places said couldn't be upgrade from windows 10 to 11. They were able to get me up and running with a fresh install of windows 11 and now I don't have to buy a new PC. It still has plenty of life left. Thank you!

I brought my computer in after it was compromised by a phishing attack. He was able to very quickly restore my device from a known good backup. I brought it in shortly before closing and had it back before 1pm the following day. He advised me sticking with an older operating system is not the best idea, but he assisted me in keeping that OS when I insisted.

Took my MacBook in for water damage repair after trying other places. The store owner was very friendly and helpful and was able to repair for a fraction of what Apple would have quoted me. My MacBook looks brand new and works well.

I brought my mother's old tower computer to 911 Tech Repair when it was dead as a door nail. She is 88 years old and has vision issues. I asked Frank if he could bring it back to life for her and he gave me a dire assessment of its health after he took a look at it. I thought it was a goner, but he told me that it could be repaired. In the end, he replaced the mother board, CPU, and power supply and was able to get it back in her apartment and working perfectly once again. The topper is that the price was so reasonable too! Thank you 991 Tech Repair and Frank, my mother was overjoyed to have her computer back up and running!

Incredible people, within all of the parts getting there, it took a day to get my broken computer back, it needed a full case, Motherboard and Power supply swap. Charges cheap, no reason to go to someone else. Only complaint is I didn’t find out sooner.
Lina D.
911 tech repair was super helpful and got my pc repaired/partially rebuilt for me quicker than expected. Would recommend bringing any computers here they are very knowledgeable and friendly.
Jim L.
I have used this service for several different PC and laptop issues over the last several years. Wedge, the operator and tech, is business-like, explains processes clearly, and keeps customers updated on their repair processes. Pricing seems fair, and their repairs work.
Judy M.
Very nice people to help and shows what to do. They are the best. I myself is not a smart with all this computer language and data. Thank you for helping.
JJ
Prompt service, quick turnaround, reasonable rates and prices, expertise and professionalism, that's been my experience every time. Very honest and informative about repairs and explaining pro's and con's. Had 2 Macbook airs repaired,and bought a used one as well.Only place in Lake county I'd ever go to. Highly recommend.
Jenna Eve C.
Highly recommend this business! I came in because my phone would not hold a charge and I expected best case scenario I would need to pay to replace the battery. Instead, the guy who helped me showed me how both of the chargers I was using were burned out and they were the problem not my phone. He also taught me about chargers and what to look out for and gave me brand recommendations to replace it. I didn't end up needing to buy anything or pay to have anything repaired or replaced because I had charger at home that still worked. I don't know a lot about phones or tech in general, but I need my phone to get into my work computer for the double authentication. His honesty and helpfulness was outstanding and I will definitely come back here in the future

My 911 Tech Repair experience was amazing. I brought in an iPhone gifted to me and I wanted to have a new battery installed and also to make certain it was in decent shape before I switched my number to it. The tech guy was extremely helpful, honest, & educated this not so tech savvy gal with what to expect with this phone since I was upgrading from an iPhone 8. Service was excellent, quick, & now I’m enjoying my “new” phone as I’m writing this review. I highly recommend 911 Tech Repair for all your computer/tech needs!
Mikayla B.
My boyfriend and I took both of our MacBooks in to get repaired. The guy who helped us was incredibly kind and took the time to explain how everything worked! They also had great pricing for the repairs we needed!

My HP Color LaserJet printer required service due to a persistent paper‑jam error code. Wedge at 911 Tech Repair explained that he would diagnose the issue and follow up within a few hours. He later called to report that there was no residual paper in the machine, but the error code suggested a potential sensor defect. Wedge continued troubleshooting and ultimately determined that the sensor had been damaged and that the replacement part is no longer available. Although I was disappointed by the outcome, I felt confident that an expert had thoroughly diagnosed the problem and communicated with me in a professional and timely manner.

I’ve been coming here for tech needs for a few years now, and I keep coming back. Whether it’s phones or laptops or even just general tech questions, they have the solution. Always fast, always high quality work, and often coming in under the quoted price. Plus, you gotta love a tech guy named after Cpt. Antilles!
