Excellent service. I needed to replace the battery and charging port for my Lenovo laptop. Communication was excellent, I received prompt replies to my questions. Jakub is knowledgeable and a hard worker. He arranged a super quick shipment of genuine replacement parts and once they arrived, he did the whole repair within the hour. A true life saver. He even gave me advice regarding laptop security.

Absolutely fantastic service. We have got a broken screen monitor, Jakub got it working again with 24 hours after we drop it. He managed to locate the faulty components and replace them with good price. Very satisfied with the service, and highly recommended.

Jacob did an absolutely amazing job on my laptop. The CPU was overheating quite a lot and he managed to diagnose the problem and fix the issues in little to no time, and for a very reasonable price. Now the temperatures seem as low as ever and I could not be happier with it.

Jacob did a great job diagnosing and fixing my laptop in short order. He replaced my hard drive with a newer SSD for a reasonable price. Communicative and straightforward as to how much the price of services and the new component would cost.

Trustworthy and efficient Lately I had a problem with my Microsoft Surface Laptop 4. I gave it to 'we make IT happen', I was very happy with the way it was handled. I was given periodic updates on the progress of the troubleshooting ( it was a motherboard problem). Then once the faulty component was found I had the choice to go ahead with the repair or to get my machine back (given the expensive cost of the part). I highly recommend this company and would use their IT services again. Thank you Jacob and Youssef.

Came here for my company to get two quotes. The customer service was far more than I was originally expecting for two divices I only asked quotes for. Came back very promptly with good detail to information and provided very reasonable prices. Fixed just as promptly and been shown proof of repair and will be collecting this week.

I am exceptionally pleased to have found this company. I initially asked for a quote to fix a laptop charging port. The response and information provided by the company was not only quick but detailed. When they had my laptop they suggested upgrades In order to provide longevity- again I was very impressed as I knew it needed more ram as it was an older laptop. Turnaround time from drop off to completion was quick - 5 days, I now have a fully functioning laptop with upgraded ram and SSD! Absolutely thrilled. No problems since- it's been 2 weeks of daily use. Pricing is highly competitive. I would highly recommend this company and will always use them in the future. A++

First time I have used this very friendly and professional service. My broken lap top screen was replaced and the new one fitted in record time. I was guided through the whole process with clear explanations of options and costs without any sales pressure. It was plain that Jakub has much technical and engineering experience which he is keen to share with people to help improve their computer use. I would thoroughly recommend this service to others.

Jacob was extremely helpful. I spilled juice on my laptop and he could brought it to life and recovered my data. I contacted him on Sunday night and his work was done by Tuesday. He was very honest with his diagnosis and gave options of what I could do.

Excellent service from JZ at WMIH. Resurrected our 3 very old laptops to pristine condition by upgrading OS, RAM and HDs. Well worth it, old does not mean junk!
