Provided by YP.com(for the record, this is my first Google review but this place is so bad I didn't want others to go through the same experience) This is one of the worst experiences I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and don't do business at PC Techman unless you want to support a racist creep. This was absolutely ridiculous. Please read this review if you want the honest truth about my HORRIBLE experience at PC Techman. In short, he did not even fix the problem while trying to make me pay and went through my personal photos.This place is unprofessional and fraudulent. First of all, I spilled a small amount of water on my laptop. I was cleaning out the inside and accidentally got a cotton swab stuck in my headphone jack. So, I started looking for a reputable place in Gainesville where I could get the cotton swab removed from my headphone jack. I took it to PC Techman. Angel tells me it will cost $59 to repair and will be ready by Monday. Fine. I asked if he was BBB credited to which he explains to me that it's a fraud and goes on to say that every bad review online was done by his old boss at Impact Computers and starts talking badly of his costumers and making racists comments toward "Chinese kids" who bring him their laptops. This was a major red flag to me but I needed my computer fixed promptly and did not know where else to take it other than Best Buy so I left my computer. My friend (who also brought his laptop to be looked at) was told that his 2011 Macbook was completely ruined because of a bad battery and was only worth about $80 retail. (Gazelle is offering him over $250). Angel then goes on to unscrew the back of his Macbook and ends up stripping one of the screws which we didn't notice until we got home. Tuesday rolls around and I call and ask if my computer is ready, he basically acts as if he has no clue who I am and tells me to call back in ten minutes. So, I called back in ten minutes and he tells me my laptop is ready. I go to pick it up and pay. He brings out my laptop and I start observing the headphone jack. The cotton swab is still stuck on the inside.... I begin questioning him why there's still cotton stuck inside and he tells me that the computer is supposed to be like that.... I go on to say that that's incorrect because I know that headphone jacks don't have fluffy white stuff inside. He tells me that the headphone jack still works (which makes me really upset because I brought it to a repair store because I did not want to use the jack until it was removed or replaced). He then asks my boyfriend to hold one end of the laptop and he begins looking inside the headphone jack (probably for the first time) with a flashlight and prodding with a piece of metal. I could have done this at home. He then takes my computer to the back of the room which he says to give him a minute. At this point, I say that I feel uncomfortable leaving my computer with him when he told me my computer was ready and now he's trying to fix it on the spot. I basically demand a refund because I can clearly tell he did not fix my problem at all. Costumers walk in and he tells me he'll refund my card. When I go home and open my desktop, all of my old pictures are open..... so creepy. And on top of that, with inspection I've noticed a bunch of scratches that were not there before. I highly advise against going to PC Techman.
