Went to this place a while back to get a new screen fixed and at first glance everything seemed okay. Give it a moment to realise that they didn't fix it properly and didn't put all the pieces back properly, waste of time and money and a good laptop that I should have had it fixed somewhere else

Outstanding service - quick, very competent and with a local pick-up and delivery service. I was particularly impressed by the email updates that told me exactly where they were up to in their investigations and repairs. As well as having a dead power supply, I needed to replace a hard drive and took the opportunity to upgrade to an SSD. There was no sales pressure - just sensible and knowledgeable advice; if anything, I was encouraged not to spend more than I needed to. All this with a pleasant, 'can do' attitude and no dramas. A great company to deal with.

Thought I needed more RAM but they talked me out of it, showing what my real problem was. Could have just sold it to me then shrugged when didn't fix my problem. Very refreshing to deal with people you can trust. Recommended.

Very good, and reasonably priced, I found it to be much cheaper then mainstream places, and a nicer one to one service, sometimes big companies can be rather intimidating and let's face it, try and worm extras in there, not the case in the slightest here which I appreciated very much. Thought it was fantastic that my laptop was collected from my home and then again delivered and setup, a really nice service to have as I expected to take it and collect it once fixed. Great communication throughout too. Definitely recommend and would certainly use again, although I hope my laptop doesn't break anymore! : very pleased indeed.

Just had a new bespoke computer made a fitted by Phil from chips. Phil provided a fabulous, quick and extremely efficient service from initial contact to fitted and working (4 days). The computer is one of the new era Solid State Drives (SSD's) and is absolutely amazing.(lightening fast). Phil has a great approach and attitude to his work and it has been a pleasure to deal with. If you want a complete professional and friendly company to deal with all you computer needs, then I would thoroughly recommend Chips Computers. Many thanks, Rik.

I needed to upgrade my work PC as it was no longer doing what I needed. I went online and found what I thought to be the best build for my money. I went in to see Phil & Jenny. They had a look at my proposed build and told me I cold get a much better build for very little more money (an extra 45. As I was spending 900 i didn't quibble). And went in to detail as to why.

I ended up with a completely different build that what I originally thought I wanted. They were very god at finding the newest and most compatible hardware for me. I was VERY VERY happy. I had a machine that will do me for the next 5+ years. Then after only 2 weeks it developed a problem. It kept locking up completely. I'm a Professional Wedding Photographer and cant afford to be editing a Wedding and it locking up and potentially losing data.

I got in touch with Jenny (Phil's wife) and she was lovely. I dropped it off as it had a warranty through them. Over the next few days I got regular phone calls from both Phil and Jenny telling me what they had done and what was happening. I felt involved through out. The machine had to go back a few times for the same reason. We still don't know why it kept freezing, but Phil and Jenny got it sorted for me and was very friendly and helpful throughout.

I would recommend anyone to go there as they are very knowledgeable, friendly, honest (getting more and more rare theses days sadly) and inspire confidence. I will definitely be going back with my other PC's :)

Computers stopped working, Phil came to see me within a couple of hours, unfortunately the computer had overheated due to been clogged up with dust inside, I decided to get a new computer rather then repair the old one, He was able to get me a new computer build up that works faster then i can lol, as well as recover all my information. Amazing as always, have been seeing them for at least 8 years
