Contemporary Computers

I first met Phil over 10-years ago after nearly having a heart attack when a hard drive failed on my computer. Phil not only saved the data, he did it for a fair price (under $500). This compared to the minimum $1,500 estimates I received from other companies. I knew then I'd found a person who was both technically brilliant and (perhaps more importantly) trustworthy.

Since then, he and his team have become my company's defacto technical support department. Helping us with everything from email issues and website development to purchasing and setting up new computers. I know I'm not their biggest client, but their quick attention to my needs make me feel like I am.

I highly recommend them for any computer related issues you may have. In my business of video production, where a lost video file can cost thousands to replace, I sleep easier knowing they are just an email or phone call away.

Contemporary Computers has upgraded my computer for me and has done an excellent job! The build is ultra quite and makes zero noise! Great case choice & pristine wire management. I am very happy with my purchase and looking forward to having a faster workload speeds and gaming experiences!

I was in panic mode as my computer ran out of memory. They were able to help quickly and efficiently, from a distance. Also explained what I needed to do in the long term to resolve the issue (so it doesn't happen again). I will take both laptop and desktop over to have them update everything. Very knowledgeable and professional.

I have been using Contemporary Computers for a few years now and found them to be knowledgeable, pleasant and accommodating. They have always tried their best with what must be one of the most difficult challenges; to diagnose and repair personal computers. Pricing, I believe, is reasonable and the owner is always willing to discuss and negotiate if there is some usolved issue regarding the repair/upgrade.

WARNING- WARNING -- He is NOT Mac certified

DO NOT TAKE YOUR MAC TO THIS LOCATION!!!

I'm in the middle of taking Phil (the owner) to court for theft and fraud. I took my MacBook Pro to get a simple repair done, to later find out the he had extracted my information and placed it into an a significantly older Mac. After paying and taking what I thought was my computer home, I realized that I had been defrauded out of my Mac, there were 3 different serial numbers on the existing Mac he gave me. When confronted, Phil denied the issue and accused me of being dishonest. Thank goodness I still had the original box in which the Mac came in, and ALL supporting documents and STRONG evidence claiming what he had done was theft and fraud. In addition to my situation, another customer with a MacBook Pro was in the store complaining to Phil about the gaffe Phil did to his computer as well.

When I presented all of my supporting documents to Phil, he informed me that one of his techs had done a swap, which is false and apologized and began to negotiate. He stated that my computer had magically reappeared, although the parts were missing and swapped. Keep in mind my computer was kept in pristine condition and barely used, thus seeing the occasion to sell the parts to my computer. My initial computer was a 2.83ghz, and the one he gave me is a 1.80ghz.
To try and hinder any sort of embarrassment, he phoned the police and fabricated a story, which bares me from entering the store. I phoned the police and filled a report, and will be filling charges and am in the process of taking him to court.

I read the False reviews on Yelp, which prompted me to go to Alternative Contemporary Computers....LESSON LEARNED!!! I will keep you all posted on the outcome.

Phil has done many jobs for me - fixing my computer, installing new hardware, helping me with coding for a web-site, advising on security cameras.
He just seems to know everything, is pleasant and helpful.
