Bill & Dave Computer Repair saved the day

We needed a fast replacement on the hard drive of our laptop. Bill & Dave Computer Repair got it done for us. They fixed an unlockable touchpad on the laptop that was driving me crazy. They also upgraded us to Windows 11.

We paid for pickup and delivery of the device AND for express service, which increased our costs, but for us these extra charges were will worth it.

We will use Bill & Dave Computer Repair again and will recommend them to our friends.

Awful customer service, delays, and untruths

What can I say. Originally told it would take around a week for my repair to be completed. Now a month in and found it impossible to get them to return my texts, emails, calls etc.

I went into the store to speak to them and was treated rudely and unprofessionally. They seem fine for basic phone repairs but anything more complicated it is a nightmare.

Company Response

Hi K, I am sorry if you had a bad experience at our shop. Unfortunately, the name K does not bring up any results in our system. Nor did you provide any details as to who you are or what we were supposed to be doing for you or what problem you actually had aside from a delay. We currently quote a week for diagnostics, so being told the repair would be done in a week may have been a misunderstanding? We do not lie to people, nor do we ever feel there is any reason to lie to people. I can assure you I personally answer all emails, and texts, normally, within 48 hours. We are open 7 days a week and the phone rings all day with someone answering it constantly. We also try to be very professional. Even after people have been rude to us, we try to be polite and simply try not to engage. I would be happy to investigate this further if you can provide more information. Please feel free to reach out if you think we can turn this experience into a better one for you. -Dave

Technical failure resulting in damage

Due to mishandling - misdiagnosis and lack of appropriate caution - Bill and Dave's destroyed my computer's hard drive. I had to spend $338 to have the underlying problem diagnosed and repaired, get a new hard-drive, and retrieve some of my data - not all of it was retrievable. While it's true I should have been backing up regularly it's also true that Bill and Dave's should have checked the functioning of my PC's fan. I only remembered after the other business did it that the place I used to bring my computer to always checked the fan functioning first thing. It's particularly smart to do that given that a poorly working fan in combination with running anti-virus software for many hours will melt down hard-drives. I hope this shop smartens up, and also makes an effort to communicate more clearly and courteously.

Hi Janet,

I am sorry you had this experience with our company.

First of all, you are right, everyone should have an up-to-date backup, especially before trusting the only copy of your data with a repair shop. You checked it into our shop for Warranty to remove virus' that you claimed we did not on the work order a month previous. There was no mention of your fan and/or heat at all. Next, the drive did not "Melt down" due to us not checking the fan. Hard drives can sustain extremely hot temperatures (up to and including 50 degrees Celsius before damaging effects occur over time). Residual heat from a dirty fan in your laptop will not cause your hard drive to fail. Hardware failure can happen at any time for many reasons. You came to us a month after we removed virus'expecting us to do it under warranty. While we would have been happy to help and were doing so, your computer froze and would not boot again. You claiming this was our fault, came in with a condescending attitude and insulted 2 of our employees after blaming us for the failure. At that point, we simply halted the repair and asked you to take your device and leave. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you think this could be resolved in a matter that doesn't include lies and slandering us online. Thanks for your feedback, we are indeed and always will be working on our process to create a better repair experience for everyone involved. -Dave

Upgrade of iMac hard drive and RAM

We have an old iMac, from 2009. It was getting very slow, with constant pinwheels. Rather than purchase a new one, I researched upgrading the hard drive and installing more RAM. I went to BDC, talked to Milan, the manager of the Rideau street location and decided to upgrade. BDC installed 480GB SSD, new OSX installed and transferred data from IDE drive. They also upgraded Ram to 8GB and cleaned the internal of the computer. It now runs faster than ever. We are so pleased with the service and the price. Much better than big box stores. I will definitely use BDC again for all tech needs. good honest service at an affordable price.

iPhone screen repair

This is the best place in Ottawa for phone screen repairs. I checked every place in Ottawa and Bill & Dave Computer Repair was the most inexpensive. It was super fast service, i waited under 25 mins in the waiting room with a water cooler, coffee maker, and magazines. Very cool, worth checking out.
