They are the BEST! They were willing to help me recover images from my corrupted (I think) SD card, something I wasn’t even sure was a service they offer, they were quick to say yes they would help when I called! Not only were they incredibly kind when I called and every time I went in person, but they were able to recover my images!! At this moment they are my heros! Knowledgeable, great communication and customer service, friendly, fast working, fair pricing….it’s not hard to see why they are so highly rated! I will be coming back and recommending them to all my friends and family!

They were so happy to help with such a small issue. It was a wonderful thing to find someone who understands and knows how to deliver customer service. They didn't charge me for their time, I will go back to them anytime I have an issue with my computer.

Boy was my computer Fxxkd! I couldn't figure out how to get it to boot to save my life. I tried for hours with no avail. Heck I'm even in IT and I had a hard time trying to figure out my booting issue. I left my PC with Cowabunga for a couple hours, came back and BOOM! I was staring at my login screen. Boy was I thrilled! I could finally get back to my virtual life and Game! LEEEEEEEEROY JEEEEEEEENKIIINSSS!!!! 🥳🤘They are reliable, highly intelligent, and wont upsell you on prices.Cowabunga isn't looking to make a quick buck.

Still the same after all these years. Good service. Fair pricing. Diligent and uncompromising. Tell you what you need before you come down there. Updates via email and phone calls. Only one still going after others have come and gone. Fast turnaround time once work has begun. Better than shelling out for a new computer that is going to cost some serious bucks. Cowabunga.
