Report
The team at Computer Connection helped me out, with quick turn around, when my 2012 MacBook finally gave up the ghost. I had 2 incidents of the dreaded black screen, but no full back-up. I purchased a new MacBook at an Apple Store & was told that they wouldn't work to transfer data from my old to new Mac, as my old Mac was more than 5 years old. Additionally, they no longer sold the external drive, for the old Mac, that I'd need to do a TimeMachine full back-up.
I understood, but had no way to ensure the data transfer that I needed. I called Computer Connection; they said they'd take a look. In less than 24 hours, they had successfully transferred everything to my new Mac, resulting in virtually no downtime, given that my old MacBook had died the prior morning. They made my day & turned around what started as a VERY stressful Monday. Highly recommended.

Brought in a two year old Lenovo laptop that was lightly used but out of warranty with a squeaky case and wrist rest that was making annoying noises on a constant basis. while warning me upfront that they couldn't correct design and build issues, they worked on my machine for a week and got it done. no more squeaks and rattles! Outstanding attention to detail and if I ever have a software related issue I won't hesitate to go back.

Got a few tweaks (new cooling fan and keyboard) taken care at the Computer Connection. The cost was reasonable and it restored my laptop to the dependable tool that I have relied upon for so long. Try it, you'll like it!

Solved my issue in under an hour, also fixed some stuff I didn't know needed fixing. Will come back if I have issues in the future.

I can't speak to the technical competence of Computer Connection's owner and employees (at a standard rate of $125 per hour, it should be good), but the customer service is among the worst I have experienced. The employees did not return multiple phone calls and the owner did not call me even after I visited the store and had one of the employees write the owner a note asking him to call me. Because of Computer Connection's poor customer service, I took my business elsewhere and was able to obtain the services I needed for a fraction of the cost.

Brilliant local computer & computer repair shop. There is a reason 99% of mom & pop electronics stores closed but this one is still open & has been for at least the last 20 years (that I can remember, probably longer honestly). Usually at local mom & pop computer stores they have a very limited selection of merchandise & services & prices are much higher than Best Buy or other big electronics stores.
This is not the case here. They literally have TONS of replacement & upgrade parts, OEM & aftermarket alike & competitive low prices. They also have Mac & PC laptops & Desktops for sale. The staff is SUPER knowledgeable & always gets me the correct part or service. I've never been upsold on something I did not need, in fact most of the time I end up being sold my merchandise for less than they list in the store! I mean this place is great! 5 stars all day.
