looking for pc repair in oswaldtwistle

accyman · 28-03-2009, 13:14

i would strongly recomend AVOIDING the place on union road near teh town hall

a friend of mine took their pc there and was charged £90 for un needed repairs

they said the onboard graphics was broken - a lie

thy installed a pci express graphics card that wasnt needed

they wiped of the legitimate home edition of xp and installed a dodgy copy of xp pro

they didnt install all the drivers for the devices on the motherboard

the pc got worse and worse so they asked me to take a look at it

anyone who knows anything about computers could have seen straight away that it was the hard drive at fault and a hard drive diagnostic tool from the manufacturers website confirmed this which is the only thing they didnt bother to do

not saying all their work is shoddy but posted this so you can make your own decision if you want to risk taking your system there or not

Isnt this the one that moved from Abbey st, near the bottom of Water st. sure somebody commented on the service they got there one time

the bloke that runs it was a couple of years above me at Moorhead, he's called Simon

accyman · 28-03-2009, 22:20

doubt hes called simon the guys that have the shop im refering to are asian but you never know

either way on this occasion a very shoddy job

next time im speak to my pal i will get the name of the shop then theres no guessing

its near the traffic lights on union road where ryddings is

well poor spugs computers bust ... so you dont recommend it to go there do you? Mind you it would have to be posted from oooop north!!!!

Accyman, i assumed that it was the bloke that Lancsdave was referring to, the one who used to be on Abbey Street(next to the dungeon), he now has a pc shop in Ossy and he is called Simon

mallard · 29-03-2009, 09:19

thank,s for that info my brother took his there and says he,s ok,but i will let him to read this on the web when i go down .

accyman · 29-03-2009, 11:11

supoose its liek geting your car fixed , always a good idea to get two opinions especially if you dont know how to fix things yourself

cmonstanley · 29-03-2009, 11:14

flashy · 29-03-2009, 14:11

The shop that accyman is refering to is across the road from Ossy Clinic, it used to be a bridal shop. Its called MPC Computers and has been there for years. The one across from the library has only been there a few years.

hi all new to accy web
thought i comment on this in particular as i know the guys at mpc as they repaired my computer a couple of times . i dont know if accyman is mistaken but the service i received is first class there are some of the most honest lads i come across. They were recommended by others to me rather then overcharge they have many time provided free services were others would charge . and theres not a change there would use illegal copy of windows.
