Discount Computers Inc, Sarasota FL

We have been with Doug and Amelia almost from the start of their business! None better for quality of product, consistency of expert service and personal attention.

Had power supply I needed at a great price. Have always bought PCs direct from Dell. Next time I am calling these people. Knowledgeable, easy to work with

What an amazing little business! Owner helped me out with my power to board issue and is so friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this place to any one with a custom or regular pc. He really treats you so well.

Locally operated computer store where service is their way of doing business. This is exactly what you won't get from the big box retailers, except for pricing. I won't shop anywhere else for my computer needs.

I have been in here 3 times and I have found them to be knowledgeable, extremely helpful and very courteous. When I have a computer issue I am there and knowing once I walked in the door it is going to be okay. Highly recommend.

I heard these people are very knowledgeable about computers, but I did not have mine serviced by them. It was just a bad customer service experience. It's not actually helpful to have a group of people say random things to you like "turn your computer on and do xyz" instead of listening to the customer. If the British lady (?) could listen to people she would have understand my computer doesn't turn on, so her advice was moot. Very frustrating experience. I called in advance about my laptop and was told to bring it in, then all the staff acted like I was crazy for bringing it in. Within one minute of coming in the door they told me they can't do anything for it. If you only service laptops with easily removable batteries, maybe advertise that? Or tell people on the phone when they call about laptop repair? I can mail something back to the manufacturer or take something back to the store myself. The lady there came off so condescending. She actually said to me "see that green part? That's the motherboard. That's like the brains of the computer". I'm not 6 years old you and don't have to talk to me like I'm an idiot and give me a lesson on motherboards. Luckily, there's another shop across the street.

Edit to add: I can't reply in this thread but the response below from the store asked me to update. It's a few hours later and my computer is working fully. I'm typing this on it right now! I brought it to a different shop, on Gulfgate just across 41. My laptop was definitely very banged up, I know, and to be fixed I needed someone willing to open it up and fix the connections. I'm fortunate it was fixable and only $150.
I think it was just a case of the wrong repair job for a particular shop, and needing to find the right place, where they maybe do this particular thing more often. I guess not everywhere opens up the kind of laptop I have that is sealed all around the battery, etc.

Besides possessing ultimate knowledge of computers, these people are friendly and understanding. They lean over to do a good job without hitting you with a huge bill. They try to solve your problem without having to charge you immediately like the other computer shops. 5 stars for honesty and integrity.

Excellent computers, suggestions, knowledge and service. We found this store more than 20 years ago and have never needed to go anywhere else.

Absolutely great and friendly staff, had what I needed and took the time to make sure it would work. Will definitely be back.

About 1 years ago I was on vacation in Sarasota, (I'm French). I had come with my family to inquire about buying computer components, I was super delighted with how I was received, the store manager is super nice, he does a real job, he is passionate about it.it's great. I hope you remember me if you read this msg (I bought a motherboard with a cooler and a ssd). This store is superb.big respect from a French

I just stopped in for the first time after calling multiple other stores in the area with no helpful advice. The staff here was friendly, knowledgeable and quick to offer solutions to my problems. They even talked me put of an unnecessary purchase explaining that it was very unlikely to be the problem until I had looked into other options first, something I see very rarely these days. I HIGHLY recommend shopping at Discount Computers for any of your tech needs, repairs or advice. 5 out of 5, I will be returning for all future computer purchases!

Discount Computers is my "go to" computer store and support. Over the past 10 years, Discount Computers has custom constructed several computers for my wife and myself to our great satisfaction.

These machines have been extremely reliable and trouble free, noticeably more so than computers we had purchased previously off the Internet and in "big box" stores. Very important for us because we use our computers for hours every day. The free instructions and post sale support have been extraordinary as well.

It is no surprise Doug and Amelia have been in business for over 25 years. They long ago earned our trust.
