I am changing my initial review noted below because of the poor experience after a part failed and the company refused to correct it. A new hard drive was installed in October 2013 and about a month later the computer began acting up but we were not in town so I contacted the company via email and at first our exchange went well but after we ran diagnostics that showed that the "new" hard drive was failing (the Apple diagnostics indicated that the S.M.A.R.T. system was failing) the owner claimed that it must be our fault. We then bought and installed a new hard drive where we were and the computer worked fine. When I returned to Florida about 6 weeks later I brought the failed hard drive to the store and Jeff said that it was readable and thus good, so I asked him to run diagnostics which he said he did not have time to do and then stated that it was probably the motherboard that needed to be replaced and that used ones could be bought for about $500 online. I did not believe him (and his assistant) and he said that the current motherboard would probably fail in a couple of months. I left the store with the bad hard drive in hand.
I sent the hard drive to Western Digital and they confirmed it was bad in this email that they sent to me:
Re: Bad drive; S/N WXM1AC0F1576. Thank you for contacting Western Digital Customer Service and Support to have us inspect your drive. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Your drive can be read even though it shows S.M.A.R.T. issues, however this indicates that it should be about to fail completely
The serial number for your drive is for an OEM hard drive that was either included in another system at the time that a computer was purchased or it was purchased in a non-Western Digital retail box. Because of this, either the system manufacturer or the place of purchase is responsible for the warranty of the hard drive. You need to contact your place of purchase for warranty support.
The manufacture date is 18-FEB-2011 so either the drive was sitting for a long time either on a store shelf or with a computer manufacturer before it was sold. Unfortunately we are unable to verify if the drive was new when it was put in your computer.
OEM drives are sold to computers manufacturers to build the computers they sell and the latest one is the one that provide the warranty to the customer, as previously stated.
I sent the email from Western Digital to Jeff but never got a response.
It has been one year since we replaced the hard drive that All Star Tech installed and the computer works perfectly.
So the bottom line is that All Star Tech services probably buys parts on line from third party vendors and thus has no guarantee.
I would not go there again.
Despite being very technically adept at building and repairing PC based computers, I was stumped by this MacBook Pro laptop which did respond to numerous attempts to fix it so I relented and decided to bring it to a repair shop. I was going to bring it to an Apple store but got a coupon on line for All Star Tech Support and checked on Angie's List and saw that it got very good reviews.
I brought the computer to the shop and was immediately very impressed with the customer focus, sincerity of the owners (Emilia and Jeff), technical knowledge and sensitively of pricing the repair fairly (for example, they told me that that they do not mark up the price of parts). The computer was repaired in a couple of days and the cost was actually less than what I expected. So the bottom line is that this shop is great and I would not hesitate to take another non functioning computer (that I could not fix) to this shop. They can be trusted to do the work right, quickly and at a very fair price. Go there!
